Is your photography signature worthy?

Episode 237 I was recently asked if I sign my photographs. I found this to be such an interesting ask because it seems so simple on the surface and yet within it holds more profound questions. Our signatures carry power. A signature can bind you to an agreement, signify acceptance, and provide a notion of who you are. From signing checks (or a screen) when purchasing something to contracts to artwork, the signature says we accept this object or agreement as outlined. As photographers, the signature on the work indicates that the work is finished and that we accept the work is as good as we can make it at the time. It is an agreement that we put on the work. The signature says the work is good enough, says what we want, and we are happy and moving on. This, of course, doesn't mean we can't improve on it later, but for now, this is what we've done. In the related context, the idea of something being signature-worthy and if the work I create is signature-worthy comes up for many of us. In this week's podcast, we talk about the idea and meaning of the signature and signature worthy work. Gear used in podcast
