Reflecting on Lecture 8 video clips

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

This week, I watched two videos which expanded my knowledge on photography styles and photo editing strategies.

The first video that I have watched is called ‘‘Defining a Style for your Photography’’. In this video, photographer Sean Tucker spoke about different styles of photography as well as the journey that he’s going through in order to discover his own. I feel like this video really reassured me in a sense that a style may only develop years after beginning your journey, it all takes practice, patience and dedication. Therefore, your own photography style is not something you should rush to discover.

Additionally, I liked how Tucker normalised not being able to take photographs on a specific day, be it an atmosphere that you don’t feel comfortable in, or a lack of motivation.

The second video that I have watched is called ‘‘How to Edit Colour and Create your own Style’’. I found this video very moving in a way that Tucker speaks about publishing photographs while being colour blind. What I learned and found really inspiring, is that although we may have specific restrictions in our lives, there’s a way we can work around them and continue on with doing the things that we enjoy.
