Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS)
June 14, 2006
When someone comes up to you and tells you about an experience they have, they use descriptive words that evoke memories, feelings, and pictures of things they have seen or experienced.
When you want to move your photography up a notch, when you want to move up from the average joe snapshots to the amazing shots you see on Flickr, you need to develope a visual thinking strategy.
A visual thinking strategy is how you go about learning about photography. It's taking the idea of learning more about taking good photos, and actually doing it. It's learning photography through your observations of the world around you, and through the things that interest you. As you fine tune this VTS, you will begin to see photos everywhere. Not prints. But you will be able to see with your eyes what will be a good shot and what won't. You will have a visual thinking strategy.
