To go beyond the notion that the photographer is merely responsible for where they position their physical body — their relationship to the subject, the background, and the moment they press the shutter — is the question I am wrestling with.
And so what I’m starting to consider more deeply, and what I find to be the ultimate challenge, is to grapple with what exactly it is that is pulling you to position your physical body in relationship to the subject.
What is that desire?
What is calling your soul?
What is that inner spiritedness — that invisible pull — guiding you to the frontlines of life?
This is what I’m trying to understand.
