Is photography too easy nowadays?
in journal
Digital cameras have made photography much easier, faster, and accessible to everyone. But not everyone thinks this is necessarily good. Let's talk about why photography can be too easy, why it probably shouldn't, and how to keep it engaging enough that we don't get bored in the long term.

This one is quickly becoming one of my favorite trees around town.
A slightly different take on a familiar scene, this time using a wide angle lens to make the subject bigger in relation to the background.

aows #41: On timing over location and subject
in journal
The latest issue of my newsletter is out: aows #41, on timing over location and subject.
This time, I talk about the recent blizzard we had here, and the concept I touched in the video: why many times the when is more important than the what in photography.

The calm during the storm
in photographs
Galicia, April 2022.
I found this composition during the recent blizzard we had around here. At that moment, the scene was clear, and I was capturing distracting elements in the frame besides the building and the rock.
I thought that was the best I could do in the field, and that I'd have to work the image in post to get rid of the distractions. Luckily for me, nature gave me a hand in the form of a cloud that created some beautiful foggy conditions for a few minutes. Enough for me to capture the scene with just the two elements I wanted to show.
Apartment tree

Galicia, April 2022.
I took lots of pictures of this tree over the three days I got to spend up in the mountains, waiting for the snowstorm to hit.
And as it usually goes, the best image came at the very last day, at the very last minute. Just when the snow stopped, and the fog came.

A blizzard in spring: why timing trumps location in photography
in journal
The winter was over; or so I thought. A rare spring blizzard hit the mountains of Galicia, in NW Spain, and being just an hour away, I couldn't miss it. Because in photography, timing always trumps location and subject. An incredible couple of days spent in the snow, a time I used to make tons of images.
