Jay Maisel's words of wisdom

Jay Maisel's words of wisdom

Quoted from "A day with Jay Maisel"

"I am more interested in photo quality than the pixel quality"

"Life keeps going while you are off chimping" (低頭看相機的LCD)

"You are not composing it, you are cropping it."
composing is managed to shot, cropping is capture the ongoing process.

"just stop walking, wait!"

"what i am looking for is something i haven't seen"

"be open to what happen in your picture"

"when you have permission, it's your responsibility to take it well "

"take one camera, one lens, and just go out shooting"

"if there is no reason to shoot, don't shoot, you got to have a trigger!"

"what makes your shot different from others, lights, gesture, or colors?"

"if you want to explore, don't start with a plan"

Cliff Mautner 是一位20幾年的新聞記者, 之後轉為他當初意想不到的婚禮攝影師, 他對光影的觀察及人與人之間信任的細膩感味他的作品帶來廣受好評, 並獲選為top ten wedding photographer.

我知道他是借由網路攝影學習網站kelby training, 觀看他的指導video學到他對光影的觀察與應用, 也試著拍下我的影像...
