  1. THE CREATIVE ACT

    15 Comments

    Sydney Fashion Photographer - Del Playa Drive Photoshoot. The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box. – Henri Cartier-Bresson

    I think these really are the perfect words to describe what we photographers do. In a sense we hunt out the perfect photo. I know that I wait for it, obsess about it, plan for it, but at the end of the day, it usually comes down to a second. A second here or there; and you end up with the perfect selection of photos or ones which are just ok.

    In a race, a second, or even a fraction of a second, really is the difference between coming first and last.

    Photography is the same.

    I always want to come first.
