TAKING A PHOTOGRAPH

Taking of photographs during memorable events and leisures can be beautiful when a good camera and photographer is available. However, a good camera and photographer without a good appearance and posture of the person to be photographed would be a disaster.

In a strict sense, there can be no deception in taking a photograph. There is a limit to which Photo Editors can go with relation to beautifying a picture. If they edit on the skin and it looks smooth, change the colour, add external features not present in the original picture; the bodily posture cannot be perfectly edited without a notice.

The style with which one poses in taking a photograph is the style with which oneself would appear in the picture. One’s life speaks of one’s death. The way we lay our bed is the way we sleep on it. As we are careful when taking photographs to ensuring good photos; let us be careful in the way we live.
