Expanding on my blog of last week - what are we looking for in our fine art photography? Why am I even using my home made black box?! My box helps me to create contrasting light - the shadows are as important as the highlights and the resulting contrast creates interest. This is true of all genres of photography - look online at the work of the great master photographers - analyse why you like their work and start experimenting yourself. Instead of achieving the perfect ‘bell’ histogram in the centre, tuck your histogram to the left and see how it impacts on you photos.
For me, experimenting, challenging my current processes and style is all part of the art, part of the fun of photography and is an essential process to ensure my creativity doesn’t stagnate. We are evolving - and so is our art.
