The vision of an artist

Just taking a picture with your camera doesn’t make you an artist. You have to have a vision, you have to move your audience to feel the scene.

The photograph above is just a picture. I saw a band, in the woods and took a picture of the same. It doesn’t speak nearly as well as the one below.

This even applies to photographs that don’t require this level of processing.

The photograph above versus the one below

For me, it is the difference between a snapshot and a photograph. Use creativity to give images emotion. Get your audience involved and feel the scene.
