PHOTOGRAPHY FOR LIFE
Nature photography gives us a guide for expanding our awareness, which opens us up to new understandings of ourselves and our connection to the world. With nature photography, we can explore and express complex ideas, expand curiosity, experiment with creativity, and engage meaningfully.
When being intentional with our cameras, we can focus our minds, practice self-care, and express our innate artist.
“Photography for Life” uses the rules of composition as guidance for how to compose both our images and our lives in a more intentional way. The rules I'm using come from my degree in Photographic Technology from Dakota County Technical College in Rosemount, MN. We learned to remember these strategies in composition through the mnemonic device: "Save the last beer for me." Over the years, I've added "please" to the end.
Save: Simplicity - The: Thirds - Last: Lines - Beer: Balance - For: Framing - Me: Mergers - Please: Perspective
After an additional degree in Communication Studies, Wellness Coach training, personal growth through therapy for trauma recovery, and learning with people from a variety of cultural backgrounds, I've incorporated my own insights to connect the wellness component and a create deeper storytelling element.
