The Perceptive Photographer

The Perceptive Photographer


Thinking about the Connection Between Perception and Photography

October 21, 2024

In this episode of podcast, I ponder and dig into how perception shapes our understanding of photographs. It all starts from thoughts of donuts from Oscar Wilde and mirror from Ralph Waldo Emerson. With their quotes in mind, Igot to thinking about how much of our perception is subjective and influenced by our mental state and not actually factual.


As you look at your own work, one of the things in the podcast that I hope you will do is reflect on how your personal experiences and emotions are mirrored in your photography, rather than just focusing on technical accuracy.


Don’t forget that I got a bunch of upcoming workshops, including the Photoshop Virtual Summit and my own sessions on inspiration and printing.


Also, don’t forget to check out the upcoming workshops if you want to deepen your understanding and skills in your work.
