Photography Phriday: Photos That Evoke Emotion
Friday, May 9th, 2008
Hi and Welcome to my very own edition of Photography Phriday!
I am so excited to host this blog entry because Photography is something VERY near and dear to my heart! I had bought a Canon Powershot S3-Is about two years a go and found that it was a nice balance between a dslr and a POS and once I started to feel comfortable with my photography capabilities I moved on up to the world of DSLR this past January. Soooo anyhow my love of photography runs more for candid photos. I am very much in love with Emotive (or what I feel is emotive) photography. I of course think taking photos on occasions are very important but I also really want to be able to look back in twenty years when my children are no longer at home with me and remember their emotion and thoughts from any particular day. I want to see a bit of their personality in their photos.
How do I do this? I literally follow them around the house ALL day. They are so comfortable with the camera now that they don’t even bother to look at me. Really though I just don’t mind because their is something very charming about finding them in their natural setting. So here’s a mini challenge. Try to find something in your every day routine that evokes emotion. Something that you just KNOW you will look back on in ten years and have that memory just flood on back to you. You don’t have to scrap it, just savor it.
I would love to share a couple of my photos as an example of what I mean if that’s alright.
Thank you so much for looking, hope you have a fabulous weekend!!
