The Perceptive Photographer


The importance of simplifying when facing complexity

November 11, 2024

In this episode of my podcast, the Perceptive Photographer, I dive into the concept of “layers” in photography, drawing inspiration from the movie “Shrek.” You know how Shrek says ogres have layers? Well, I believe photographs do too, with multiple layers of meaning. I chat about how elements like composition, emotions, and even political implications can add depth to an image. I encourage you to think about your own layers as photographers and how your personal experiences shape your work.


In an upcoming episode, I’ll share some photography book recommendations for holiday gifts.


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.
