Essence

All photos should have a resounding feeling to them; in so many words an essence. They usually spark a memory or evoke an emotion of some sort; the saying is "a picture is worth a thousand words." I'm venturing in the realm of creating emotional art. The viewer will feel whatever the model was feeling or at least know that a feeling was being displayed. It goes back to the  connection with people and being on one accord. When you're dealing with a model,family, bride or groom get to know them as much as possible. People tend to loosen up and become who they are (at time forget the camera is there) if they are comfortable. Next time you shoot remember to attempt to capture the essence that particular moment holds.
