As basic thinking processes, reason and intuition – the former as a conscious and the latter as an unconscious element – are inevitably present in the creative process of every photographer and significantly influence its final product. Since the life of every artist is an evolving creative process, he needs to understand and sometimes even achieve his artistic goal that he is aware of or at least has an inkling whether he wants to use reason, intuition, or both.
The bachelor’s thesis systematically and comprehensively presents reason and intuition and their influence on the creative process while the content is mainly limited to their use in photography. The thesis is divided into two parts: analytical and practical. Following the introduction, the author first describes the concept of reason and intuition in general theoretical terms and then focuses on their use in photographic creation or the relationship with the photography medium. Based on the collected thoughts and findings of the authors, the reader is introduced to the discussed topic. Based on the self-reflections of selected photographers, the author shows the topic’s implementation in practice. Throughout the thesis, the professional theory is interwoven with the bachelor’s thesis author's findings and reflections. Finally, the last chapter presents the author’s creative process, the product of which is a photo book.
