A Guide To Mastering Mary Wray Photography

By Sandra Ross


Pictures are worth a thousand words. Since the drawings on cave walls, man has been trying to capture moments for eons. Mary Wray photography has since advanced to include digital images. It is an art form. There are professional photographers who have trained for years to be able to manipulate lighting and balance image composition for the best results. Some of this information is available to amateur photographers.

Amateur photographers have access to smartphones with great cameras and ability to edit images. Aside from that, there is cheap equipment whose capacity is enough to produce excellent pictures. The cost of reproduction is also pretty low with some choosing to reproduce themselves instead of using a service. This is not to say that an amateur has arrived. There is still more one can do to hone their skill.

This art form comes in varieties. It is classified by color, image, and other factors. There is black and white photography, which makes use of contours, lighting, and shadows to represent a subject.

This form of art must be approached with the highest degree of open-mindedness. To truly get the essence of the subject, one must clear their mind of all judgment. It is no use looking at something as good or bad then expect that not to be evident in the image. All subjects have energy. This energy is what makes for a great and revealing image. Some professionals advice one to stop using their eyes. One is advised to listen. Not listen with the ears but with the soul. How does one connect with the subject? What about the subject makes it worth a picture? What is that intrinsic quality that one just has to capture? See the story, not the object.

Art is not art without a human element. A machine would not see the essence of a subject. A camera would not see a story in the eyes of a person. One should endeavor to fully engage the subject. To sense the element with their soul rather than their senses. The subject will usually reveal itself. It does not need to be sought.

It is only prudent to take several shots of the same image. This provides a bank of images to choose from. As one is going through the images, they are able to understand the subject and thus choose the picture that best portrays it. Taking that man shots also provides one with a basis for judgment of their skill. They are informed of areas needing improvement.

Natural is best. Natural lighting. Natural habitat. Natural smiles. The latter is especially important. A faux smile will easily be detected by one look at the picture. If one has to, they can crack a joke right before the shot is taken. This will help them capture a moment of purity.

In some cases, one might have enough passion to want to move from amateur to professional. Apart from passion, there is need to gain expertise in the use of equipment. One must learn how to use the resources at their disposal to make the images as exquisite as can be.
