Adapting Our Photography to Our Uncertain Times feat. Documentary Photographer Daniel Milnor – Ep 47

About Daniel Milnor

Daniel Milnor spent twenty-five-years as a full-time photographer but is currently “Creative Evangelist” for Blurb, Inc. the world’s premiere print-on-demand publishing platform. He splits his time between the smog-choked arteries of Southern California and the spiritual landscape of New Mexico where he’s been known to hike, paddle, climb, ski, ride and explore all the spaces in between. Milnor is a complete and total nonbeliever in social media and feels these platforms have done irreparable damage to human communication skills and attention span while unleashing a level of consumerism the planet simply cannot survive.

Show Notes

We need to think as a collective and not put people at risk
Five Ways to Adapt

1. Study – If you’re going to do documentary work, you have to do research
2. Journal – Write down your experiences
3. Write – Take projects where you would have taken more photos, and write about them to develop ideas. Also create a newsletter
4. Mix Your Media – Don’t limit yourself to just photography for your art, and mix it with writing, drawing and other forms of media
5. Create a Challenge – Create a conceptual project that doesn’t require people to photograph
