What could be better than perfection?

In this insightful talk, Canon Explorer of Light Erin Babnik draws upon a broad range of her experiences in the field, in education, and in the professional realm to identify common pitfalls where fixating on technical perfection can lead photographers astray. Embracing the belief that creativity is a messy place, Erin offers advice for balancing high standards of image making with the capricious nature of inspiration.
