Learning to See

October 9, 2004 | Mark Goldstein | Technique | Comment |

Michael Reichmann has published a great article about developing your own personal photographic vision and ultimately “learning to see”.

“Possibly the biggest curse of the digital photography revolution is that it has excessively focused photographer’s attention on technology, rather than vision. We now have tools that allow us to take very sharp pictures indeed, but a sharp photograph of a fuzzy concept is of little interest or value to anyone.

Why then do the majority of photographers, magazines and enthusiast web sites concentrate almost exclusively on gear, secondarily on technique, and hardly at all on how to see? The answer is simple - it’s easier.”
