Ideas and aesthetics

“Engaging with the aesthetic of a photographer’s work is different than engaging with the ideas of their work.”

Photographer Stephen Voss gives us this wisdom in his latest issue of Light Readings.

The words prompt an invitation to be patient with any creative work we don’t immediately appreciate or understand.

Ideas and aesthetics are not one and the same.

Learning and inspiration can be sparked by either, even when one of them seems inaccessible.
