Triple Distillation and a better photographs

from The Perceptive Photographer

Welcome to episode 579 of the Perceptive Photographer. This week, we explore the unexpected connection between the distillation of alcohol and the art of photography. This idea came to me when I was thinking about a visit to a local distillery mean years ago. I was amazed how the process of removing impurities from spirits mirrors the photographic journey of refining images to their essential core. So this week I thought I would talk about the “triple distillation” mindset and how distilling your images, your intention, and your creative approach can lead to photographs that are clearer, more intentional, and truly resonate. Whether your work leans toward complexity or simplicity, I hpe that you can find someithng in this weeks episode on the value of eliminating noise/impurities from both in your frames and your mind to make more meaningful photographs.
