#360 On this episode of The Beginner Photography Podcast, we continue the ten-part Photography Manifesto series by tackling the third rule:
Moment matters most in photography, not camera settings.
I encourage you to focus on capturing life's moments and define a moment as subject matter, timing, and composition. I also share the 3 step process to capturing better moments. I provides examples of moments and emphasizes that photography should capture life as it happens.
THE BIG IDEAS
- Moment Over Mechanics: The essence of a great photograph is the moment it captures, not the technical settings behind it.
- Photography Is Personal: The best shots have meaning for you or your subject—not just for viewers online.
- Visualization Drives Results: Pre-visualizing what you want to capture helps you notice and anticipate exceptional moments.
- Patience Pays Off: Being willing to observe and wait often results in the most compelling, story-rich images.
