Capture souls not just smiles
Dubai is an international city where people from different nations, cultures, traditions and histories come to live. There is a lot of potential for a good photographer in Dubai. In a city like this, where there is so much to capture, the population of the photographer is high. Finding a good photographer is as difficult as finding a needle in the heap of the barn. He is an amazing photographer among all the others.
Images alter our perception about certain things. Before the photography, it was nearly impossible for an actor or actress to have a fan following. The fans didn’t know about their idols very much but photography connected them with the celebrities. Photography adds validity to the information people read or hear. People only believe what they see. Even in courtrooms, a photograph is considered as a solid proof. Before the advent of photography, the politicians had a difficult time reaching their audience.
Photography is more accurate than painting. A painter can omit, add or embellish but a photography is a solid proof that something happened. A photographer sees what the camera sees but an artist first sees the object and then paint according to his interpretation. People have an emotional response to photographs rather than what they hear or read about.
The characteristics of a good photograph are:
- They must have great composition: Rules of 3rd and symmetry are applied here.
- It captures emotion: as a human being we are drawn to emotion and a good photograph must capture the right emotions at right time.
- Interesting background
- Sharp – a sharp photograph shows skills
- Symmetry
- Lighting – should be good
- Your photo should tell a story to its audience
- Leaves something to imagination
- It captures the emotions behind a smile
- Shows the true essence of the situation captured.
- Connect people with other people around the world
- It should make other people think about it
- Take people somewhere they have never been
Photography connects people not only with the photographer but also with other people. People you haven’t know but one glimpse at the picture and you can guess the emotion of the person. Photography is a great medium to communicate with people without talking, to convey your message. Photographers should be creative as to their creativity is their identification. It separates one photographer from one another. The unique way of taking pictures tells a lot about the person behind the camera.
