I found it interesting that most of the artists said it is not possible to learn a way of seeing. However, they believe that a person with talent can be trained or practice to take good photographs. Mary Ellen Mark said that a way of seeing can't be learned because it is who you are, but you can learn how to be graphically proficient.
Rineke Dijkstra has a different answer to this question. She says everybody can learn a way of seeing and take good photographs if they have passion and photograph what fascinates them. Most of the artists agreed that you should photograph what interests you in order to make great images that stand out.
Everyone has a unique way of seeing the world and this is shown in the pictures we take. What we choose to photograph and why we do it are results of the way we see. Do certain ways of seeing make better photographs and photographers?
