I have always said that you can’t only take a photograph, photographs have to be made. Great many people are not even worried about focusing when photographing that’s why everybody asks us to simply take pictures. *yuck.
Another big mistake I’ve always seen is: you can’t simply look at a photograph you have to read it. (Experts also say that you read it like you are reading this post from the left to the right side starting at the top). But why on earth they keep either looking at the center and saying a loud ‘wooow’ or making strange faces when they don’t see a model posing, a landscape or flowers? *yuck.again
However, I’m not writing it to talk about narrow-minded people, whose imagination is beyond their minds. I’m writing to tell exactly about the other group: The ones who are able to interpret!
Since high school and along all my university courses we were exposed to a great variety of authors and we were always supposed to give our interpretations, as well as we often heard those people saying “In my opinion, what the author means is bla-bla-bla”. It is a fact that it’s impossible to imagine what does an author mean while writing a book, a poem or when choosing a metaphor due to historical reasons, personal reasons or personal thoughts.
The coolest part in photographing conceptual pictures is: I’m the author. And whenever I show someone a picture and ask what can they see or feel while reading that photo I come across the most absolutely different impressions which I have never imagined to suit that image.
As to keep them neutral I never tell the real meaning I had while composing the pictures and at that time it’s my turn to say the loud ‘wow’!
