What the heck is this week's podcast about?

At the risk of repeating myself more than once in this podcast, I raise a question about the value of repetition in the photographic process. When we are working creativity is there something in the process that repetition can help with and at the same time can it hinder? As we explore this topic, I think you will quickly discover that much of what can cause problems for us photographically is an over-reliance on repetition.

Be it in how we frame and compose to setting up a new portfolio; there is something to be said about the negative impacts of been there and done that. In this week’s podcast, we take a look at the places where our photographic process can become stale from repetition and some ideas to help move beyond those often repeated traps.

In conversation with Jenny Hansen Das

n this episode, I’m joined by Seattle-based fine art photographer Jenny Hansen Das for a conversation about exceptions in photography and working with galleries. Jenny’s work blends analog and digital processes, with a focus on everyday moments presented in unexpected ways. She experiments with alternative techniques like cyanotypes and image transfers, creating handcrafted, one-of-a-kind pieces. She’s also the founder of The Seattle Light Room, a community darkroom and gallery in Seattle’s Seward Park neighborhood. Explore her portfolio at jennyhansendas.com, find her community darkroom at theseattlelightroom.com, and follow her on Instagram at @jennyhansendas and @theseattlelightroom.
