Learn, Grow and Express yourself
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
Nelson Mandela
Is your photography moving forward and changing over time?
A great example is a comparison between two composers you might have heard of JS Bach and Beethoven. The last pieces of music they composed were very different in their appeal to their respective audiences. Bach was sometimes described as “the voice of God in human form” because of the sublime melody and counterpoint he wrote. Bach, was the greatest writer of organ fugue which by the time of his death in 1750 had gone out of fashion. In the four years following his demise, his publisher had sold less than 40 copies of his final masterwork on the art and composition of the fugue. Essentially a brilliant work but out of style and date with its potential audience.
Beethoven on the other hand, a completely deaf old man, his last four string quartets are still groundbreaking 200 years after his death. Music had not been known like this before in its daring progressions, modulations and discords. As a young man, Beethoven was influenced by Mozart among others, that influence quickly faded, allowing Beethoven to completely transform the art of music. This cannot be said of many composers. He found his own voice and did not follow the traditions of his predecessors, Mozart and Handel.
If you want your photography to be different or better then you have to decide to think and do things differently. No one is going to do your thinking for you. The only way your pictures will change is for you to add new information to your skills base. What was it that Einstien said, “don’t do the same and expect a different result”. The same input produces the same output.
Here some opportunities to change the way you think and do your photography differently or better
