The Silk Purse

The Silk Purse - image by Trident Photography

What separates the real photographers from the guys who bought a nice camera? The ability to create an image. I am not merely talking about taking a nice picture, anyone can do that when the conditions are right. I am talking about “turning a sows ear into a silk purse” so to speak. This is about creativity in composition, location, and lighting. Here is an example of a shot I made in the tiny bathroom at the hotel.
