1.1 Roadmap, Contents, and Introduction - The Creative Process of Photography
What to Expect From This Series
Nikon D750 Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 G2 @ 50mm 1/160s f/3.5 ISO 100 - Portrait of a photographer with a Pentax k1000
I learn well by doing and by teaching, so this series is a practice of both. I plan to explore, practice, and discuss the entire process of photography including technical, artistic, and historical contexts. I plan on creating both articles and videos on each subject simultaneously both to hopefully enlighten you and for my own practice in writing, designing, lighting, shooting, directing, editing, and promoting educational and documentary content.
The Initial Road-map
While post subject may initially seem scattered, the final result is intended to be a complete set of work covering the entire photo process. This includes pre-production, camera setup, camera settings, post-production workflow, editing, sharing, and archiving. Interweaved with this will also be historical essays about famous works, photographers, and the development of photography both technically and artistically.

About the Author
My name is Eric Dye and I’ve been taking photos for over 10 years now. I’ve worked as a college newspaper photographer, editor, and creative director for 4 years and now work managing a non-profit large-format theater and as a semi-professional photographer. I also manage several YouTube channels and co-produced the Rasterized podcast series. When not pursuing creative ventures I enjoy gaming, movies, and travel.
