The Soul of the Photographer
The soul of the photographer: the essence of the photographer. How the photographer sees the world (their perspective), their aesthetic and ethical choices, their subject matter, and their personal philosophy.
The mortal soul
I don’t believe in an immortal soul — I believe in a mortal soul (a soul which dies when you die). Thinking of the soul from more of a scientific and Aristotle’s perspective— the soul as the psyche, or the life-force essence of a human.
The photographer embeds themself into their photos
You’re more important than your photos. Your photos are a reflection of you, you aren’t a reflection of your photos. This means:
The photos you decide to make showcase your soul, being, and perspective.
Thus the goal isn’t to make “better”photos, but instead to more clearly communicate and embed your soul into your photographs!
Breathe life into your photos
Soul as breath. Blow life into your photos! This means:
- Animate your photos: Dynamic movement in your photos.
- Display your personal aesthetic choices in your photos.
- Photograph that which is personal to you.
