Learning to Shoot: People (and Dogs)

Photographing places is already a challenge. Mastering the photography triangle, nailing the focus, and getting the exposure just right is more than enough for a beginner to juggle. But add a person into the frame, and everything changes. Suddenly, it’s not just about technical precision; it’s about capturing emotion and personality. There’s no f-stop or light meter setting for that—it goes beyond the mechanics of the camera. In that moment, the camera becomes more than just a tool; it becomes a window into the human experience where the beauty of connection and emotion can’t be measured by any lens or meter.
