    Exploring the Visual Language of Photographs
    Dec 23 2024
    In this episode of the Perceptive Photographer podcast, we are going to dig a little deeper into the visual language of photography. Before we jump into our topic, I did want to let you know if the energy is a little off it is due to some recent struggles with medication and anxiety, which are hopefully getting resolved. As we jump into our topic, there is a connection between how understanding visual elements—similar to nouns, verbs, and adjectives in language—can enhance our photographic work. Over the course of the episode I hope you get more interested in reading and analyzing your images through this framework. From it you might be surprised how much better you can articulate intentions and emotions in the image. I also hope you have a wonderful and joyful holiday season.
