Working with motion in water

Hello and welcome to Inspired, a weekly email for my paid subscribers. In this series I want to explore topics which I hope might spark some inspiration for your own photography. I will talk about my thought process for creating images, both in the field and in post processing. The posts will be linked in some way to the monthly challenges, hopefully giving you all lots of food for thought.

This week I wanted to talk about using motion in water to create dynamic compositions. This will be my last post before Christmas so I wanted to give you all something to work with over the holiday season.

I find working with moving water fascinating. No two shots are ever the same and the options and possibilities are endless. For this post I wanted to focus on using moving water as a compositional tool working with the direction of flow to create leading lines and visual pathways through an image.
