I am going to be a first-time aunt any day now too!
Oh! Congratulations, Aunty Lydia. 😉 Aren’t babies so exciting and such a blessing?! 🙂
And, thanks for all those tips and thoughts! After reading it I said to my sister, ‘Where else would you find tips like these?’ (Ones that actually encourage each other in God’s ways!) And my answer is definitely – only Lenspiration! 🙂 So, they’re great tips!
Oh my, I’m afraid that was rather long-winded!
It wasn’t long winded at all! But instead, such an encouragment.
Here’s where I start my thought process: what am I trying to say in my photos? I’d take some time to think pretty purposefully through why I might pose someone how I pose them. . . if our eyes see things in a wholesome, godly, righteous, Christ-honoring, Christ-exalting manner, and we utilize good composition to tell a “clear story”, we can be sharing that biblical worldview with whoever views our photo!
Yes! This is so good! Brings to mind the quote – A picture paints a thousands words. I read a book awhile back on images/pictures. And it said – “If a picture paints a thousand words, then make it a thousand words of truth.” It made me think about how us as photographers are portraying things through our images all the time. Are we directing people to God and encouraging them in His ways? What words come into peoples minds when they see our photos? Images are so powerful, and it’s exciting and humbling when I think about how our photos can impact someones life!
“a snapshot shows the world what the camera sees, but a successful composition shows the world what you see.”
Love that quote!
And, thanks for those pictures. I like how the wedding rings are prominent. I’m going to try to implement that into my photos!
