A photograph is a captured memory. A photograph is an image that narrates a story. Every photograph has a story behind it. A lot goes into the making of a good photograph. A good photograph expresses emotions such that the viewer can feel it. It makes the particular image or person or scenery come to life.
A photograph is all what the photographer wants it to be. The thought behind a good photograph is an essence to capture the real. A good photograph is one that looks realistic. For a good photograph the light needs to be adequate and right. A perfect lighting can create a perfect photograph. The creator of a photograph is the person capturing it as well as the person posing in it. They need to form a connection for a photograph go grasp the right balance of emotions. A good photograph is one that is able to draw viewers towards it.
A good photograph is one in which the viewer can feel the emotions behind the captured image. Every form of expression should be felt just by looking at the photograph. The camera is only an instrument between the photographer and his imagination. The photographer possesses the power to make the photograph breathe. Photographs recall memories and trigger the same emotions that were once felt in past. It is quite intriguing how a memory can be captured and relived through the medium of photographs.
The miracle of photography, of its so-called objective image, is that it reveals a radically non-objective world. There is a silence that lurks in every photograph but in a good photograph the viewer can interpret the silence. It speaks much more than spoken words. A good photograph is created with the perfect lighting and the perfect mood. It creates an aura that takes you through a time travel. It makes you forget the present and sink in the past. There really are no rules for a good photograph. The photographer should connect to the object being captured. There should be a link formed between the two. That bond is what creates the magic in a good photograph.
I write here about a good photograph because photographs take us back to the past. It brings forth lost time and lost people. It brings joy and sorrow too. A photograph is a small thing in our lives. But the thought and the idea that goes into it’s making brings many emotions alive. They hold little importance to some, while some have an attachment to photographs. The camera, the photographer, the object being captured and the time that it takes place; all together form a wonderful story, which touches the heart and passes away gently.
I would like to end by saying a few words that have a larger meaning. Sometimes when we run out of words, a smile can speak more or our eyes can communicate better. And here I say that photographs form a good medium to communicate emotions and feelings. So when you fail to express through words, photographs can work the magic. One’s emotions and feelings can well into a photograph. It could be a photograph to click of something into which you transfer your emotions; as well as a photograph of yourself where your eyes speak for you.
