Images
can remind us of the seasons we experience in a life. The viewer may
take a mental journey to a place and time where they experienced the
same feelings a photographer shares within a photo.
With all the technology, we have today in photography, it's pretty easy to take good pictures. Just put the thing in full auto and shoot. But it's a much different thing to make an excellent image, let alone being something called art.
There are many elements that should be included in high quality Art Photography. To list a few, the technical must be excellent, which includes exposure, depth of field, file handling, color management, etc. Once the technical becomes second nature to the photographer the work begins. And that would be to develop one's heart.
Personally photography has made me realize things about how I see the world more than anything else. The Masters write and speak of how much of the photographer goes into making a great image.
Great photographers have Empathy, Compassion and Love that become the silent subject of their images because they have learned how to capture the "Heart of The Matter."
