The magic of photography

I’ve said many times before that we photographers can alter reality without Photoshop. We alter reality with a variety of “tricks” that don’t really trick.

We can alter reality by the choices of lenses, shutter speeds, lighting, aperture, and more.

We don’t worry about reality in paintings, drawings, or sculptures as art. We accept it as art. I choose to put photography in there as well. I don’t worry about reality when I am doing my photographic art. If I can alter reality with my camera and “special techniques” I believe I can also use Photoshop techniques as well.

Let your art become free and expand your creativity, not only through the magic of Photoshop but also through the magic of camera techniques and lighting. Learn to use all your photography tools to create magic. Show us what you can create.
