Paul Caponigro said 'Good photographs take planning'
Fil Hunter (p.5): 'The more you accomplish with your head, the less work you have to do with your hands - you can think faster than you can move.'
These seem relevant to my recent experiments on designing my own workflow and planning my photo sessions. I found it helpful to visualise the images I am after before heading off to my location as well as visualising the actual location.
There also need to be a balance between detailed planning and leaving enough flexibility and, if possible, unstructured time and space. Both of these feed creativity and imagination. The unstructured part even more so, but having the technical elements in order (and planning is crucial for that) makes it possible to concetrate fully on the creative aspect of photography.
