This week, in search for emotion and someone to photograph, I think I have over used my model, so I gave him a week off 🙂 I am full of emotions, I took some selfies as I had no one to else available had a busy week at work and did not getting anything done. No grandkids live near any more, because their expressive faces would have been so easy to capture true emotion.
On to a “creative-led” challenge this week! Really the core of what photography is about, the core of EVERY story – Emotion. Strong photos should tell a clear story and evoke feelings in those who see our shots.
What could emotion look like? Perhaps the happiness reflected in the eyes of a child, the look of love shared between a couple, the joy of a team celebrating their latest win on the football field or even the pride of a baker showcasing their latest creation. Human emotions run deep and are varied – we can be pensive, or be battling our inner demons – introspective portraits can tell compelling stories.
Or just happy ….

Absolutely – “the core of what photography is about, the core of EVERY story – Emotion. Strong photos should tell a clear story and evoke feelings in those who see our shots” 😊👍
Funny, I was sure I replied to to this. Yep. that is the aim every time, not always succeeding but aim is there 🙂
And it’s what I aim for
Well done!
Thanks Dawn 🙂
I especially like that last shot’s soft look and feel.
Thanks, glad as that is the one i submitted. Not the best possible shot, but participation is the main goal.
If the second photo is happy, it’s definitely outward happiness hiding inner turmoil.
Thanks Matt, that is so nicely said 🙂
