Connecting with the Subject....

I always wonder how some photographers can shoot for less than 15 minutes and think they got a shot. Other than red carpet, where, it in itself is a art form. It's next to impossible to be able to shoot the perfect picture without feeling a connection to your subject be it a person, place or a thing. And if dear reader you disagree, which your entitled to do. I just want to leave you with a few thoughts...

We travel the world to see foreign lands mostly because of a picture in a magazine, or some type of periodical.
We emulate and support our celebrities be it a sports star, actor or politician. Based on pictures and images conveyed by a photographer connecting with a subject. Think of Marilyn Monroe or any album cover that sells in which the music is terrible.

Well, I have a 7:15 Call time. Which means I have to cut this short. Below please find the amazing Hope Railey as well as a few other shots from the week and before.
