Light is the photographic medium par excellence; it is to the photographer what words are to the writer; color and paint to the painter; wood, metal, stone, or clay to the sculptor.

Two factors thus emerge as requisites of success in the field of creative photography. First, the subject must be photogenic. Second, its re-creation in a photograph must be based upon technical knowledge, guided and supported by artsitic inspiration.

Before you shoot an irresistible subject, mute all your senses except sight to find out how much is left for the camera to record.

Don't look for "depth" but instead search for subject aspects which prove the presence of depth.

Human vision is untrustworthy, subjective and selective. Camera vision is total and non - objective.

No one can do inspired work without genuine interest in his subject and understanding of its characteristics.

(1) The more thoroughly a photographer explores his subject with the camera (i.e., the more pictures he makes), the more he sees and the better his chance of getting good results. (2) Even slight changes in subject approach can make significant differences in the effect of the picture.
