CRITIQUE: INTIMATE NATURE
The term “intimate landscape” can be attributed to American photographer Eliot Porter. An intimate landscape puts a frame around a small part of the world around us and draws our attention to something we might not otherwise notice. It’s about the smaller details vs. the big scenic landscape. It might focus on shapes, lines, colors, textures or patterns. It can tell a part of the story. It can be crafted to convey a particular mood, emotion or observation with a degree of intimacy, understanding or closeness.
One reason for pursuing the intimate landscape is that you’ll create images that are uniquely your own. It allows your vision to shine through in ways that photographing grand scenic landscapes cannot. Intimate landscapes can include nature scenes, abstract photographs, portraits of flowers, plants or trees, or small scenes from buildings and other structures. Join us as we learn to explore, observe, distill and craft intimate photographs. An entire universe of possibilities opens up when a photographer learns to see the smaller scenes.

BIO:
Susan Milinkovich began photographing with her father when she got her first Brownie camera in elementary school. Her dad gave her the gift of “seeing” a photograph and both parents gave her a love of nature and an appreciation for the beauty to be found in our everyday world. While Susan enjoys capturing the larger landscapes, it is the intimate details of a landscape, structure or flower that draws her attention. Susan has participated in exhibits at Pop Revolution, Middletown Art Center, the Cincinnati Nature Center and Mohawk Gallery as part of Cincinnati’s PhotoFocus. Susan does photowalks for the MetroParks of Butler County, and teaches classes and workshops on composition, light, macro and close-up photography, abstract photography, color theory, and focus stacking.
