A Sense of Place

Mar 19, 2015 My first photography seminar opened new doors for my next adventure!
A photographer from the National Geographic magazine discussed her techniques for capturing desirable photos for publication. An important element, which I had lacked in some of my photos, was the concept that conveys a sense of place. Her wide-angle photos engaged viewers with interesting subjects in their environment while eliciting a powerful emotional response. Her landscape photos showed the action and motion of the residences interacting within that environment. Inspired, I've decided to take on a more photo journalistic approach to my photography. Be inspired and branch out!

Reflection

Sense of place... I realized that photographer's photos reflect their emotional state of being. The phrase, sense of place, not only represents a photographic concept, but also the photographer's inner essence.
What is my sense of place in this world? How does it affect my photography?
I haven't been conveying sense of place, because I've been more internally focused. My photos showed the closeness of things, which reflects my desire to analyze things closely, in my mind and visually. I have outgrown this phase and naturally began the next stage. Going from less internally focused to more outwardly focused, this seminar was the next logical step in moving forward. The decision to attend my first seminar was easy and the information received truly resonated with my core. This was a great decision!
