I study people. Fascinated with expression. It's very hard to find it, But when you do it's great !

 

I think that the order of good photography is a combination of several elements.

Having the idea and direction to start and then to wait until you find the right situation is a gift.

Processing is all so important in this digital age. I used to get frustrated dodging and burning in my attic. Now I sit on my laptop and bin the image or go back if I mess up.

But most important is The passion. Without it you may as well just go down the pub.

  

The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart.

Helen Keller

  

Recall the last time someone complimented your photography. Did they compliment you or did they compliment your camera? Surely, we’ve all heard it at least once: “Wow, your camera takes great photos!” Of course, this is rarely said with any inkling of malicious intent; when people make such statements, they aren’t really trying to minimize your effort, they just aren’t educated on all that goes into making anything more than a snapshot.

 

For the rest of us, we understand that a good photograph starts with the photographer and the way that he or she is actively interpreting and internalizing their subject. It’s all about vision. But we do need the camera to do its job also. We need to know what to tell the camera to do in order to translate our creative vision into something a bit more tangible — a photograph.
