Adam’s Philosophy


Artistic Photography is creative, imaginative, inventive, inspired, and is truly art. Anybody can snap a picture of an object, subject (person) or landscape, but basically that is all you have, an ordinary picture of an object, subject or landscape. What makes the picture art is when you can feel and connect to what the artist was trying to convey through their work; i.e. the picture.
This principle holds true in every form of photography. Take Portraiture for example. Portraits are a portrayal, likeness, representation and description of a subject. A portrait should speak to the viewer, again, making us feel and connect to the subject, almost like telling a brief story about them. Without this connection, the portrait is nothing more than just an ordinary picture.
