HT2389 - How Long to Finish
It's not uncommon that our artistic magnum opus requires a long gestation and is the results of possibly years of work. In addition to such substantial projects, there is tremendous benefit to completing small projects that require a few hours or a few days.

HT2388 - The Importance of Scale
HT2388 - The Importance of Scale
Some images look better when they are big prints. Some look better as small prints. Knowing the best scale for a print is an art in itself. Knowing the distance someone will be at when viewing our prints is an impossibility.

LW1472 - Treasuring Our Elders
LW1472 - Treasuring Our Elders
I started photography because of images. The aspect of photography that I didn't anticipate was its power to connect us to people, great people, wise people, sensitive people, artists with a camera. I treasure them all.

HT2387 - Migrant Mother PPI
HT2387 - Migrant Mother PPI
Is it fair to say that one of the most important and world-changing images from all of photographic history is Migrant Mother by Dorothea Lange? For our generation of photographers, it's good to remember that this amazing image first appeared as an 85 dpi image in newsprint. The same for W. Eugene Smith's Country Doctor, or Tomoko and Mother in the Bath. Same with Weston's My Camera on Point Lobos.

HT2386 - A Sense of Immediacy
HT2386 - A Sense of Immediacy
Regardless of the subject, when the objective is to connect with a viewer, immediacy and presence are important compositional goals. Curiously enough, these goals are obtained in entirely different ways depending on whether you use a wide angle or telephoto lens.

About LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process
Random Observations on Art, Photography, and the Creative Process. These talks focus on the creative process in fine art photography. LensWork editor Brooks Jensen side-steps techno-talk and artspeak to offer a stimulating mix of ideas, experience, and observations from his 50 years as a fine art photographer, writer, and publisher. Topics include a wide range of subjects from finding subject matter to presenting your work, and building an audience.
Included in this RSS Feed are the LensWork Podcasts — posted weekly, typically 10-20 minutes exploring a topic a bit more deeply — and our almost daily Here's a thought… audios (extracted from the videos.) Here's a thought… are snippets, fragments, morsels, and tidbits from Brooks' fertile (and sometimes swiss-cheesy) brain. Usually just a minute or two. Always about photography and the art life.
Brooks Jensen is the publisher of LensWork, one of the world's most respected and award-winning photography publications, known for its museum-book quality printing and luxurious design. LensWork has subscribers in over 73 countries. He is the author of 13 books on photography and the creative life -- the latest books are The Best of the LensWork Interviews (2016), Photography, Art, and Media (2016), and the four annual volumes of Seeing in SIXES (2016-2019).
