It\u2019s not something I recommend  you actually do, but answering the question, hard as it is, is always  very revealing. Identifying one image that most embodies your vision  helps clarify your visual identity. List the strengths of this image.  It\u2019s likely these strengths will be present in a majority of your  work. These core strengths often provide a foundation you can rely upon  and develop further to make your work even stronger. These qualities  can also be used to identify your particular passions and concerns.  After you identify the image, ask yourself why you chose it. Did you  choose an image because it fits other people\u2019s criteria of success?  Did you choose an image that has a particular relevance to your personal  history? Did you choose an image that evokes a powerful emotion? Did  you choose an image that symbolically represents something important  to you? Strike up a dialog with your work. You\u2019ll get to know your  work and yourself even better.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Identify the Core \u201cIf you had to eliminate all of your images save one, which one image would you keep?\u201d This is a question I frequently ask my students and myself.
