Lessons learned

July 30, 2023  •  Leave a Comment

I've spent a lot of time reading books on photography and watching videos, as well as the actual act of taking pictures. This short set is an example of putting into practice a few things that I've picked up over the years. Specifically: 1) Find a spot and hang out there for a while. 2) Be patient and wait for a reason to take the picture. 3) Don't shoot only in portrait mode or only in landscape mode. 4) Try and create variation in the scene (even though it's the same place). And lastly (this is also something that turns up in Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies), 5) if something "unwanted" comes into the frame, see it as something you can use.

Hope you like these!

Thanks for looking!
