What the Works of Great Painters Can Teach You About Photography.
We all often examine the work of other photographers, professionals, and the best in our field to capture and absorb at least a part of their skill, so we can apply it later in our own pictures. Let’s try extending our study of the great works one step farther outwards, to painting. What can painters’ great works offer photographers?
LUNCH: May (maybe)

Historical buildings, ancient spaces, statues, and structures have one major disadvantage for photographers. Since many people have photographed them before you there is a challenge to find an original take on them. So, look around inside/outside of the building for small details. Here is a link and hundreds of photographs of Rutherford House.
