Photographing ValuesThrough conversation with my fellow photographer friend, Christine, I gained a deeper awareness of how my photography practice needed to transform to communicate how I've changed over this past year. Together, we focused on values and how different photographic techniques can support our values. Over the Summer, Christine helped me create a structure and process for connecting visuals to values. With that framework, I was able to make meaningful images to incorporate new personal experiences, including my experience coaching Ravelle, which was a part of the Summer letter. Belonging, comfort, and tenderness emerged as the values that became central to healing through the pandemic. The changes I made were subtle, simple, and specific to my unique needs. In practical terms, I stopped increasing contrast and adjusting levels, and I over-exposed while photographing from within shadows only on overcast days. Winter 2020
