WM-540: Connecting Instead of Observing | Photography Clips Podcast

from Photography Clips · host Will Moneymaker

Photographers like to think of themselves as observers. We stand back, we watch, we wait for something interesting to happen. But observation is only half the story. The real heart of photography often comes from connection, not distance. Today, we're going to talk about what it means to move from observing your subjects to truly connecting with them. As photographers, it's easy to slip into the mindset of simply watching the world. We look for things to photograph, we wait for the right moment, and we document whatever stands out. But when we operate purely as observers, we create a certain distance between ourselves and the scene. We're looking in instead of being part of what's happening...
