“ When developing a familiarity with your art and medium, it is very helpful to emulate the process and style of established artists, mentors, and sometimes peers. Once you have created an ease with your medium and have rendered work that stylistically meets your goals, push yourself to start over again. At the risk of temporary disappointment, a personal vision is often found through tribulation and a choice to pursue a style and content beyond what is already known or easy to obtain.
Serge J-F. Levy, photographer and ICP faculty member
