Good evening everyone! It’s the American Dream again, talking about what’s been draining me lately!
Then I do a creative writing read out of an eight-page piece I made for my English 210 class.
Don’t worry, I only read about a page and a half. It’s non-fiction, though!
The moral of my story today is this: Try Harder To Do Nothing.
Interpret that how you want!
I initially told Charlotte that’s how she should be posing, because the photo actually has nothing to do with her—it’s everything around her that makes the image beautiful.
Charlotte is obviously a beautiful woman, but what makes any photograph is very little to do with the model, and everything to do with the photographer’s ability to construct and see a scene.
and that’s the pro-tip for photography. I can’t quite teach you how to be capable of constructing and seeing a scene, but it’s learned. You can do it, eventually. Trial and error. Try not to trial-error with film.
It’s expensive, especially if you’re cheap.
