SUMMARY
A photographer with four decades of experience shares how their approach has evolved from shooting commercially for publications to a more personal creative pursuit. Initially focused on iconic landscapes and landmarks for travel articles, the artist realized that familiar, popular views often lead to uninspired photography. Now, the focus is on discovering and capturing 'quieter' images and overlooked details, whether in famous locations or on one's own street, prioritizing personal interest over broad appeal.
