I really enjoyed this post, which has two big subject areas. Very thought-provoking! I use my primes more and more, and wrestle with the issue of perspective versus framing all the time - well put! I hope you continue to post thoughts like this.
The other subject you opened, how to use our back catalog in unexpected ways long after the original shoot is also important. I’m grappling with that issue, too! You might discuss this subject in its own series of posts.
I am thinking where to start because I wrestle with this far more than one would imagine. I am in my wheelhouse when shooting people somewhere between 3ft to 10ft, that has been my universe for 40 or more years. Everything outside of that I am a complete newb.
The images got me thinking about possibilities for creating collections based on tone. Perhaps a warm tone only further selected by image color palette consistency or by compatibility (complimentary dominant colors between images). The "softness" of your inverted reflections encouraged attention to image features beyond what might have been a more typical subject.
This is a VERY good idea. I started a long time ago using keywords in my library when an image had an "overall" color palette or a neutral palette with only one stand out color. IE Red, blue, pink, etc.
I’ll need to reread this several times over and then test it out. A lot to think about and time to explore. The issue on new perspectives on old mages and imperfect light is haunting my brain right now so it’s a relevant question expected article.
