About Us
Think of ShutterSalt as the thing you add to your daily photography practice to kick up the intensity,
to bring out the intricacies of your favorite styles and subjects.
Sprinkle liberally.
A powerful photograph is one that goes beyond just documenting a thing or event -- it helps define it, explain it, translate it. To create an impact, a photographer must go beyond just snapping the shutter, but push oneself to become a storyteller. That takes practice. And that's where ShutterSalt comes in.
ShutterSalt is a place to encourage the playfulness, creativity, inspiration, and exploration that drives great photography. We provide the seeds of thought that will take you beyond just practicing the technical skills of working with your camera (though plenty of ideas will push you in this area too), and nudge you to expand psychological, social and cultural borders as well. Each of the "Steal This Idea" concepts is intended to spark ideas and careful thought about the potential of you and your camera, each photographer profile is meant to show you the potential of the craft, each blog entry adds to your arsenal of tips, tricks and leads for more ideas.
On top of offering lots of ideas through Steal This Idea and the clever projects and concepts we write about on the blog, from DIY lenses to street photography strategies to just plain old cool stuff other people are working on, we also profile top notch photographers and ask them about their own inspirations, techniques, gear, workflow, and other aspects of their craft that might help you in growing as a photographer.
Here, you will learn from others, and more importantly, to push yourself out of your comfort zone and expand your skills. You'll find ideas that make you think of your camera not just as a tool to capture images but also as a tool to shape lives; and ideas that encourage you not just to experiment with your camera's settings but also with your physical, mental and emotional settings. These are the skills that turn good images into great photography.
