LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process

LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process

Random Observations on Art, Photography, and the Creative Process. These talks focus on the creative process in fine art photography. LensWork editor Brooks Jensen side-steps techno-talk and artspeak to offer a stimulating mix of ideas, experience, and observations from his 50 years as a fine art photographer, writer, and publisher. Topics include a wide range of subjects from finding subject matter to presenting your work, and building an audience.

Included in this RSS Feed are the LensWork Podcasts ? posted weekly, typically 10-20 minutes exploring a topic a bit more deeply ? and our almost daily Here's a thought? audios (extracted from the videos.) Here's a thought? are snippets, fragments, morsels, and tidbits from Brooks' fertile (and sometimes swiss-cheesy) brain. Usually just a minute or two. Always about photography and the art life.

Brooks Jensen is the publisher of LensWork, one of the world's most respected and award-winning photography publications, known for its museum-book quality printing and luxurious design. LensWork has subscribers in over 73 countries. He is the author of 13 books on photography and the creative life -- the latest books are The Best of the LensWork Interviews (2016), Photography, Art, and Media (2016), and the four annual volumes of Seeing in SIXES (2016-2019).

HT1825 - Convenience Wins Most of the Time

HT1825 - Convenience Wins Most of the Time

Music and photography have a very interesting characteristic in common. The medium that tends to dominate consumption is almost never the one of highest quality but rather the one of most convenience. For example, in music real-to-reel tape recordings are much higher fidelity than the pops and clicks of records, but the convenience of records completely dominated the marketplace. There is a parallel in photography.

HT1824 - White Is Not a Tone

HT1824 - White Is Not a Tone

Certain subjects, snow and sand dunes immediately to mind, we describe as being "white." But there is a difference between white in nature and photographic white, a perfectly detail-less tone in a print. Photographic snow or sand dunes are actually gray, but that is the trickiest gray to achieve successfully without it looking dingy. Photographic white is not so much a tone as it is a description of visible detail.

HT1823 - The Soft Blacks of Matte Paper

HT1823 - The Soft Blacks of Matte Paper

Matte inkjet paper, like the paper used for platinum/palladium printing, has a lovely surface but cannot produce very deep black tones. Measured with a densitometer, the black of matte paper will typically top out at about 1.5, whereas glossy paper can easily reach a density of 2.2. Our eyes magically adjust for this difference, and thank goodness they do.

HT1822 - The Lovely and Awful Panorama Format

HT1822 - The Lovely and Awful Panorama Format

Some of my favorite work from the last dozen years have been extreme form panorama format images. Think aspect ratios of 8:1 or greater. For example, I have an image of Capitol Reef that is 8 ft long and 12 in tall. I love the image, and it's such an interesting thing to view on the wall here at the house. But framing such beasts is absurdly expensive and publishing such images is simply impossible.

HT1821 - Just Not Feeling It

HT1821 - Just Not Feeling It

I find it difficult to separate similar excuses for not wanting to photograph. Sometimes I think I'm just not feeling it, and my motivation wanes. That's often confused, however, with my inner sloth, when I just don't feel like gearing up and doing the work that's necessary. Why do I assume that art making is only possible when energetic enthusiasm drives it?

HT1820 - What Is Not Photographed

HT1820 - What Is Not Photographed

Sometimes I become so focused on the subject I've selected to photograph that I completely miss great opportunities that are right in front of me. Developing an awareness of what could become a small photographic story is part of the creative process challenge.

LW1390 - Gear, Part 3, Gear Guilt

LW1390 - Gear, Part 3, Gear Guilt

I have an uncomfortable relationship with photographic gear. I have some gear that looks great, implies that I'm a serious photographer, has basic and exotic capabilities, and makes me feel, when using it, like I'm a serious photographer. And then I have gear that has none of the above characteristics but just makes great pictures. When it comes to making serious art, why do I feel slightly guilty if I'm not using a "serious" camera? Where did I pick up that myth that the quality of the artwork is a consequence of the gear?

HT1819 - Slow Shutter Speeds Handheld

HT1819 - Slow Shutter Speeds Handheld

We are so lucky today to live in the age of image stabilized cameras. We can shoot handheld at amazingly long shutter speeds, at least compared to yesteryear. That said, it's not perfect, not every shot, and that leads to a strategy. Whenever I'm pushing a slow shutter speed, I simply shoot a bunch of exposures, often using burst mode. I don't care if 19 of the 20 exposures are slightly soft due to camera movement, as long as one of them is luckily sharp enough for my needs.

All 1800+ episodes of Here's a Thought . . . are available in their entirety to members of LensWork Online, our extensive resource library of our 30-year publishing history. Learn more about LensWork Online.
