Where can you find inspiration for photographs?

Photography Inspiration

If you love life and you're not afraid of the ups and downs of life the inspiration is all around you. It could be a homeless person sitting on a bench with an expression of sadness and hopelessness on his face, to a child running along side the surf at a beach with a puppy. One of the most intriguing photos I can remember was so simple: It was a simple photo of a black man's arm extended out (no back-drop) holding a white baby in the palm of his huge hand. You didn't need words for this photo and I fell in love with it.

I took a very successful photo after an antique car show. I was leaving the car show and driving out into the country to visit my girlfriend. As I was going along an old windy road near a creek right ahead of me was an old man with this dog sitting beside him in the front seat in a old Model T, top down. I pulled over quickly, got out my camera and took the shot from behind. It turned out beautifully and it was like one had gone back in time.

Start getting out and studying people and stop and smell the flowers. Before you know it you won't be able to stop clicking that camera of yours.

Good luck Marcy
