The soul of the photographer: the essence of the photographer. How the photographer sees the world (their perspective<\/a>), their aesthetic and ethical<\/a> choices, their subject matter, and their personal philosophy<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The mortal soul <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe in an immortal soul \u00e2\u20ac\u201d I believe in a mortal soul (a soul which dies when you die). Thinking of the soul from more of a scientific and Aristotle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s perspective<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u201d the soul as the psyche<\/a>, or the life-force essence of a human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photos you decide to make showcase your soul, being, and perspective. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
