Son Of A Shameless Plug

Venerable photographer and writer Paul Indigo has once again hit the spot with an interesting article. It's a sequel to an article I previously mentioned as such I'm drawing attention to it. Once again it has a nice focus on the importance of non-technical aspects of designing and creating strong images.

The first essay was about designing images that work. The follow up is about more advanced composition and how to plan advanced design concepts into an image.

I include the image on the left as it illustrates the use of lead lines as described in Paul's second article. This concept was first introduced to me by professional photographer Magda Indigo some years ago.

Shameless Plug

Veteran photographer and professional writer Paul Indigo has written two excellent articles recently. I thought I would highlight them here due to their excellent content. What sets them apart in my mind is the focus they have on the importance of non-technical aspects of creating a great image. An image with meaning and emotional content rather than a snapshot or a dry technical exercise. This is something that is often overlooked in art, design and photography.

The first is an article on conveying emotion in an image.
The second is an essay about designing images that work.

Both are recommend reading.

Appreciating Photography

Just a quick note to say professional photographer Paul Indigo posted a rather nice article on appreciating photography. It can be found in Paul's January 15th blog. I certainly think its worth a read.
