This doesn&#8217;t only apply to interacting with people and animals. If you physically make contact with any subject, even inanimate objects, you&#8217;ll come to understand it better; its scale, texture, density and much more. You may even decide to make contact with more than your hands. Press your face up against a window. Step into the currents of swift-flowing waters. Lay down in shifting sands. Experience your subjects from many perspectives. Doing this will lead to many new ideas. It will also inform old ideas. As your understanding of your subjects grows, your images will take on new dimensions and new depths.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/creativity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find more resources on Creativity here.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/workshops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn more in my digital photography workshops.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To truly touch your viewers you may have to touch someone or something else first.
