I have a set of 3 questions to help me get unstuck when I’m in the field:
What do I want to say?
How do I effectively say it?
Why is one writing technique preferred over another to deliver my message?
I learned this approach to storytelling from writing. A writer asks these key questions as they work on their piece, whether it’s creative writing, a screenplay, or even educational or technical writing. The story arc needs to be there to effective get your message across to the reader.
It’s similar for photographers - we are visual storytellers. When I’m stuck in the field, I use these questions to get unstuck. In this episode of The Stop Down Photography Podcast, I talk about these questions and examples of how you can use them when you are stuck in the field, trying to find the best story the landscape has to share.
Studio News
In studio news, I have finished writing and editing the next edition of ON1 Photo RAW Essentials. It is off to the indexer (yes, the print edition gets an index!) and the eBook is on track to release in mid-December. The print book will follow a few weeks after the eBook.
