The Cycle Of Artistic Improvement f/65

Our paths as artists, as visual storytellers, is not a straight path. There are switchbacks, detours, pauses, and backtracking as we forge ahead on our quest to become stronger photographers. Yet there is a repeated pattern to our learning, a cycle of artistic improvement.

This idea of a cycle of artistic improvement crystalized for me while assembling the chapters of a new video course I’ll be releasing later this month. In this episode, I talk about the cycle of improvement. There are four phases of the cycle: Capture, Analyze, Express, and Reflect. Like phases of the moon, there is no beginning or end, the pattern is circular and we don’t get to take one lap around the track and call it good!
