EDNA & SLY -  ...through the eyes of my Lens!

ABSTRACT PERSPECTIVES

I must confess that I am more  intrigued by pictures that reveal an unusual insight into an unfolding activity. Those shots where you don't necessarily bother yourself about the personality of the subject; rather focusing on the  PERSONALITY OF THE SHOT!

Here are a few of such shots.



Pictures taken from:
SLY & EDNA'S ONLINE HOLY MATRIMONY ALBUM

Most of the time when I take shots like the ones above, I take an alternative by "shifting focus" to help the viewer enjoy the other elements that are often left in oblivion thereby, helping them to fully appreciate the story telling mechanism that is employed therein.
Another Example.

SLIDESHOW COLLECTION

What you will notice in these pictures at once is the application of Cinematography principles in taking Still Shots. Remember, Film is simply Pictures in motion hence, the name "MOTION PICTURE"
SEE YOU NEXT TIME!

CAPTURING THE MOMENT

Photography series by Stanlee Ohikhuare

Anyone can take pictures. However, an Ideal Photo must have a Structure – without which it is altogether boring. Composition is another thing that must not be taken lightly. A well composed shot captures attention once sighted; irrespective of the photographic medium and image resolution. Just to buttress how unimportant the luxury of high resolution can be, fine details and razor – sharp imagery will always fail to impress if there's no story behind it.

By structure, I am talking about is the innate, underlying colors, rigid forms and tonal gradation that stir up inquisitiveness. Only after a photo has caught your eye does anything else matter – after all, of what use is freezing a flimsy moment?

Once a photo has arrested its viewer, it needs to have the right blend of details to keep the eyes interested. This is easy. Every photo has details. The problem is that many photos lack the requisite structure and Artistic composition which compel viewers to take a closer look and enjoy the details!

Once the basics are grasped, with even a cell phone or your I-pad, you can capture moments with images everyone else is completely oblivious of.

A lot of hobbyists- and professionals alike tend to take these basics for granted. Little wonder why there are thousands of people spending fortunes on cameras and prime lenses, and never get any decent pictures.

It's the basic underlying composition that makes or breaks an image.
On the next post, we will take a look at the importance of “THE SUBJECT” in a photographic expression.
