I was riding home today with a friend/coworker, discussing photography. I was trying to figure out what I had that other photographers didn't, in the perspective of selling myself to my clients. Every photographer has their 'thing'. Some do very well with lighting, while others use amazingly cute props. Most, now days, can edit Bill Cosby right into the wedding photos if you request it! Here's my deal: I like honest photography, meaning photography that doesn't over edit or hide the true subject of the picture. I like photography that tells a story, catching candid moments, sometimes, in a beautiful angle we don't realize is there. It's finding the subject's personality. The little quirks that, with the blind eye, don't seem that special. It's about finding the right angle. This is a skill I've been told I have all along. It seems strange to me, but everyone tells me I'm such a positive, upbeat person. Well, I guess I never thought that was true. Until I started to look at my photography, and I realized my love for people. Through photography, I have found the beauty in individuals I wouldn't normally see with the 'blind eye'. I am so thankful photography has become a part of my life. It brings me closer to people, and therefore, closer to God.
