Shoot the Feeling

January 11, 2025  •  Leave a Comment

I am certainly not a war photographer like Don McCullin and others, but early on, I realized my landscapes and portraits and street photography needed to be infused with whatever emotion the scene was evoking in me that induced me to snap the shot to begin with. The conscious intentionality of a photograph must come through to the viewer in order to separate it from a mere snapshot. I don't always succeed, and when I do, of course, it's to a lesser or greater degree than I would like.  Hopefully, over the years I have been getting better at capturing that spark in my images.
