What makes a GREAT photographer? Look at these Nepalese kids' shots!? |
If you visit the BBC news website, you'll find a series of photos shot by children in Nepal as part of a photo project documenting their lives. Some of this stuff is AMAZING - lighting, composition, color ... who wouldn't be proud to have taken these shots? So here's the question - how did they do it? Is this the result of an approach that is "all heart" without any emphasis on technique? I don't want to romanticize childhood or abject poverty or anything like that. But I want to know what, if anything, photographers might be able to learn (philosophically, aesthetically, etc.) from this? Thanks for your time! Ansel Adams didn't photograph children. A good picture comes from the inside. It takes personal vision, heart and soul. It takes the desire to engage your subject without using long telephoto lenses. It takes a little luck, the ability to capture the decisive moment and as the say at NGS the ability to be "f8 and be there." I visited the web site. WOW. The test of good photography is always in seeing what is in the frame. The children look and capture on film the things they find beautiful. Adults tend to have more distractions crowding the frame. Artists like Ansel Adams work hard at recovering the naivety and simplicity of childhood. I think there's a documentary on them. If it's the same one, amazing shots. They say that the best photo you'll take is the one before you learn anything. |
