SLP #0006: Portraits of Nature (That Turned Into Stories)
from Summit Lab Podcast: Experiments in creativity, storytelling, and building a meaningful life. · host Chris Thompson
This week didn’t go how I expected.I set out to shoot portraits of nature—but instead, I started to see something deeper. Not just subjects, but stories within a frame. Through layering, letting go of forced shots, and simply walking away when it wasn’t working, something clicked.I also share a recent portrait session, thoughts on Canon vs Sony, creative workflow changes, and the challenge (and reward) of showing up every day.Next experiment: Chasing Light.
