    HT2642 - Compositional Sleight of Hand

    Layers are one of the most powerful tools in digital processing. An often overlooked use of layers is their abilities in composition. Want to move that car a few feet to the left? Not a problem. Cut it to a new layer, move it where you want it, then use AI to create the new background. This is a bigger deal than might be obvious because of a fundamental change that has taken place in image making

    HT2641 - Longevity

    Have we arrived at a point in the history of photography where longevity is no longer a virtue? In my youth, archival processing was an important pursuit in our mastery of craft. Now (think of Instagram), the lifespan of an image can be measured in hours, maybe days, certainly not in decades. Photography has fulfilled its prophecy by truly becoming an instantaneous art, not just in the making but also in viewing.

    LW1508 - Your Relationship with Photography

    That great literary wit Dorothy Parker is reported to have said, "I hate to write but love to have written." I suspect we can all relate to that in our own chosen medium. There will always be some parts of the creative life that we enjoy more than others. Indeed, there are likely to be some parts we detest with as much passion as we enjoy with those parts we favor.

    HT2640 - I Miss Photography

    So much of what I love about photography has been replaced by something that is, well, not the same photography I first fell in love with. A great photograph used to be rare; a great photographer used to be a kind of technological priest; before the advent of swipe left, we used to take time to view a photograph and delve into its depths; searching for a photograph used to be a holy pursuit, now it looks more like a trophy hunt. The other day I suddenly realized I missed that older kind of photography of my youth, but then immediately recognized that it is possible, at least in our own lives, to preserve the old ways.

    HT2639 - Paralyzing Success

    HT2639 - Paralyzing Success

    Here is a problem I've never had before. In the last 18 months, I've had extraordinary success. I've captured 6,700 images of which I've identified a few dozen that have technical issues I can't resolve. Of the remaining, I've flagged a couple hundred as unsuccessful compositions. That still leaves me with over 6,000 images I could turn into single winners or images in projects. Seriously, 6000 images. I'm overwhelmed, stuck, have no idea where to begin, frustrated, and a little lost. For example, I have over 1,000 lovely shots of yellow and orange aspens. What do I do with 1,000 yellow and orange aspens?

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).
