The power of chance in photography
July 27th, 2008I am showing you guys this shot because I can’t stress enough how important it is to NOT get hung up on “the rules.” It’s good that you all want to know what lens I used, how many lights, f stop etc., however the TRUTH is that I could light a shot with a friggin flashlight and if the expression, or action is CAPTIVATING, then who gives a rats ass about the technical stuff ?
So here is Britania. She’s smacking her lips with this bubble gum. NORMALLY I tell the model to spit that crap out. But I just had a hunch that SHE would make magic with that gum lol. So this brings me to another point. DON’T EVER PUT DOWN THE CAMERA UNTIL YOU YELL WRAP ! Just like an actor never stops acting until the director yells cut !
So Britania is doing her thing and I am snapping away on that shutter. Then there is this short pause, the one where most guys would rest their arm for a couple seconds. I kept my camera against my eye and Britania blows this bubble and hits a pose that ended up being f**kin cool !!!!!!!!
No she’s not wearing a $10,000 couture gown or anything amazing for that matter. But look at this !
Don’t put your camera down. if it gets heavy then hit the gym and build some muscle !

That’s a fantastic photograph – besides the ridiculously sharp image and the great lighting, you snapped the shot at the perfect time – congrats.
