How we think about photographs
In this episode, I dive into Stephen Shore’s thought-provoking photography concept of mental models and thinking about your images based on his book, “The Nature of Photographs”. In the podcast, we explore how framing, composition, and external influences shape our understanding of photographs on both a mental and physical level.
Couple of other notes from the podcast
Just a reminder about my critique class on September 21-22nd.
if you haven’t done so, check out the best images from the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics. Some of them are amazing and so cool to see what those photographers captured.
I also suggest checking out Ashley Lagrange’s “Basic Critical Theory for Photographers” for a solid grasp of critical photography texts.
The world around us is impacting us as we make the photograph.
The camera captures light. And again, it’s bound by frame, it’s bound by composition that we set up in an effort to pull an abstraction.
