WORKING TO A THEME There are five major benefits of conceptualising and photographing to a theme. MORE HERE steveparish-natureconnect.au/photography-centre/15801/ 1 Photographic montage is one. By shooting a series of images of one place at one time under similar lighting conditions you will be able to montage or collage your images (tight and loose shots) as one stunning mosaic. 2 Technical skills can be dramatically improved when you rework a subject repeatedly, I have proved this to myself time and time again. The skills developed through one experience can be used in future shoots. 3 The reality of commercial value when collecting a “story of pictures” should not be overlooked. To research and experience your “story” in-depth may also inspire you to write a book or an article about it. The pleasure received from engaging in a landscape is where the spiritual reward comes in. I cut my teeth on seasonal change when I did an eight-season series of trips to Kakadu in the early 1970s. So seasons can be a theme. 4 As your collection grows, you will find the photographs have a greater value in terms of choice and what you are able to offer for commercial sale.
