  • HT2215 - No One Cares About Our Plans
    HT2215 - No One Cares About Our Plans It's a fairly common thing in photography to hear a photographer talk about what they are going to do. They haven't done it yet, but they announce to the world they are about to do it — as though we are supposed to care about their plans. Don't tell people what you are planning to do; tell them what you've actually done, accomplished, finished. That's the only thing that counts in the art world.

  • HT2214 - Every Work of Art Has a Title
    HT2214 - Every Work of Art Has a Title I mean that. Every sculpture, every painting, every poem, every novel, every song — they all have titles. So why do we photographers think "Untitled" is a reasonable title? Is our imagination that limited, or are we just lazy?

  • LW1447 - Limited Editions
    LW1447 - Limited Editions Years ago, after showing my work to a gallery owner, I was thrilled when she said she loved my work and would like to represent me. It was a lifelong dream come true. She then insisted, however, that I limit my editions as a prerequisite to her representation. I passed. Mechanically, there is no limit on how many "copies" you can make. This is especially true in the age of digital printing. No one knows how many you actually make unless you publicize that. A designation like 1/50 does not mean you have made 50 prints. Who benefits from limited editions? All previous episodes of our weekly podcast are available to members of LensWork Online. 30-day Trial Memberships are only $10.

  • HT2213 - The Size of the Print, the Size of the Paper
    HT2213 - The Size of the Print, the Size of the Paper In my first photography class we were taught to leave a quarter inch white space all the way around our images. If we printed on 8x10 paper, the actual area of the image would be seven and a half by nine and a half inches. As my thinking about this has evolved over the years, I now leave space around the image that creates a mat board-like margin on all sides. In practice, this means I print 8x10s on 11x14 paper, 11x14 images on 16x20 paper, etc.

  • HT2212 - Postal Code Titles
    HT2212 - Postal Code Titles One of my favorite photographers is Jay Dusard. A number of years ago we were preparing to publish a portfolio of his in LensWork and I had sent him proof pages to approve. He immediately got back to me and asked me to change the abbreviations I used in his titles, for example AZ as compared to Arizona. He explained "AZ is not a location, it's a postal code." If we're truly interested titling our prints with accuracy, perhaps we should include the ZIP code in our titles?

About LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process

Random Observations on Art, Photography, and the Creative Process. These talks focus on the creative process in fine art photography. LensWork editor Brooks Jensen side-steps techno-talk and artspeak to offer a stimulating mix of ideas, experience, and observations from his 50 years as a fine art photographer, writer, and publisher. Topics include a wide range of subjects from finding subject matter to presenting your work, and building an audience. Included in this RSS Feed are the LensWork Podcasts — posted weekly, typically 10-20 minutes exploring a topic a bit more deeply — and our almost daily Here's a thought… audios (extracted from the videos.) Here's a thought… are snippets, fragments, morsels, and tidbits from Brooks' fertile (and sometimes swiss-cheesy) brain. Usually just a minute or two. Always about photography and the art life. Brooks Jensen is the publisher of LensWork, one of the world's most respected and award-winning photography publications, known for its museum-book quality printing and luxurious design. LensWork has subscribers in over 73 countries. He is the author of 13 books on photography and the creative life -- the latest books are The Best of the LensWork Interviews (2016), Photography, Art, and Media (2016), and the four annual volumes of Seeing in SIXES (2016-2019).
