A Journey with the Photographic Mind


The photographic eye can perceive great compositions, notice patterns, find great light. But what of the photographic mind? The thoughts, the wishes, and the imagination - the idea of scenes dripping with the golden drops of sunlight? How does the photographic mind influence your style?

Over the next week, take a few moments periodically to think about that shot and why it works – why it touches your photographic mind and your human soul. Just put your camera down, look at the scene again, and try to mentally record as many interesting details as caught your eye. As a wildlife photographer, I like to imagine flycatchers on branches, marmosets in the trees, beetles on the leaves.
