That being said, I'm the kind of person that always worries that learning about the technical aspects of something will make it loose it's magic. The thing with photography is, learning the technical stuff only made it even more magical. The way a softer or harsher light creates a completely different is poetic. The way you create the soft or harsh light is completely creative. The number of ways you can use the light is infinite, making the numbers of emotions you can create infinite.
The workshop was all technical, but none of it was boring. I wanted to go to the Home Depot right after in order to get the materials to be able to play around with the lighting! Needless to say I'm excited for workshop number two!

ReplyDeleteThe way you CREATE ANYTHING is creative.
For us artistic types, sometimes what is needed is to shift the way we see it, or what we call it, such that we can recontextualize it into a form we can love and deal with more effectively.
