The Perceptive Photographer


Why sitting with uneasy feelings can help you better edit your photographs.

October 23, 2023

As a photographer, I believe it’s essential to step out of our comfort zones to improve the quality of our images. In this episode, I discuss the significance of exploring new techniques, embracing uncertainty, and actively engaging with the creative process.


I also stress the importance of taking the time to sit with our feelings, identifying any issues that may be hindering us, and using a checklist approach to analyze and edit our images. In addition to that, I recommend exploring unknown territories to make creative breakthroughs, and listening to our internal voice and acknowledging discomfort to make better decisions.
