Diffuse photography guide update: Book writing is going very well. This second chapter is a very intense and meaningful foundation upon which the remainder of the book is to be based. Expecting to release the second chapter this month. Here is a brief excerpt: As human beings we look for meaning in all things. The visual clues we give in our photographs create meaning to the viewer. Even if there originally is none. It is important that we are aware and make good use of the clues we include in, or exclude from our photography. Subtle changes can make a big difference. Consider portraiture. It’s all about the eyes in a portrait. We are instinctively drawn to the eyes of a subject, we read them and follow them. The eyes tell us the subjects emotion, direction of interest, and state of mind. Looking into the camera creates an intense connection with the viewer on a personal level, while looking away suggests distraction, inability or unwillingness to connect, or interest elsewhere, leading the viewer to seek that point of interest. Posture tells a story about the person. Posture must be genuine and true to the situation. In real life about 80% of our communication is visual. In a photo, 100% of a subjects communication is visual. Every thing from the eyes to the fingers and position of the feet tells the viewer something about the subject.
