Vision

It’s more than what you see with your eyes and with the camera.

Vision is about how you see things with your eyes and how you interpret them with you camera.

It’s really easy to get caught up in the race to get the newest, bestest, most expensive, and most technologically advanced gear.  I get trapped in those desires as well.  There’s nothing inherently wrong with upgrading your camera when you need to or are required to.  But don’t delusion yourself into thinking that getting more megapixels translates to more “better” images.  It doesn’t.

That’s why we talk about vision often here at Your Photo Tips.

Whether it’s the visual journey or tapping into your inner vision a photographer’s vision is what can really make you unique.  It can give you a voice that separates you from the pack.

Vision is also about tapping into those things that compel you as a human being.  The things that you are most interested in.  The things that you are most passionate about.  The things that you are most curious about.

These are the feelings and emotions that make you unique as a person.  They are also the things that will make you unique as a photographer and an artist.

Perspective

Nobody else in the entire world has the same unique makeup you do.  Nobody else in the world has lived your life AND has your passions, knowledge, curiosities, and wonders.  It’s your unique artistic DNA if you will.

When you’re able to tap into that unique perspective and capture photographs in a way that communicates that unique perspective then you are able to actually say something with your photographs.

It get’s you, as a photographer with perspective, past using photography as an act of representation into the higher realm of interpretation.

Vision AND Perspective

When you combine vision and perspective, as a photographer, you become the type of photographer that shoots with your heart, not with your eyes.  You create a different type of photograph.  You create a photograph that resonates with other people’s emotions.

Ultimately, those are the type of photographs that can move people.  They move people to laughter, to tears, and maybe they move people to action.
