Be inspired


Whether photographing children for fun or profit, paying attention to your creative journey, past and present, helps you develop your own individual style or signature. That signature enables you to create more captivating, inspiring, and authentic photographs.

If you ask ten people to photograph the same child in the same environment, you will see ten different approaches and styles, because the eyes of the photographer are inevitably filtered by their past and their personal vision (whether they know it or not).

So why not hone in on this tendency and begin to develop your own vision and style? A good place to start is by studying the masters of the art of photography. Absorbing the work of other photographers can help you see what you do and don't like, which is the very beginning of identifying your own style.

Nothing is wrong with learning the way of the masters as you amble along your path. But, as you do this, honor yourself, as you have embedded in your soul your own style and vision, which is waiting fervently to be noticed and tapped into.

Along the way, go ahead and learn the skills and approaches of others, but eventually your very own style starts to surface and resound.

tip:

Pernah tak kita terfikir apa yang memberi inspirasi mendalam ke atas diri kita dalam melakukan sesuatu? Selalunya, yang dah bergelar ibu, anak2 adalah inspirasi mereka. Apa yang dilakukan oleh anak2 sentiasa mendatangkan kedamaian dalam hati. Cuba lihat suasana dan persekitaran di sekeliling kita pula. Kadang2 apa sahaja yang berada dalam rumah kita dapat dijadikan inspirasi untuk lebih kreatif. Setiap ruang dan bilik memberi mood yang berbeza-beza. Cahaya, warna, dan bentuk disekeliling juga boleh menguji setakat mana kekreatifan kita. Cuba ambil gambar dalam pelbagai sudut dan jangan sesekali takut untuk melakukan sesuatu yang baru. Ada fotografer yang hanya memerlukan satu dinding kosong untuk mereka kreatif berkarya, ada pula yang memerlukan ruang yang cantik dan tersusun, ada pula memerlukan teksture2 yang menarik. Terpulang kepada anda untuk menentukan daya kreativiti masing-masing.
