It is about understanding that moment, identifying the elements that make up that moment and just as important elements within a scene that don’t.įundamentally some of the most important elements in photography are learning to read and understand what makes up a moment and just as importantly what doesn’t. When you capture the moment in photography it is so much more than just pointing the camera at a scene and clicking the shutter button. If something or someone captures a particular quality, feeling, or atmosphere, they represent or express it successfully. Lets take a second to look at the definition of the verb Capture: When I thought about it in more detail I realised that in fact it was the word Capture that was the most important word that I was trying to express to other people. You wouldn’t be wrong after all moment by its very definition is a point in time at which something happens.Īfter using these words many times over even though I knew what I meant by the saying it I never really thought about it in much detail and always subconsciously thought moment was the key and the most important word of the three in relation to my photography. See whenever you say capture the moment in photography people naturally think you mean reach for the camera and just shoot the scene that presents itself in front of you. Whenever I am out with fellow photographers one of my favourite sayings I find myself repeating over and over again is Capture the moment and this got me thinking do they fully understand what I mean? Photograph of fallen veteran tree in mist illuminated by early morning light in Worcestershire My passion for photography is driven by always pushing myself to do better, to learn from experiences and try to produce Photographs that truly capture the moment. The more I thought about it I realised that its not just about a beautiful scene but more the pursuit of those magical moments in time. Sounds a bit strange right but I love photography and even though I have a burning desire to be out in the mountains I also love just as much photographing the ocean, woodland and nightscapes. I eventually came to the conclusion that my aspirations and desires were not the normal popular genres but instead I opted for a totally different one in Capture the moment photography. One question I have been giving some thought too is if I could put the genre of my photography into a specific bucket I enjoy the most which would it be? In these very difficult times for us all at the moment being locked in isolation and not being able to get out with the camera I have been doing quite a lot of soul searching and asking tough questions of my own photography.
