Tall Grass Prairie. The connection between land and sky is dynamic, with a constant give and take. The morning air was cool the sunlight was warm. The breeze carried the smell of grass and bison. The stillness was quiet with the noise of being alive.
For me, photography is a process of connections. While out photographing I give myself time to be present in a place in a moment. In-camera, I work on the image, refining the composition and distilling the most important elements in the scene.
In post-processing I reexamine the image, thinking of when I captured it and what I experienced at the time. As I work towards my previsualized idea, I take into account any changes I may have noted while capturing it. I will step away giving myself time to get used to the changes I’ve made. This lets me make sure the image is moving in the direction I intended.
After post-processing is complete, the photo is ready to be displayed either digitally or printed. It is now time for me to step away, allowing the image to speak for itself.
