Hi!
I’m curious about how many of you photographers write about your photos. I’ve got a specific reason for asking this.
Over the last few years my taste in what I photograph has changed quite a bit. I couldn’t find a thread through the images for quite a while, until I pulled a few out from a couple-month span and wrote about them. It was super useful for me, helping me realize what I was getting drawn to, and that in turn helped me focus my work going forward.
I’m curious if any of you write about your work too. Please tell me about it!
And please drop a link to the writing below if it’s public. I’d be down to give it a look.
Cheers!
I don’t necessarily write about the photos. I shoot a fairly niche subject, and I hike/travel some to go out and get my shots. Every time I come home and dump my photos or “flicks” (hint), I do as long a write up as it takes to describe my little day long adventure, the weather, maybe set the mood and add a little color/humor.
I’ve done this for years, and when I decided to put out my first photo book, I used those write ups in my books.
