The Art Behind Great Photography by isaw.company

Where: iSAW Gallery

Details: Is there an art to photography? Is photography an art? These two questions may sound like they have just been reversed, but they require some thought before you answer.

Everything to do with photography comes down to what you’re trying to capture, irrespective of what type of camera you use and the abilities of the camera.

If you try and remember ‘less is more’ and make it a mindset whenever you do photography, you will start to produce spectacularly great photos that will amaze even yourself. Let me clarify.

First of all, make clear in your mind what EXACTLY are you looking at.

Are you looking at the person standing across the road having a cigarette dressed in a bright yellow and green top and trousers leaning against an all black car? Or are you looking at the FACE of the person standing across the road having a cigarette dressed in a bright yellow and green top and trousers leaning against an all black car, staring with eyes wide open in disbelief at a person walking by wearing multi-coloured socks and orange flip flops dressed in a blue two piece suit?

To know exactly what you’re looking at… and that’s what you want to capture is the key here, minimises a lot of the context, meaning less distraction equals more focus on an aspect within that moment.

What is the ‘ART’ behind photography that makes it great then?
