The topic of interest I selected focuses on the subject of photography. I always hear a good picture is all in the "photographer's eye". I plan to define what this phrase means, from not only my perspective but from other photographer's as well. As an active student and enthusiast of photography I feel it is most appropriate for me to cover a topic of this genre.
Since I've become more serious in photography I have learned to appreciate varying tastes of both photographer's and non-photographer's. With so many things to photograph, more creative ideas we can learn from one another can flourish. Photography enables me to express my creative side, as well as appreciate the the art of photography even more.
Today, the internet makes it easy for us to narrow our personal preferences as much as we want to. This convenient tool for filtering out the things we think we don't like also potentially has consequences. If we never exposed ourselves to other things besides what we thought we liked, our interests would always be narrow, eliminating any opportunity to expand intellectually.
The photographer's eye supports a diverse outlook on our world today. What may be aesthetically unpleasing to one person, may be eye candy to someone else. This idea supports a culture that continues to diversify itself in so many areas. My hope is that in the process of researching and writing on photography's interpretive elements I also will learn something new about my photographer's eye.
I'd love to hear more about the "Photographer's Eye." I get why it's an important and interesting topic to you, but offer a bit more for your novice readers (present company included). Why should we care and why should we continue reading?
