My inspiration for photography is music - to be able to convey a feeling with a piece, without having to think about each finger and each chord - to be able to bypass the mechanics of it, and let intuition and experience guide the image making process. It may take a long time, but with perseverance and some help you'll get better. Even the most experienced pianists need to spend many hours practicing in order to achieve that amazing ease and grace to convey emotion seemingly effortlessly. We photographers need to practice, learn from things that work and don't work, and build our "photographic muscle memory" or intuition. |
Yes photography is so much more than I thought it was initially and because of this site and great people like you who openly give advice to beginners like me makes all the difference in the world! So thank you and I have to give a lot of credit :D
