What I love about photography is the evolution of an image. You start out one way thinking this is the best angle, best composition and then your mind begins to see other possibilities. You delve deeper into the subject and then begin to add the necessary elements to make an even better image than you started with. I have been guilty sometimes of throwing the kitchen sink into my photos but eventually I spare down the clutter and focus on the true subject I wanted to make. It is just a matter of seeing deeper into your subject and then exploring the varying light, composition and props that make the image purposeful.
I could have photographed the Calla Lily the usual way by taking an image of the whole flower. But where is the fun in doing that? I like to create an image that can lead a viewer to experience maybe a deeper connection to the subject.
Here I am photographing a firm root in the ground but yet we are free and fluid to explore and spread our wings to see our true nature.
