Part 3: Creative Captures and Post-Processing
Now that we have a foundation based on the ideas discussed in Parts 1 and 2, we can venture deeper into the psychology of shooting and post-processing images. This section will explore how some of the well-known psychological theories about artists and the creative process apply to photographers, including photographers who aren’t necessarily interested in being an “artist.” How do we realize our goals for the images we create, and learn to enrich our appreciation of the visual experience? Let's think about the right and wrong way to do things, and when we shouldn't worry about that distinction. I'll discuss practical ideas, as well as present some creative exercises and techniques.
