3 Essential Questions

On a recent episode of Three Essential Questions, we had a fascinating conversation with photographer, educator, and owner of https://www.shutterbugschool.com, Bryan Steiff, about his long-term projects. One of the most remarkable was his decade-long series documenting wind energy production. This wasn't just a local endeavor; it took him 25,000 miles across 33 states and nine European countries. He even shared the story of climbing to the top of an industrial-scale wind turbine in Aachen, Germany—after taking a safety class in German—just to get the perfect shot. It’s a powerful example of the dedication and passion that drives creative work.

He believes that while many of us hesitate to call ourselves "artists," creativity is an innate part of being human, something we see in children but often suppress as adults. His teaching philosophy isn't about "teaching" creativity, which he feels comes from within. Instead, he focuses on guiding exploration and providing the technical skills that allow a student's own creative drive to flourish. It’s a compelling reminder to reconnect with that inner spark.
