Eric Bennett Photography – Mindset: "Immersion": I've curated this audio series to help ignite your creative spark before embarking on your photography journey. Through thoughts, lessons, exercises, and techniques shared in these chapters, you'll be encouraged to think more creatively, explore photographic possibilities, and see the potential in every landscape, lighting condition, and weather variation.
While I've authored numerous articles and recorded tutorial videos covering various aspects of nature photography, it's often challenging to find time to absorb this information amidst the busyness of daily life. Moreover, the constraints of modern life mean that we usually spend a significant portion of our photography time commuting between locations where reading articles or watching videos isn't feasible.
Recognizing this, I saw an opportunity to utilize this downtime to help you transition into a creative mindset even before you reach your destination. By providing prompts and insights to ponder on your way to the trailhead, I aim to prime your mind for photography, making you more receptive to potential scenes and photographic opportunities. My goal is to encourage you to break out of your creative comfort zone, challenge conventional thinking, and inspire you with new ideas to create unique, meaningful, and expressive photographs with your gear.
Whether embarking on a cross-country road trip or heading to a local spot for the afternoon, you can listen to one lesson at a time or go through the entire series. Regardless, the insights you gain will be fresh in your mind, ready to be applied in the field. Practising new techniques, experimenting with fresh ideas, and applying newfound knowledge are crucial for developing a deeper understanding of photography and ensuring these insights become ingrained in your creative process.
