What we say about our photographs—how we describe them, interpret them, share them—can shape the work itself. After years spent in galleries and in conversation with collectors, I’ve learned that finding the words is more than an afterthought. It’s a creative act of its own.

Some images begin not with a plan, but with a feeling. Michelle Aronson reflects on photography as a personal practice—shaped by intuition, emotion, and the quiet process of learning to see more clearly.

Even after 25 years on the path, insecurity still surfaces—especially when it comes to sharing. But when we meet it with presence, it becomes part of the process, not a barrier to it.

Some of the most extraordinary images can’t be planned—they come when you trust your instincts. This is why intuition may be a photographer’s greatest tool, leading you to moments of magic and connection that go far beyond the frame.

Curiosity isn’t just about looking—it’s about seeing in a deeper, more intentional way. The more we engage with the world, the more it reveals itself to us. Light, texture, movement—each moment carries something waiting to be noticed. By training ourselves to observe with curiosity, we open the door to richer, more compelling photography.

Camera design has barely evolved in decades—but why? The Sigma BF challenges outdated conventions, proving that minimalism, materials, and intuitive function can redefine how a camera looks and operates.

Space in an image is not emptiness—it’s presence. It’s what allows a photograph to breathe, to resonate, to feel. By making deliberate choices about what to leave out, we create room for depth, emotion, and meaning. In this post, I explore how embracing space—both in photography and in life—can lead to more powerful, more intentional images.

What makes a photograph resonate isn’t how closely it mirrors reality—it’s how deeply it reflects you. Beyond what the eye sees lies something more: feeling, memory, and interpretation. The question is—how do you bring that into your images?

Whether you’re holding an iPhone or a $10,000 camera, the goal is the same—creating visual harmony. Your phone isn’t just a convenience—it’s a modern-day sketchbook, helping you frame ideas, capture details, and refine your vision before committing to the final shot.

Great images don’t come from luck—they come from showing up, again and again, even when nothing feels special. The more you practice, the more you see. And when the extraordinary appears, you’ll be ready.

What makes a photograph more than just a picture? For G.B. Smith, it’s about stripping away distractions to reveal something deeper. His black-and-white images invite us to slow down and truly see.

How simple can a photograph be before it loses its meaning? In this post, I explore the delicate balance between form and space in photography—and how making deliberate choices about what to include (and exclude) can lead to images that resonate more deeply.
