You may feel that the subject matter is the person, place or thing that compelled you to stop and take a picture. It’s not. The image you create from what you consider ordinary requires feeling and emotion on your part. Your excitement and unique vision is what turns the ordinary into extraordinary photographs. Photography is all about story telling. You take the raw material before you, bring the viewfinder to your eye, compose what you see and create a photograph. But to extract the extraordinary from the ordinary first requires that you photograph something that has meaning to you, something that you love.
If you’re passionate about photography, your goal is to create images that have visual impact. When you create an image it’s the equivalent of saying, “This is important. Look at this.” You don’t have to travel halfway around the world to create images that have impact and tell a story. You can do so where you live.
