Reaction Paper #2

Last week in Photography seminar, photographer and guest speaker Katherine Liepe-Levinson came to class. She started off by showing us a little slideshow of her recent work, and it was truly inspiring. She has been working a lot in capturing reflection, going to the same pond at different times of the day, and during different seasons to capture different moods. It was amazing to see how we could determine what season and what circumstance she shot each image in. We could pick out the colors of the leaves in the reflections, or look at the different angles of the sun to determine what time of day it was. 

Katherine also talked about printing your work, and how important printed peices are. To me, a framed, matted and printed photograph is a completed photograph. Having a completed body of work is important to any professional photographer. 

Another thing that Katherine talked about was getting your completed bodies of work into galleries and shows. One piece of advice that really stuck with me was to have multiple, but seperate, galleries online. It is important to have a variety of work to show because everyone has a different taste, and what one gallery owner likes, another may not
