In  the photography career, practice & experiment is major activity, One should always adopt this habit to improve the level of photography. But Here I would like to mention that practice is a major part of all professions. Our photography is based on practice and experiment as we all know. As long as we travel for the photography career, we become more habitual for practice and experiments. There is also one darkest side of too much practice and experiment for photography.

Candid Photography ?

-

  Before we proceed, we need to understand the meaning of candid photography, any useless expression, movements capture cannot be CANDID PHOTOGRAPH. Let's understand candid photography in detail. What is candid photography - In simples language, unplanned, no poses defined, no direction, no photography tips and tricks, captured is called candid photography. Where you are lucky enough to get the best expression, movements, and any other poses that defined unplanned shot or candid shot. Most important requirement - I have seen lots of candid shots, but there was a scary facial expression, no attraction, no expression and there was no storytelling at all. The motive of candid photography is without whispering to anyone, you capture a better shot even letting them know your subject. That is yours winning. Pressing the shutter button unnecessarily may spoil your camera shutter, you waste your time and energy and you come back without capturing a better shot. The best way to capture

When photography becomes photocopy

-
Image
    Recently I have met a few beginner photographers and came to know about their job profiles, they are working for an e-commerce company and shooting their products for online selling. Their job starts from morning to evening and ends up shooting same product line, same light condition, same treatment, same clients, same requirement, same indoor photography etc they are getting very less salary for doing all these jobs. In my language, they are photocopying the images and they are very far away from the photography (sorry for that).  In this job scenario, they are only shooting the same requirement and not exploring the creative part of photography. they are bound to follow the same angle, same colour correction, same treatment etc From my point of view, photography cannot be done on a job basis because it is a creative world and not having any dead ends. We photographers are very passionate about the subject, lights, angle, weather condition, indoor high-quality lighting system,

Both of this option carrying one thing common that is photography and the rest is all uncommon. I have always interacted with lots of my clients. They are always asking me to shoot and when I discuss all the requirement before the shoot or preplanning of the photoshoot. My client always ask why all these things are required?
