The Heart of the Photograph

In a change to our programme we have a pre-recorded talk “The Heart of the Photograph” by David Du Chemin, an award winning photographer, author and presenter.

The talk is based on his book “The Heart of the Photograph”.  In David’s words :-

  • I wrote The Heart of the Photograph to explore what it means to think like a photographer. To think more creatively about line and light and moments, and to more boldly explore the use of other tools as well—devices like juxtaposition, depth, visual mass, framing, mood, mystery, scale, balance, and tension. These are the tools we use in the photographs themselves to give the subject its best expression, to give it its best shot at clearly and powerfully saying what you want the image to say.If we change the way we think by asking ourselves better questions in the creative process, we change how we make photographs, becoming not only be more intentional but also more intuitive, so that those moments of grace—when it’s all coming together so beautifully—happen more often. Using a camera isn’t hard work, but thinking like a photographer is a longer journey. I’m hoping The Heart of the Photograph will make that journey a little less circuitous for you, and get you closer to the heart of what you love about this craft and the photographs you make.
