Do not look, see.â €
â €
If you want to take great photos, photos that really stand out from the crowd, you should stop looking and start seeing. Capturing amazing moments, that's what photography is all about. â €
â €
Perfection is most commonly imperfect. Sometimes you have to work with what you got. But it is much better to capture the right moment with the wrong camera settings, then the wrong moment with the perfect settings. â €
â €
Look at your surroundings, the model, the light, and the scene. This is the only moment that it will be this way. Try to see the beauty, the atmosphere of the moment, that is the most important thing in it. â €
â €
Learning how to capture the mood of a scene is a skill that is elusive for many photographers. Because rules in photography are made to be broken. So be creative, see your surroundings to capture a mood rather than the perfect composition. â €
â €
When capturing a moment, your goal should be to take a candid photo, where your subject(s) are unaware of the camera. That way, every time you look at the picture, you are brought right back into that exact moment.â €
â €
The lighting also always plays a huge role in your image. To capture the atmosphere of a specific moment, your goal should be to emphasize that lighting as much as possible.â €
â €
The last, but not least important is the timing. Catching the decisive moment, be it a sudden change of light, a speaking gesture, or a street scene is all a matter of hunch and instinct. Hereby you don't have the time to think and you need to be ready to shoot instantly. â €
â €
This is photography in the purest form. Do you agree? Comment below.â €
