I believe that you do make a photograph. When shooting still photography, I always look through my lens and view am object ... a tree, fence, barn, bench or whatever it may be through the lens before capturing it. When I photograph people, especially children, I observe them first and then snap away! I love photographing children and families because as they interact with one another, they tend to smile naturally and their personalities come out. I don't care for posed photos. Candid shots are so REAL to me and they tell a story. I get more and more inspired after I get home and view them on my computer. It's as if I am reliving the photo shoot all over again. I smile as I look at each photo and remember what we talked about. I ask children to tell me a story while I take their photos. My subjects are always rewarded in the end ... they can make a silly face for the LAST photo. Ha. No lollipops or chocolate ... a crazy, silly face and they have fun. That's my reward.
I hope you were Inspired by someone today or you Inspired someone yourself.
Always Be Inspired, Ali
