There is a lot that goes into photography beyond pressing a button. Working backwards from the final image, there is printmaking, post processing, the settings used in camera at capture, etc… Before any of these things can occur there is one crucial step every great photographer has mastered. The art of composing a purposeful image with the right elements at the critical moment in order to tell a story.
When practicing photography it isn’t always easy to compose and capture great images that are uniquely yours. Of course you will need good light and interesting subjects, but this isn’t the whole story.
