Notes
Quiet direction in a portrait session
Small prompts for movement can create a more natural rhythm than long pose instructions.
Watching light before photographing a space
Noting shadow and use across the day helps determine the shooting order.
Editing from a contact sheet
Reading the sequence as a whole before enlarging frames reveals repetition and gaps.
Usage context in image delivery
Aspect ratio, crop room and caption data help an image be used correctly in publication.
Being close without becoming the event
Knowing the programme in advance makes the photographer’s movement calmer and more predictable.
A keyword system for a photo archive
Consistent place, person, project and rights metadata makes an archive reusable.
