As a student of all things photography in nature, I happened across the following items in my news feed today.
- Intentional Imperfection is the new aesthetic. As AI-generated images get “too perfect,” audiences are gravitating toward motion blur, grain, and messy framing. Authentic, obviously-human-made shots are getting more traction in editorial and gallery contexts.Hmm, does this mean I should take photos while I’m falling down go get “intentional imperfection?”
- Photo series beat single images. Galleries, social media, and editorial clients are favoring cohesive series and triptychs over single brilliant frames. Worth thinking about whether your wildlife and landscape work can be packaged as a series with a narrative thread.I do tend to send out a series rather than individual photos in general.
Here’s two photos from the weekend taken at Bowman Bay, Deception Pass State Park, Washington State USA

That’s a wrap for today!
Stay safe!
