AWE
Awe lives alongside joy;
one cannot be fully realised
without the other.
- Steve Parish
An overwhelming feeling of reverence and admiration lies at the heart of what we are passionate about. When in a state of awe, we release a powerful stimulant that will heighten our senses. It is a direct emotional connection with the source of our creative life purpose. It could be the human form, the birthing process of a human child, a track athlete mid-air or the multitudinous array of wonders of the natural world; the content is irrelevant. Awe lies at the very heart of whatever it is that drives us to create.
Your expression of awe as a creative promotes your love affair with your subjects. How artfully we create determines how swiftly and deeply we move the emotions of our viewers to feel the same sense of connectedness, or loving-kindness, towards the content of images we display.
Awe lives alongside joy; one cannot be fully realised without the other. Only when you are joyful, inspired, and appreciative of the majesty of your subjects can you genuinely capture their essence?
I best capture awe when I'm connected to the essence of nature and can see the natural world through the lens of imagination while I am 'present' at that moment. In springtime, in fields of colourful flowers swaying in the breeze, I breathe in the perfume of a thousand flowers and capture awe. In the presence of another living being, I sense a deep sense of oneness.
Try it, and experience true joy.
