Cognitive Friction to Help Your Gaze Grow
Perception is the cognitive process through which we receive information and form an image of reality. When we perceive a photograph, we go through two phases: reception and interpretation.
Photography as an Opportunity
A photograph is where the interests and desires of the viewer intersect, and these are just as important for the person taking the photo as they are for the viewer. Sometimes, the message aligns, and sometimes, it does not. That is why photography, rich in meaning for both the photographer and the viewer, is always an OPPORTUNITY.
Diane Arbus and Fear
If your worst fear took a human form, what would it look like? Working with fear through photography is a creative task.
The Importance of Visual Culture in Improving Your Photographs
Visual education should be incorporated and emphasized from the beginning in all schools. It should be included alongside the study of literature, history, or mathematics. In language studies, we learn grammar first. In photography, we must learn visual grammar.
Photography and Meditation by Cesar Cerón
La meditación y la fotografía tienen en común más de lo que en principio podríamos pensar: ambas ponen el foco en el momento presente, ambas exigen el más alto grado de conciencia, y ambas proporcionan mejores resultados cuando la mente está vacía y libre de distracciones y de influencias externas.
