I think it’s an interesting topic for aspiring/developing artists (whether photographers or otherwise). Behind the lens, there may be a temptation to portray “what is” (whatever your perspective) rather than “what you want to show”. It’s the same for other visual arts, and even for developing musical or writing style. I’m definitely not a particularly artistic photographer, but learning to focus on what I want to convey rather than the actual content that’s conveying it has helped me immensely as a musician and (more pronounced on a smaller scale) as a poet.
