Sharon Tenenbaum asks What’s stopping you from creating great art?
There are photographs then there are great photographs. Imagine the greatest one you’ve seen.
Its uniqueness compels unlike anything else. It is beautiful, not functional. An image created from elements barely relational: reflections, glances, abstracted form — metaphor.
According to award winning fine art photographer Sharon Tenenbaum the answer resides in how we think.
Tenenbaum has spent years researching how the brain functions and now wishes to share how this understanding will improve your photography.
The basic formulation is simple. Our brain is divided into two spheres. The left and right. Each side controls the opposite side of the body, but more importantly, each side controls different aspects of how we think.
The right side thinks in pictures and is always in the present moment. It is the sensual and creative side. The left thinks in sequences and always worrying about the past or future. It is the logical and reasonable side.
Unfortunately, we have become a left-centric society. And according to Tenenbaum, we need to tap into both in order to create great photography.
My Intention is to give you a deeper understanding of what is going on in your subconscious mind when you look at the world. How the two hemispheres of your brain think differently, how they interoperate the visual world differently, and how that applies to art. Understanding these differences will help you develop and cultivate tools that will assist you to consciously see the world differently.. Sharon Tenenbaum
Instead of focusing on color tones and post-processing (which Tenenbuam accurately describes as icing on the cake), this engrossing study of how our two hemispheres interpret the world will help you improve on your intuitive compositional skills.
The ebook will teach you how each mode operates, and how each side understands the spatial relations around you.
For example, you’ll finally know why leading lines that move from left to right are generally considered more pleasing. Or why lines that are horizontal make an image feel more grounded and comforting.
With these understandings and many more, you will able to transfer the powers of one side of thinking onto the other and help you create visual “metaphors”.
Or as Tenenbaum calls them: images born from remote association + symphonic thinking. Remember the equipment is objective, what you see is not.
The ultimate goal, of course, is to create a balance of thinking that will help you give a fresh look at every subject you photograph. Help you create honest and original images that express who you are.
