To me, a photograph must make you feel something to be truly appreciated. Why else would you want to look at it? I like to photograph normal everyday things. Things that conjure up a childhood memory or a touching milestone. Landscapes are nice but I'd rather shoot subjects in an intimate setting, close up. Scanning your eyes across an orchid can be just as intense as scanning across a landscape--but much more personal. Though, I have to say, I'd love to visit the Badlands and shoot one day. When shooting flowers, I prefer to have them look like they are posing for me--as if they were striking a pose for a 1940s Vogue magazine. Orchids are fun to shoot because so often they appear to be singing. That's why I like to shoot orchids in bunches of two or three or even more. They look like church choirs in their colored robes. |
