Photograph Ideas, Not Just Places And Things f/84

The Stop Down Photography Podcast

We all start our photo journey capturing things and places. Flowers, mountains, animals, your hometown, a city you are visiting. We photograph nouns. And that’s normal and part of the process of finding out what we enjoy photographing, the subjects and scenes that make us want to pick up our camera again and again.

Yet, when I look at the work of other photographers, the images that I find most interesting are photographs that convey ideas. I’ve noticed this in my own work as well. These images have staying power. They are more than just well-arranged subjects in a strong composition. The image conveys a story for sure, and also an idea, a feeling. The photo is more than the sum of its parts.

In this podcast, let’s talk about capturing ideas with our cameras, not just places and things.
