Today in class i talked a lot about unity and moments. The idea that unity happens when nothing in the frame acts to distract you from the meaning of the photograph. Everything contained in the frame acts to support the meaning and understanding. Composition, angle, lens choice and many other things are so important to our communication and the viewers understanding of a photograph. Keeping clean and easy to read is one way, having backgrounds that are not busy make your subject hard to read. In capturing moment we cannot always control--that fraction of a second where an action is captured like no other time cannot be planned out. I posted the wedding pic below as an example of a moment. Its a group of people coming into the room moments after the bride finishes putting on her dress and they all get a look at her. That alone is a moment with facial expressions and reactions from her mom and maids. The addition of making this picture at the exact moment one of the mades also made her picture makes this like no other fraction of a second that day.
