As a photographer one of the biggest mistakes or challenges I face on a regular basis is the idea of "intimacy" When you are in a location making photographs the experience will always feel more 'real' because you are "there". But when looking back at the images I make I often feel a distance between me and subject that I did not feel in the moment. The images that I tend to feel the most 'moved' by on an emotional level are the ones where I am very close to my subject. The best photographers are the ones who are able to connect a feeling to their images in a way that is profoundly intimate, so when some one views their work they can feel it on a very deep level, despite having no direct relationship to the subject like the photographer had. So with that I bring you our latest playlist MUSIC FOR INTIMATE STORYTELLING. These songs are quieter and encourage the listener to connect to the stories in the songs which resonate a gentle intimacy.
