The creative photographer is forever finding new ways to interpret the world. Their photos capture things viewers may have never seen with their own eyes! Using the imagination, photographers can show viewers things that never existed. The photographer can dream up and create visual worlds that would never be possible if it weren’t for the remarkable capabilities of the human brain. It’s this potential readers instructor is trying to awaken in them when they give an assignment. Some artistic concepts require more elaborate planning, like building tableau scenes in the studio. Lori Nix would probably agree that, to realize a photographic vision, the readers will need sketches, building supplies, maybe a model or other photographic subjects, and a lot of time to carry out their plan. All the logistics, supplies, and equipment for the shoot need to be carefully considered ahead of time. Success for this kind of approach relies on comprehensive planning.
