IMAGES THAT THINK

Added on December 2, 2019 by Jason Lam.

I never want my photos to be just about technical perfection.

I once flipped through a book about Rembrandt’s paintings and the author wrote about how his portraits go beyond just the famed “Rembrandt lighting” that we all know so well.

Rembrandt’s portraits are beautiful, but it’s not just because of the lighting. They’re beautiful because you can feel the subjects thinking. His photos have a spirit of their own that transcends technique.

Despite the 2-dimensional construct, you can feel a human presence beating through the canvas.

Rembrandt didn’t just create beautiful images, he created beautiful images that think.

That's what I hope to capture as I dive deeper into my work.
