Photography, the essence

One of the most powerful tool of our time, is the camera and the art of photography. Its the only way you can freeze time and space for a lasting memory. Through photographs we preserve history.


The ability to envision a final result in your minds eye and then to make it so with the tools in your hand(camera) is beauty unspeakable. Its one thing to just flick a camera and take pictures but also another to seeing something, knowing how you want it to look and making it so. what makes good photography is the power of observation, getting the right angles, postures etc. Photographs "become" through making choices, and great photographs become through making the right choices, right choices are the direct result of the knowledge of the photographer.


The art of photography has gone to another level and seriously I personally think that when people engage in any kind of event they should make it a priority to consider excellent photography because when you look at these art pieces many years to come you'd almost give anything to relive the times.

It is actually possible for anyone who picks up a camera to take that one shot that you are so proud of for your life time, because it is never really about the state of the camera although sometimes it counts because it will have an effect on the result but rather a photographer who has the willingness to learn, a passion for his craft and an ability to connect with his audience.

Would you want to bring that imagination to live, or forever remember certain events in your life? Then never leave good photography out of detail when planning an event, actually never leave photography out of anything.
