Many reasons why my family and I would take photos is to capture the moments and have them always remembered in picture form, as well as to take photos of beautiful memories and artefacts or sites that we may never see again.
Going through my old holiday photos and comparing some of the most special ones. Although all the images were so different from each other and taken at many different times, they all gave me the same feeling when I was looking back at them, it was this joyful happiness, and feeling of freedom. Sometimes taking photos whilst you’re out and about can be a lot, and ruin the moment whilst other times it could so important and could be an image that you’ll treasure for ever.
I believe that for photographers who’re inexperienced or just everyday people who take photos with their phones they can sometimes devalue the importance of an image, however it’s done just so you can look back on the photos and find the perfect one that capture it the best. As well as, good proper photographers usually don’t take too many photos of the same position. They’ll take a few and then move on to the next position etc. because they don’t need to take so many because they have the skill set needed.
