Essence is defined as “the most important ingredient, the crucial element.” Some people say that when you’re preparing a meal the essence of a dish is the spice. In portrait photography, the essence of the photograph is you.
Joy, love, amusement, amazement, contentment, peace, playfulness is what photographers love to capture, and is what makes us smile when we view great photos. Capturing a great photo is like getting the flavor of the dish just right.
Great meals need an interesting combination of fresh ingredients, cooked just right, flavored to perfection, textured and presented on your plate in a colorful way. The food makes you smile when you taste it.
Great photos need an interesting combination of great light, colors, shapes, lines, textures, and emotions all in one click of the shutter. A great photo can make you smile too.
“To capture your essence and make you smile.”
That’s the most important part of our job!
