Right now, a Nashville photographer takes pictures of
a couple getting married. 884 miles away somewhere in the New York City another camera lover captures a
model for a fancy fashion magazine. It is all happening now, around the world.
Photography is the huge phenomenon of the XXI century. Professionals and people
with iPhones are taking pictures, constantly. Looking on the “instagram” can
bring you a giant amount of emotions, selfies, food pictures and just random
stuff that someone thought it is worth being photographed.
The thing is that everyone thinks it is not
only cool to make pictures, it is absolutely necessary. Somehow, you get to understand that our
opportunity to frozen specific moments and transform them in tangible goods, is
majestic. For weddings, birthday parties, baby showers and Bar Mitzvah celebrations,
we hire professional photographers. We want them to immortalize every single
detail that is involved in the specific event. Also, we require all the
photographs to be perfect. All the pictures are supposed to be beautiful,
natural and super emotional. Just like the real life and the real party. Sometimes
we even want the picture to be better than the authentic thing. This is why
there is Photoshop, makeup and right angles or lights.
However, photography is the art that simmers
in the sea of life. It is full of authenticity and natural circumstances. Even
if a photograph of a model, in a fashion magazine is totally photoshoped, there
is still truth. That model exists and even if it is looking better than the
real version, it is still her.
The abundance of life in photography can be
seen not only in the people’s faces, but also in the pictures with night
landscapes, the city views and basically there is existence in every single
photograph taken in this world. Even if it is a picture with shrimps, posted on
someone’s Facebook wall, that is an image of life
Look around you, there is much beauty in
everything. No wonder why you are using the camera on your phone more than the
green call button. There is just too much life that is simply worth being
frozen in time with the help of a tiny photograph. It is all just making,
photography, the art that shows life in the most genuine way.
