Before a camera is even touched much of the hard work of photography is done. The elements that make a photograph – those of location finding, pre-visualising, composing and planning – all come before a lens is fitted. The only equipment needed for these crucial steps are a pair of photographer’s eyes. Training those eyes to see potential in a location, envisaging how a scene could look, appreciating the nuances of light, motion, colour, perspective and composition, is what photography is all about. Developing that vision is a journey that never ends.
David Noton, Waiting for the Light
I understand this statement as a photographer. I can translate that sense of vision into how I dance. Just how to engender that sense of vision in others, I don’t know.
