This is the photo that started it all for me, not because it was perfect… but because it meant something.
This is my other half, stood looking out to sea just after finishing chemo for lymphoma and getting the all clear.
And something about it hit me. The reflection, the light, the quiet… it told a whole story without saying a word.
That’s when I realised that taking photos is more than just capturing what something look likes, it’s about telling a story, capturing emotions, telling stories and conveying a message.
I accept the imperfections in the editing, the subject could have been sharper, the composition isn’t perfect but that isn’t what I see when I look at this image, what I see is a survivor taking a moment to reflect on everything that’s happened.
I’d love to know… was there a photo that started it all for you?
