HT2627 - How the Art Is Built
from LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process · host Brooks Jensen
HT2627 - How the Art Is Built Painters usually start with a sketch, a visual working-out of an idea, a practice run, an experiment. They build from the sketch to the finished painting, step by step. The same can be said of poetry, theater, cinema, novel writing, most every medium I can think of. Photographs start with a fully realized image which the photographer then improves by modifying or eliminating things the camera sees in entirety. I'm fascinated by this difference in approach. I also think this is the main reason I'm resistant to AI photography. Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and our free daily Here's a Thought… with a donation Thanks!
