Briefing on his workshop, University of Miami art professor, fine art photographer, and Cooper fellow J. Tomas Lopez remarked, "I just ended the workshop where I spoke about the winners of this year's contest, and what I talked about was form, content, subject matter, and function." And the topic of discussion turned to how to interpret a picture. If you're trying to figure out how to approach an image, what are some tips for handling its formal aspects and subject matter? I explained the significance of the image and its effect on the viewer.
"Consider honing your knowledge of camera settings and lenses before shifting your focus to the things in life that really inspire you."
The biggest piece of advice I can give to any aspiring photographer is to capture the world through the lens through which they see it and the emotions through which they feel it.
For an optimal experience, please
