Dorothea Lange

“There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.”

Ernst Haas

“Whenever you take a stand on an issue, people will line up around the block to kick your ass over it. By having an opinion, you make yourself a target.”

Experience the Photo First

Strong photos come from living the experience and being able to capture the emotions.

Behind every picture there is a story. What makes the story good is a great photo. A great photo comes from experiencing the moment. To truly experience the moment, take a photo with fresh eyes. As a photographer you should look for a new approach, a new way to capture the image. If you read too much about an event or location when you photograph you may subconsciously be photographing someone else’s story. The best pictures will come from your experience with the situation.



I buy a plane ticket, maybe check the weather. I don’t like to research or know too much about what is going on. I want the photos to represent what I am feeling when I am there. Not a preconceived notion of what I read before going.
