Hello Everyone,
Perhaps the greatest unchartered territory for most amateur photographers is the personal essay. The personal essay, that is, exploring one subject in great depth, presents special challenges (photographic and otherwise)…and it offers enormous rewards. In discussing this subject, Steve answers a number of key questions: How do you pick a good subject? What does “exploring in depth” really mean? What are the implications of shooting “variations on a theme?” How does the photo essay flex your creative muscles and enlarge your photographic energy? What are the best ways to organize and display your images? What non-photographic skills can enhance your photos? Through his own images and experiences, Steve will offer answers to each of these questions.
