I am constantly amazed at how you layer photos. You size it up so quickly. This is very helpful because it's something that doesn't come as easy to me. I love that you shared others' work. Thank you!
Nice to see photos from your students and the explanation about the layers. I like the picture in the metro with the woman’s face on the foreground and the focus on the name of the station. And by the way the music in the background of the video is awesome.
Very clear examples of the layer technique. I often let my own confusion of which subject to define most, and then lose the shot completely. These are great tips. I’ll bet your classes are chock full.
Thank you! It's of course subjective but I like to know a little about whats happening around the subject. Portraits can survive without much context but even there, I am personally a bigger fan of environmental portraits than ones with without.
Great tips, thank you Keith! I’ll even be more cognizant of layering now. What pops to mind is how quickly these techniques need to be used. When an image comes together it happens…NOW! So there is almost no time, at times, to think about layering. I would imagine that a photographer builds this skill so it can be used almost without thought.
She is a very inspiring artist. She works very hard at her craft. If you've ever worked with the colodian process or even just large format in general you know how challenging those processes are just to make an image let alone a compelling one and to go further, a number of different bodies of work. My oldest daughter barley lets me photographer her on the fly and Sally Mann got her whole family nude on 8x10 film. I have infinite respect.

TY. This is a good reminder that context helps with the subject.

I have no doubt you'll master it :)

Like driving and so many other seemingly difficult things it gets easier and more intuitive with intentional practice.
Photograph what you love and how it compels you when you see it. Sally Mann didn’t have to leave the house
