The primary question of visual philosophy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the worth of an image. And why are visual art works important? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why visual art?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It seems in today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s world with smartphones and screens, visual trumps all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are addicted to images. Why? Visual communication is far more primal than reading, and we can \u00e2\u20ac\u0153read\u00e2\u20ac\u009d images<\/a> far faster than we can read text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is exciting. It means we have so many new opportunities as visual artists!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do images make you feel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My notion of a good image is an image which strengthens, simplifies, and motivates you to live more, move more, and make more of your own artwork!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photographs are all subjective <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even though the camera is accurate an image-capturing tool, it never tells the full \u00e2\u20ac\u0153truth\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All photographs are subjective. The purpose of photos isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t to tell the truth. The purpose of photos is to communicate a message or feeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why I love visual artwork<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To me, visual imagery is endlessly fascinating. Just as soon as I think I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve \u00e2\u20ac\u0153got\u00e2\u20ac\u009d it\u00e2\u20ac\u201d I realize there is still so much to learn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Thus, trying to figure out what makes good compositions, and what makes an image move you \u00e2\u20ac\u201d this is my endless quest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What do you desire your viewers to get from your images?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re sharing your photos with others, ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What do you want your viewers to take away from your images?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      Do you want your viewers to discover more beauty and inspiration from your images? Do you want your viewers to praise you? Do you care if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re praised or not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How many people do you desire to consume your images? Who is your ideal audience? Do you want 100 viewers, 1,000 viewers, 10,000 viewers, 100,000 viewers, a million viewers, or more? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This is something you must determine for yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
