  • Learning to Trust Your Eye

    Learning to Trust Your Eye
    Oct 6 2025
    In this episode of the Perceptive Photographer podcast, I explore what it means to trust your own eye. Like learning to read and write, photography requires more than technical skill. Making a photograph is not the same as understanding one. By paying attention to what draws us in, moving through doubt, and listening to our instincts, we begin to see more clearly and develop a personal, authentic way of seeing the world through the camera.

  • What I don’t know may mean more than what I do know

    What I don’t know may mean more than what I do know
    Sep 29 2025
    n Episode 551 of The Perceptive Photographer, I explore how what I don’t know often means more than what I do in my photography. Instead of trying to control every detail or follow every rule, I’ve learned to embrace uncertainty. Leaving out elements, breaking the “rules,” and allowing space for discovery can lead to stronger images and deeper connections. Viewers bring their own stories, and that gap between intention and perception is where the magic happens. By trusting the unknown, I create work that feels more authentic, surprising, and meaningful.

    The role of quiet or silence in our photographic practice
    Sep 22 2025
    In this podcast episode, the importance of silence in photography is explored. Embracing quiet helps us be present, notice details, and connect with subjects. By slowing down and inviting stillness, we can make more intentional choices and deepen our photographic practice. Where can you invite more silence in your work?

  • Which story telling structure do you use in your photography?

    Which story telling structure do you use in your photography?
    Sep 8 2025
    We often talk about “telling a story” in photography. But when you look closer, a single image may only hold part of the story: the introduction, the climax, or maybe the resolution. In this week’s podcast, I explore how frameworks like Freytag’s Pyramid, the Hero’s Journey, and Pixar’s methods can inspire us to think differently about our photographs and how they connect with others.

  • How spicy can you handle?

    How spicy can you handle?
    Sep 1 2025
    In this episode, I talk with you about finding the right balance in your photography, or what I call your creative “spice level.” Based on a trip out for Thai food, I share how important it is to challenge yourself enough to stay engaged, but not so much that you feel overwhelmed. I also touch on the value of honest self-reflection and community, and let you know about some opportunities, like my Meaningful Image Workshop and the Lightroom Virtual Summit. Thanks for being part of this community and listening in as we explore the ups and downs of the creative process together.
