Choosing a Photographic Subject
For more than eight years, Nikolos Robinson has been working as a photographer at his own studio, IntuitionPhotos. He covers school portraits, weddings, and parties, and is also familiar with scenic, fashion, food, and wildlife subjects. Throughout his career, Nikolos Robinson has demonstrated an understanding of digital and traditional printing, lighting, angles, and subjects.
In photography, the subject, as one might expect, plays a critical role in conveying intended emotions or thoughts. For this reason, the photographer must be selective when choosing a subject. Photos do not look good if there are multiple important subjects in one image. Instead, it’s better to take a new photo with each subject being the focal point of its own picture. Further, certain subjects do not always work well with some photographers’ intentions. As a hypothetical example, photographers trying to take a picture that conveys anger should not make a flower the subject.
When choosing a subject, photographers should focus on shooting something they are interested in or have a personal connection with. Taking pictures of a favorite band in concert or of a special place can create deeper, more meaningful images. This stays true even if the picture doesn’t succeed on every technical level.
Photographic subjects can also be topical and represent a period of social, political, or economic uncertainty. These images stand out for their emotional impact and are often popular with viewers. The same is true of funny subjects that create a sense of absurdity that can lighten a viewer’s mood.
