    HT2692 - Lessons from My EPIC Series

    I've just posted episode #1600 in my series Every Picture is a Compromise. I started this project with the idea of being helpful, but interestingly enough it's turned out to be an educational opportunity for me, too. Looking at 1600 of my failures and thinking about them more deeply has been an incredible learning opportunity I hadn't fully anticipated. I think the deepest lesson here is that thinking about photography can be almost as valuable as doing it.

    HT2691 - Art As a Shortcut

    Hopefully without sounding too hedonistic, I would propose that life is experience. Mortality, however, being what it is, prevents us from unlimited experience. One of the purposes of art is that it allows us to expand our experience of life beyond the personally experiential. You can feel through my art just as I can feel through yours. There is a difference, however, between seeing through your eyes and feeling through your heart.

    HT2690 - Start Anywhere

    Don't have an idea for a project? Pick an image at random and spend some time processing it. It's less important that you're processing that image than it is to be aware of ideas and hints that pop into mind while you're processing. If nothing occurs to you with that first image, pick another image at random and process it. Eventually, without fail, I've found an idea will come to mind even if it is a bit indistinct and fuzzy with the first glimpse. Ideas come from pictures more often than the other way around. Creative momentum is the key.

    HT2689 - New Software Capabilities vs Convenience Features

    Software updates have become a part of every digital photographers routine. Every time a new software update is announced, I look forward to new capabilities that will open up new ways to improve my images. So many times, however, the so-called "update" has more to do with making things easier than with making things possible.

    HT2688 - Outside the Box

    We've all heard that age-old maxim about creativity and "thinking outside the box." We are supposed to hear this exhortation relative to our unconscious habits. I would propose that the box we are supposed to get outside of is the camera itself. When I find myself thinking I've made a nice photograph, I know I need to let go of photography and remember that art is about LIFE, not our chosen medium of expression.

Über LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process
Random Observations on Art, Photography, and the Creative Process. These talks focus on the creative process in fine art photography. LensWork editor Brooks Jensen side-steps techno-talk and artspeak to offer a stimulating mix of ideas, experience, and observations from his 50 years as a fine art photographer, writer, and publisher. Topics include a wide range of subjects from finding subject matter to presenting your work, and building an audience. Included in this RSS Feed are the LensWork Podcasts — posted weekly, typically 10-20 minutes exploring a topic a bit more deeply — and our almost daily Here's a thought… audios (extracted from the videos.) Here's a thought… are snippets, fragments, morsels, and tidbits from Brooks' fertile (and sometimes swiss-cheesy) brain. Usually just a minute or two. Always about photography and the art life. Brooks Jensen is the publisher of LensWork, one of the world's most respected and award-winning photography publications, known for its museum-book quality printing and luxurious design. LensWork has subscribers in over 73 countries. He is the author of 13 books on photography and the creative life -- the latest books are The Best of the LensWork Interviews (2016), Photography, Art, and Media (2016), and the four annual volumes of Seeing in SIXES (2016-2019).
