What LUMINA is built on.

The principles behind THE LUMINA METHOD™ by Per Valentin, in brief. They concern the choices you make before taking a photograph and when reviewing it afterwards.

1. 01

   A photograph should have a reason to exist.

2. 02

   Seeing is a choice. It can be trained.

3. 03

   What you leave out shapes the photograph.

4. 04

   One good photograph can stand alone. A series shows what you keep seeing.

5. 05

   Technique is a prerequisite, not a goal.

6. 06

   Good image critique does not only ask whether the photograph looks good. It asks whether it does what you intended.

7. 07

   The strongest photograph is often the one you are still thinking about the next day.

“From the way you see to photographs that are clearly yours.”
