Capture what's behind the lens, not in front of it

October 17, 2019 in journal

In formal photography, we worry about things like correct exposure and proper composition. Boring stuff that leads to images similar to what everyone else creates.

Photography is an art. Instead of capturing what your eye sees, capture what you see. Forget about technical details and silly composition rules, follow your gut and click away.

Point your camera at something and capture what's behind it.
