Yes, a photograph tells something unnoticed and untold story. Even so, without telling something from that certain photograph; The one who will be the subject will feel delighted and grateful of how wonderful he/she looks. That’s why, when a person wants to be photographed, it’s obvious she/he wants to stand out in an image. A portrait photography is the perfect one to give joy to a subject.

There are different types of photography and obviously, there are different feelings that a subject desires to have. Maybe, different from the viewers but we must understand what the clients want but not what the viewers want to see. If you’re being paid to freeze his/her moment. Of course, the emotions in the photograph must be prioritized first.

Even for audiences who want to see something spectacular. Neglect the audience's love to see for now because what’s important is the clients to feel satisfaction from the shots.

Of course, this is only my own opinion since I’m just a beginner. In fact, it’s only been a few days since I own a camera and I must say it’s quite hard compared to a mobile phone. Like it’s very bright when taking shots outdoors especially when the sun is so high. Sometimes I get lost and don't know what to do to make sure the results of the images will be nice.

I took too much time which is not pleasing for clients because it’s like stealing their time. I was trying to create images that would be crispier than they looked. I didn’t stop telling them “I’m sorry and please understand that I must set the 3 basic settings which make beautiful shots.

When the locations change, the settings must be changed as well. If not, the images might be too dark or too bright. I just realized that it’s not an easy job being a photographer. Just imagine I’m not really a one but I already noticed the hard work. Even so, it's fun taking shots.

I love to see happy faces. I could tell they're enjoying the moment and this time they’re obviously feeling free. No unwanted people, unwanted words and no unwanted presence. Simply being her/his and the people they’d love to be with.

There are times too that unscripted postures and projections are the best picture we could ever have. No behind the scenes and no preparation. It's the real expression of someone that has been feeling at the moment. Yeah, I’m talking about the stolen shots.

Yes, photography is fun especially when the one being photographed is having fun.
