Right there in those moments
Wholesale ######## Oakleys, that is why I love photography! It's not so much in the thrill and fun of snapping the pictures but in the off guard moments when some very real, stark honest reflection of humanity comes out of my camera and is born forever into the world.
2. Ask as few questions as possible. There is always a ton of information in the script that should let you make an educated choice and your job is to make choices, not ask the director for some. Some actors may argue with me but I have to push back and say I'm right here. In the 30 or so auditions I read for last week, about half the actors asked some form of, "What are you looking for?" to the producers...and the answer was the same in every case..."Let's see your interpretation and if we need to make any changes, we'll let you know". I have never been in a room where the producers wanted to direct an actor before they had seen the actors preparation first. That's why they use actors and not robots...you bring your own personality to everything and you might be the person they are looking for, so bring your A game and show them what you've got.
What would otherwise happen in one moment and be gone the next is forever captured and held tight by photography! What better thing in the world is there to love?
The best types of photographs are those that come unrehearsed
Wholesale Polo Hats, unscheduled, and without prompting. It's the moment when my little sister leans forward in her beautiful white dress and catches the lips of her new husband for the first time as a wife. It's the moment my little girl takes the stage for her very first dance recital, only to kick her tap shoes into the stage and throws a screaming, crying fit of anxiety.
In these pictures I often see a glimmer in someone's eye that tells me they are not happy or a smile so deniably gleeful and exhilarated that the happiness of that moment has touched that person forever. These tend to be raw, un-posed pictures snapped at random moments when the subjects and myself least expect anything profound to be revealed.
There are several other questions people ask like, "Should I sit or stand"...etc that are also unnecessary. While some humor that demonstrates your confidence and amicability can be helpful and won't hurt (don't try it unless you are super comfortable), worrying about what they 'want' is unnecessary and won't get you the job. The only thing that will get you the job is being awesome. You should learn all that from an on camera audition class. That is the place to make mistakes. Other unhelpful questions such as, "What is my frame...what is my eye line...will the cameraman follow me?", etc. are things that only make you worry about what it is that you are doing. Think about it. You have a really great preparation based on your interpretation and then you ask some questions and they tell you that everything you have prepared is wrong...then what? You're mentally, if not physically, screwed. Better to do your thing and then let them re-direct.
A lot of my photography would never interest anyone else in the world
Wholesale Kansas City Royals Hats, but every now and then I will take a picture that stops me cold. It tends to be the pictures that show something that occurred in the flicker of a fraction of a second that I would have never even recognized if it weren't for the magically timed flash of the camera.
Then you have the softer moments of nature that seem to be happening just for my entertainment. For instance, the bee slipping out of a newly opened flower like a lover rushing home in the morning dew or the multitude of birds that flock to the trees in my front yard all summer long.
I believe that people who love photography have a certain passion and curiosity for life. They are not content to let the smallest, most mundane things that occur in the world go unnoticed. They are excited at the mere thought of discovering the unknown and getting up close and personal with every aspect of this world.
From rare moments of humanity to everyday encounters with the wild, everything can be captured forever by photography. Things that would otherwise go unnoticed get drawn into the light and focused on until they are seen and admired around the world.
There is no simple answer to why I love photography. What can be captured in a picture goes well beyond what could ever be captured with words. While aiming through the viewfinder and searching for the perfect angle, the perfect flicker of light, and the perfect smile, grimace, scream, or flock of hair, there is a sense of calmness and peace that comes over me. It's as if nothing else exists beyond the reach of my zoom button.
