What makes a great photo?<\/h3>\n

\u00a0Its the photo’s ability to talk to you, to evoke an emotion within you.<\/em>\"YoungAfricanWoman_PLynch\"<\/h4>\n

\u201cThis young girl from Johannesburg was looking through the fence at\u00a0<\/em>Khaya Centre Mount Olive<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>a moment before I captured this shot. You could tell she wanted to go inside and experience the love, joy and laughter that was coming through the fence and spilling into the neighbourhood, but for some reason she did not enter. Quickly the longing in her face was replaced with the hardened stare you see here. The moment touched me\u201d. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the most powerful, yet often the most difficult components to master in photography is capturing emotion and feeling.\u00a0 A great image is one that conveys a mood and pulls the viewer into the scene. If a photo tells a story, \u00a0pulls at your\u00a0heartstrings or begs a question, the image has fulfilled its purpose.<\/p>\n

Emotion in a photograph is what helps the viewer connect with a scene. The beauty of a photo is that the same image can evoke different emotions for different people, happiness, joy, sorrow, despair or hope.<\/p>\n

What most photographers would like to achieve is to have\u00a0you experience the emotion they\u00a0experienced while capturing that moment:\u00a0 the real reason the photo was taken in the first place.<\/p>\n
