    How asking “What do I see?” can transform your photography
    Jun 9 2025
    In this episode, I talk about the importance of really seeing when I’m out photographing. I also discuss a self-exploration exercise I’ve been practicing—asking myself, “What do I see?”—to help me notice more in my images.

  • Working with the mundane in your photography

    Working with the mundane in your photography
    Jun 2 2025
    In this week’s episode of The Perceptive Photographer, I explored something that doesn’t always get the love it deserves—mundane photography. You know, the kind of work that isn’t flashy or dramatic. It's not towering landscapes or intense street moments. It's ferns on the forest floor. The corner of a quiet room. The way sunlight hits the sink at 3 p.m.

  • Ep 533 Understanding the why of your visual narratives in editing & sequencing

    Ep 533 Understanding the why of your visual narratives in editing & sequencing
    May 26 2025
    In this episode of The Perceptive Photographer, I dive into the relationship between form and content in photography, especially when editing and sequencing a body of work. While a photo might carry personal meaning for me, I know it doesn’t inherently hold that story for the viewer—it’s their interpretation that brings it to life. That’s why I encourage photographers to critically assess what’s included and excluded in the frame to better communicate their intent.

  • Episode 532 How can embracing more of your irrationality over your rationality enhance your photography?

    Episode 532 How can embracing more of your irrationality over your rationality enhance your photography?
    May 19 2025
    In this episode of The Perceptive Photographer, I explore the balance between the rational (exceptions) and irrational (creativity) sides of photography. Great work emerges when we combine our technical skills with personal instincts, vulnerability, and a willingness to take creative risks. Over time, this blend leads to wisdom—an ability to create images that are not only well-crafted but deeply meaningful.

    Talking about Robert Frank and The Americans
    May 12 2025
    In this episode, we dive into The Americans, Robert Frank’s groundbreaking photo book that reshaped the way we think about documentary and street photography. Over the course of 10,000 miles, 28,000 images he selected a core 83 images that cut through the facade of 1950s to reveal a country grappling with race, isolation, and inequality. When it was released it ultimately influenced generations of photographers to come.

  • Discussing the power of “just one more thing” in your photography

    Discussing the power of “just one more thing” in your photography
    May 5 2025
    In the latest episode of The Perceptive Photographer, I found myself thinking about Steve Jobs. You know that classic moment in his presentations when he'd pause, turn back, and say, “Oh, just one more thing…”? It was his signature move—something small that ended up being hugely impactful. And it got me thinking about photography. That idea—just one more thing—has stuck with me. It’s become a way to look and critique my own work, and in this week’s podcast, I dig into how paying attention to one more detail, one more adjustment, one more question can fundamentally shift the power and clarity of a photograph. That “one more thing” doesn’t always mean doing more. Sometimes it’s about refining. Sometimes it’s about taking something away.

  • Thinking about print size can change your approach

    Thinking about print size can change your approach
    Apr 21 2025
    In this episode of the Perceptive Photographer podcast, I dive into the fascinating topic of print sizes in photography and how they impact the way we perceive images. Even if you mostly share your work digitally, I believe it’s important to consider how print size influences the viewing experience. From the intimacy of small prints to the immersive nature of large ones, the size of a photograph plays a powerful role in how it's received. I also share details about an upcoming print workshop and encourage you to explore making physical prints to build a deeper connection with your work. This episode is a thoughtful look at how print size shapes our experience and appreciation of photography.
