Emotions in your photographs

In the world of digital era, everyone around us is having a camera. Sometimes in the form of smart phone or a DSLR or now a days a compact mirrorless cameras. And most us are running behind taking a good photograph. But while we do so, we totally forget to enjoy the nature around us. There should be bondage, which allows us feel the environment. Take it all in and suck it inside. It might be in the form of fog, strong winds or just a smell of a little flower growing in the wild. It is so important and that is what makes the photograph. A photographer not just conveys all this through a photograph but it is also shown in your editing and depicted how you exactly felt in that particular moment. 

While i go out with my camera, I usually don’t rush things. I enjoy the process of making a photograph. I see the captured photographs then and there and think what i am exactly liking in it? Does it feels similar to what i am looking right now?? How my eyes are moving around?? Are there any distraction in the photographs?? Could i avoid it?? 

In my above two photographs, there are buildings and a road with heavy traffic flowing in the background which you can’t see in here because of the fog. May be anyone would have bothered to look at this photograph if there wasn’t fog around.

When i capture a photograph, i make sure, i have got all the information in the photograph to process it later as i felt it while i was there. The colour tones are usually kept very much similar to what i saw there in that moment. 

It becomes specially tough when you go out on an earlier morning shoot and start to capture in the blue hour and the light transforms from Blue to Golden yellow in few mins. Keeping colour tones similar or pulling it together in post processing is very important. Usually, when i go out with my camera, I tend to take a small video of the surrounding which then can be easily used as a reference if i don’t process it in next few days. 

I still remember the morning when i captured these images. All these photographs are made in Milton Keynes, but it very much felt like i am standing on the lake shore in Lake District, UK. The fog was so much dense that the far away things were almost invisible and it allowed me to remove all the distractions in my photograph and just compose with the subjects i like most in that moment. It gave a sense of illusion and felt like a zen moment.

I really feel that if you take a moment and think about what you are capturing, you can make much better photographs which conveys the emotions strongly with your viewer.
