In critiques people always ask you why you made the images you did.
I find that to be kind of a shit question though.
Making images is somewhat subconscious and closer to brushing your teeth daily than it is to painting.
At least for me I don’t always want to be thinking while I’m shooting.
Yes you can plan the images you want to make but it’s the repetition of making images that sharpens your eyes.
The “why” doesn’t always come about before the images are made sometimes that happens once you put the images together.
