The Art Of Photography & The Beauty Of Simple Things

By Anne Gable


It isn't unusual to see a paper cup, pair of slippers or disco ball. Frankly, they're ordinary things we do not exactly look forward to seeing. Yet images of a slightly tilted cup, pair of mismatched slippers and vibrant disco ball are quite interesting. The difference between the actual thing and the previously described things is the art of photography. That causes us to give things a second look when we normally won't bother to notice them otherwise.

But technically, what goes into such composition? Truth be told, there are a lot. Let us talk about three of them for now. One is lighting. The second is angle and the third is something. For the first one gives the subject its glow. This contributes to the creation of dramatic or lively images depending on how the photographer wants something to appear before the eyes of his or her viewers.

Then there is angle. One of the most essential things that the photographer acknowledges about a subject is that it's multidimensional. Different angles present a variety of fascinating sides that provide glimpses to the distinctive character of the subject. In a way, the photographer makes use of this to dictate how he or she wants the viewer to see his or her subject.

Moreover, there's the concept of proper timing. One needs to be alert and fast besides being able to anticipate things if he or she likes to capture the passing moments of life that are practically gone in an instant. Liquid spilling, a dunk in the basket and an athlete reaching the finish line among others won't happen in the exact same manner as they did once. If a photographer likes to capture those moments, then he or she must know or at least have the instinct as to when it's time to press that shutter.

The clever management of the aforesaid along with the other technicalities of photography combined with the talent and skills of the photographer allow him or her to realise his or her goal of producing images with the subjects rendered at their best. That's to say that the raw images are already visually appealing in their own right. The great photographer delivers excellent images and depends not on some photo editing software just to enhance his or her material.
