Send us a textWelcome to TOG TALK, where we dive into the heart of photographic expression.In this episode, we embark on a fascinating exploration of the photographer's mind, investigating why some naturally gravitate toward technical mastery while others flourish in creative expression. Through engaging discussions (some of them quite hysterical!) with my co-host - commercial photographer Kelly Perrin, we examine the influences that have tremendous impact on the type of photographers we are.We delve deep into the psychological and developmental factors that create "technical" versus "creative" photographers. Drawing from years of teaching experience at Hampshire School of Photography, we share insights into how childhood experiences, professional background, and even brain hemisphere dominance might influence a photographer's natural inclinations.Our conversation delves into the fascinating journey that shapes each photographer's unique approach to their craft. We explore the various influences and experiences that mould our perspective, technical abilities, and creative vision.Listen to this week’s Tog Talk to discover the factors that might have influenced your own photographic style.Join us as we challenge assumptions about whether these tendencies are fixed or fluid, and discover how photographers can develop both technical prowess and creative vision, regardless of their starting point. Through real-world examples and personal stories, we illuminate the path to becoming a well-rounded photographer who can seamlessly blend technical excellence with creative inspiration.Whether you identify as a "numbers person" who loves the technical aspects of photography or a "creative soul" who shoots from the heart, this episode offers valuable insights into understanding and expanding your photographic approach.Photography MasterclassAdd the time of recording this episode, I have just one place left on the forthcoming Photography Masterclass.  Masterclass is a one year (in person) course starting in January running till the end of the year.
