About this episode
The episode discusses the journey of creating unique photographic compositions in photogenic locations and the challenges faced after initial cliché images.
HT2648 - One Hundred Compositions Let's say you find yourself in a fascinatingly photogenic location and decide to work it intensely. We've all had this experience at one time or another. What often happens to me is that the first dozen or so images are cliché, the easiest ones, the ones that probably copy other photographers, even if I'm unaware of their images. The next few dozen images might be my own, and are usually accompanied by a thrill. That emotion carries me downstream with enthusiasm. It's then that the real challenge starts has the easy ones are exhausted and I find myself swimming upstream where the most personal artwork inevitably can be found.
