Roberts explains how having clear goals, like looking for chairs and benches for a specific project, makes you more productive.

This approach helps you see opportunities that you might typically miss, enhancing your vision and making you more aware of the photographic possibilities around you. ⤴️

The act of actively looking for something to photograph will naturally make you see more. ⤴️
🔻Catatan:
It’s not an overnight change but a gradual process that improves with practice. The more you do it, the better you become at spotting scenes and subjects. ⤴️
🔻Catatan:
Once you spot one interesting subject, you’ll start seeing others. The more you look, the more opportunities will come your way. This method trains your eye to notice details and scenes that were always there but previously went unnoticed. ⤴️

Visualizing the world in a particular way also aids in spotting potential subjects. ⤴️

Ordinary fields, which may seem bland at first glance, reveal their beauty when observed with a focused eye. This approach can be applied to any subject that appeals to you. ⤴️

If your vision isn’t tuned to spot these subjects, they remain hidden in plain sight. ⤴️
