About this episode
Brooks Jensen discusses the challenges of capturing overwhelming beauty in landscape photography and the struggle for personal expression.
HT2649 - Overwhelming Beauty Sometimes I really struggle as a landscape photographer. When the scene is overwhelmingly beautiful, one would think that making a successful photograph would be easier. It's not. The more beautiful the scene before my camera the more difficult it is for me to make manifest my personal response. I'm reduced to using the camera as a recorder rather than as a medium of personal expression. Said another way, the more beautiful the scene the more my picture looks like everyone else's.
