Blog Entry #5

“I just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul.” ~Mary Ellen Mark




I don't agree with this statement at all.  You have as much a right to photograph someone as you do to look at them.  You can loose so much organic beauty by simply alerting the subject of your presence or intentions.  There are certain situations where you can work with a subject to achieve better results, but there are already way to many photos out there with fake expressions or cheesy poses.  I believe the best way to get a great photo is by putting in extra effort and planning.
