A Pathway To Purpose: Introduction

“A life exploring my passion for the abundance of nature across this island we call Australia, of developing an eye and heart to see and feel, mastering capture skills, making art, creating and publishing word- image projects to share with the world, has been my life-purpose for 58 years. It is from this life-long journey this Masterclass has evolved. 

Each of the six Masterclass modules stands alone and yet each is interwoven with the other. Collectively they represent a pathway of possibilities that will reflect your progress on your journey.

Photography practised with mindfulness can provide us with an exciting and varied journey through life. If we persist, we may discover we have a unique voice, a vital voice. The rewards are many, although I remind myself that my rewards come not from what I have done, but by what I have become.

Since the digital photography world took off in the early 2000s, this and its related activities have become available to everyone and the platforms (physical and digital) through which we share our excitement and zest for life are numerous. Cameras to track birds in flight and camera-equipped vehicles to carry people to the ocean depths, to name only two.

Throughout my career, my personal and professional mission has been twofold. Firstly to celebrate the benefits nature provides for human mental, spiritual and physical wellbeing while celebrating the diversity of Australia’s natural world. Secondly, to provide me with life purpose, a reason for being.

Many say the joy is in the journey, and I choose to believe this. So why not join me and create your pathway.”

‘People with creative life goals succeed because they know where they are going’ - Steve Parish

Module 1 - Finding Your Passion: This module helps you identify your passion, find your creative voice and articulate it to surround yourself with friends, colleagues and (if you choose) clients. who support your life’s purpose. The module addresses the challenges encountered along the way.

Module 2 - Projects With Purpose: My CLP is about clear, uncluttered projects that focus and channel passion into collections of images with meaning, purpose, and value – both personal and commercial. I advocate projects be based on subjects worth supporting, and that your creative voice is more than ‘Look at this picture!’

Module 3 - The Art of Seeing Art: Reveals how your CLP can give you the stillness of mind to see and take better images and to focus on understanding which images to seek out to best tell your story. It inspires you to see art all around and how to utilise the weather in inventive ways.

Module 4: Capture and Cameras: Shows you which equipment and techniques will best serve your CLP. Yes, there is a clear path through the minefield of choosing and using cameras, lenses and equipment. You will also discover that you have a head start with camera settings because you have a clearer idea of the role each image capture can play in your collections.

Module 5: The Digital Darkroom: Because your CLP is based on your creative voice, you can edit and create art in your digital darkroom hub to please yourself. Inject your playful inner child into your artwork so editing and interpreting your emotions becomes intuitive and energising. Module 5 explores choosing software and hardware, tips for playing with your equipment and artwork.

Module 6: Connecting with Community: provides ways to share your creative voice with others, for pleasure, profit, or both. Personal and artistic growth expands rapidly when connecting with others. Your CLP gives you the confidence to share your creative voice and then to grow from feedback.

A Creative Life Using a Camera

Module 4 - Part A

Your camera gives voice to your CLP, and your goal is to make your camera as intuitive to use as your voice, and just as expressive.

In this section, I share the basic functions of a camera, whatever its make and model. I have structured the discussion around the issues that lie at the essence of all image creation: the balance of lightness and darkness, the balance of sharpness and softness, composition, and colour. These are the only four things camera settings can change. I’ll show you how to mix the camera settings to choose the look that will best express your CLP later in Part A, where we explore the craft of capture.

Over the years, I have found that most nature, landscape, and even portrait photographers use much the same approach with their settings. Even if you’re very experienced, you might benefit from questioning the ‘recipes’ you use – are they supporting your CLP in the best way?

Remember the mind stories from Module 1 – Part B? We’re about to get technical, but our goal is to make the processes of capturing images intuitive, so you come to perform these steps naturally and even to love the challenges they sometimes present. This is where the beating heart of all photographic creativity resides. Master it and you will fly!

SAMPLE PAGE FROM CAMERAS AND CAPTURE

Balancing lightness and darkness: Moody, mysterious, or happy? Your camera doesn’t know which look fits your CLP. But you do. I will show you how to manage brightness by exposure compensation or by manually changing aperture and shutter speed. I favour a flexible approach that lets me further change brightness in parts of the picture by computer, harvesting the most useful data from the sensor, shooting in RAW and using the camera’s histogram to see the levels of information available in both the dark and light areas of any image.Balancing sharpness and softness: Your camera doesn’t know when you want things crisp and when you want creative blur instead. I will show you how to introduce blur from movement using shutter speeds, or blur from focus using apertures and lenses. You need excellent sharpness to publish pictures, so I will show how to get pin-sharp photos through effective settings, focus, and even computer tricks. Composition: In this module, I reveal how lens choice lets you balance compositional elements, compress depth, or stretch depth to achieve the looks described in Module 3. Colour: I show my simplified approach to colour in the camera. I prefer to manage colour on the computer to add or remove energy and to enhance mood.

Balancing light & dark ColourBalancing sharpness & softness Composition

The art of the capture process is all about brightness and darkness, sharpness and softness, composition and colour. If you set your camera on ‘auto’, it guesses how you want to balance these four creative choices, which is why I don’t use auto! I want to make these creative choices myself to express how I see and feel at the time of capture.

During the crafting of the image - the selection of file quality, the use of ISO setting, and the balancing act in determining the aperture and shutter speed – I make some of these choices in the camera. As I shoot in RAW, I am able to make other adjustments afterwards on the computer.

Bird themesBird photography is one of the most popular photographic pursuits, and of the many themes that can be developed, few are as popular as bird identification. Bird behaviour, art, anatomy, and birdsong and vocalisation recordings also offer up an endless parade of projects. Of course, if you add human interaction to the mix, there’s an even wider spectrum of conservation and scientific topics that could be pursued.

We’ve published innumerable projects featuring Australia’s spectacular and diverse bird fauna, and our plastic-jacketed Michael Morcombe Field Guides are ideal for field identification.

Low angle of viewBefore realising there are alternatives, picture makers may confine themselves to photographing from a standard front-on point of view, which can make a collection of photographs appear a little dull. One way to dramatically change your approach is to take photographs from a low viewpoint. Depending on the subject, this departure from the normal perspective can result in strong visual impact because the view has moved to an out-of-the-ordinary perspective. The shift, by the way, does not have to be radical.

As a big fan of the Australian bush as a source for artistic expression, I find the spareness of trees found across tropical savanna alluring. Here, during the late afternoon golden glow, I felt I had entered a William Turner painting. Turner, one of Britain's favourite artists of the late 1700’s - early 1800’s was known as ‘the painter of light’, I often see/feel ‘Turners’ everywhere when I play in the bush.

Steve Parish OAM

Steve is a passionate and highly motivational speaker, writer and teacher, and one of few Australian photographers who can look back over five-plus decades of photography across a range of Australian social and natural history subjects. Steve pioneered underwater photography in Australia and now manages the largest and most comprehensive privately owned photographic library in the nation; it is from this vast resource that he has assembled these unique ebooks. While many of his featured images are now iconic, others are being seen for the first time.

He first started publishing in dive magazines in Australia and New Zealand at the age of 18. Since then, Steve has shared his work with the Australian community through thousands of publications, talks, exhibitions and public events. In 1985, he launched the signature brand Steve Parish Publishing. Over thirty years, it became a significant award-winning multimillion dollar business, employing 125 staff with a sales and distribution network that serviced over 3500 accounts. In 2012, the company, brand and stock were sold to Pascal Press, Sydney. Steve retained, and continues to build, a library that contains in excess of 700,000 images. Steve’s iconic publications continue after 35 years in print – a massive body of work for which he received an Order of Australia in 2008 for his contribution to the publishing industry through Australian natural history.

Today, Steve resides in the Blackall Range on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, where he and his partner are building a self-sustaining family community. From his 'studio man-shed,’ he steers his new company, Nature Connect, an internet portal that offers library services, decor, training and teaching Australia-wide. His creative life purpose to ‘inspire others to regard the natural world as essential to spiritual, mental and physical wellbeing' continues unchanged since he wrote in it the Kimberley in 1984.

Steve is a passionate advocate of life-enhancement through nature connection and an active ambassador for Bush Heritage Australia and the Mental Illness Fellowship of Queensland.
