Hi!

I’m curious about how many of you photographers write about your photos. I’ve got a specific reason for asking this.

Over the last few years my taste in what I photograph has changed quite a bit. I couldn’t find a thread through the images for quite a while, until I pulled a few out from a couple-month span and wrote about them. It was super useful for me, helping me realize what I was getting drawn to, and that in turn helped me focus my work going forward.

I’m curious if any of you write about your work too. Please tell me about it!

And please drop a link to the writing below if it’s public. I’d be down to give it a look.

Cheers!

    I’ve been wanting to start doing this. Not really to describe a photo specifically but to thread together a series of photos. Sort of like a digital/visual journal for myself. Mostly for events so it makes more sense rather than random single photos.

    I also want to practice this to get better in a photo journalism sort of way. Create a portfolio in a sense. Not really for anything at the moment. Just for myself.

      Writing as support for a series of photos, rather than describing individual photos, is closer to my own practice too.
