Artistic Concepts and Processes

We all know what an essay is, right? We've all had experience in school writing one or, at least, reading one--a short, opinionated writing about a specific subject. However, there is an alternative definition, one we often don't consider --an initial attempt or endeavor. It is vital for us to create without being afraid to fail, essayer as the French put it, to attempt. In doing so we become more familiar with a process or technique and eventually, with enough attempts, we can become experts.

The Dandelion's Mission and Studio Photography

Event photography can be stressful. The pressure is on the shooter to adapt to a strange and, in most cases, non-ideal situation—whether the lighting is atrocious, the people difficult to work with, too much green, too much red. The photographer must be quick to change settings, knowing what controls will best capture the scene. And often times the photographer must simply choose the best among a set of photos instead of having the time to shoot the best photos.

Then there's studio photography.

Pretty simple: set up your subjects, light them appropriately, shoot until you get the image you want, make millions. You can take your time when you're working in a studio setting.

And I love taking my time.
