You pay almost anything for a great photographer. Especially for a wedding. You want to capture moments you can look back at and instantly remember that time, that conversation, why you’re laughing in the photo. The photographer you chose is most likely worth the price you pay.
Among the many things that a photographer must consider he/she makes it look easy. They seamlessly know what to do. To us it just looks like they point a camera and press a button. That very ego is what makes us try the same thing and notice how awful the pictures we take are.
They have put in the time. They have experimented. They tried, failed and adjusted.
In photography the aperture is a hole that lets light into the camera. With ease a great photographer will make adjustments to their aperture to let the perfect amount of light in.
So the takeaway from this is, are you allowing in enough light into your life? Are you seeing things in your life the way they need to be looked at? We can replace the word light with something else. Love. Grace. Rest. Space. Patience. Time. Stillness.
There are hundreds of words, thousands. Are you making adjustments to your aperture in life so that you are setting the right conditions? That’s the point. Are you influencing the right parts of your life so that you can create something beautiful. This is not a photography 101 course. It’s about how you see things, reminding you of your control and tapping you on the shoulder to tell you that life requires constant adjustment.
