Photo Chalk Talk - Shinjuku Gardens

Written By Scott Davenport

In this video, I share a behind the scenes look at the thought process for crafting one of my images. I’ll call it a “chalk talk”. I mark up the photo as I discuss how I will approach processing the scene. I know this video is a little different than my usual ones. Let me know what you think!
