Being a photographer is not just about taking great pictures; It’s also about telling a story. Depending on how you compose the image and post-process the image will determine the feelings of the viewer. It will also determine a particular story that is being told at that time.
I love photographing children because of their innocence and genuineness. There is no pretense with them. Just let them do what they do and capture as quickly and as well as I can. Candid photography is a great way to showcase children. After the capture, I then do what is called post-processing to enhance not only the image itself, but the feelings that will be derived from viewing the images. Yes, it is subjective because it’s all based on how I feel and what moves me. I never try to imagine what would move the viewers, because I am not a mindreader. What I am is a mother, a wife, a woman, & a human-being, who has feelings. I figure that even if they don’t like my favorite images, they will select their own favorites, which is definitely a win-win. Check out the images below and tell the story that you see.
