Henri said it best






"To photograph is to hold one's breath when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."

- Henri Cartier-Bresson


Some wonderful feedback here - which derived from an image that was created during a project for a resort.

There are times in which I'm too close to the nuts and bolts of my work and fail to possess the objective perspective that a fresh set of eyes inevitably do. Reassurance is usually just around the corner and if I'm lucky it arrives when a client not only is blown away with the results, but tells me so too.
In this particular case, the creative director was ecstatic and told me that it was "the most poetic image he has ever been associated with."
It would be fair to say he went nuts.
Personally, I have strong doubts about it being "the most poetic..."
But I'll take that compliment, because I love the image too.
