The Power Of Photograph

The Power Of Photograph

Photographers have the power to capture and pause human moments. The nature of photography depends on the illusion of reality. When people see a photograph, they feel it and that shows a true moment of time. Photography has the power to change the perception of people be it anywhere in the world. This is an art that does not need a language to understand. We are surrounded by photography, it is something which we see with our eyes and believe it. Here are a few most important points to understand the power of photography.

As it is said, “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” — Aaron Siskind

Universal Language

Photographs speak the same language. There are no barriers to understanding what is meant by an image or what is the story that an image is telling. Photography touches souls and that's where the understanding comes from. It is a technique to deliver a message by just an image that stands out.

Power to Capture Moments

Photographs have the power to capture moments, be it sad, happy, success, failure, anger, funny, sudden clicks, or anything in the world. It is just a click away. We can capture anything and can relive that moment later in our lives. So, take the camera out and keep shooting.

Reveal Truth

Revealing the truth is another aspect of photography. It lets you decide what is wrong and what is right by seeing the actual truth in an image. One can capture proof of evidence to show the truth behind it. You cannot hide from it.

Freeze Time

With high shutter speed, you can freeze time and can show to your viewer what happens to the things which occur quickly and which we cannot see with our eyes. High-speed photography can freeze an image that is invisible to human eyes.

Connecting People

Photography has the power to move us and our audience. It helps us in connecting with people in different parts of the world. People understand what you are trying to show them through a photo. Social media helps us gain confidence over them and keep them connected.

Business Model

Businesses use this media to advertise their product to convince people into buying their products. A good product photo can help drive more sales as compared to products with no image. It is always used to promote and market any product in any business. Photography also helps in creating social awareness of the product thus increasing sales. One photograph can influence the public at large. Nowadays, with social media, it has become one of the strongest weapons to influence people. You can drive the interest of the viewer either in a good way or negatively.

Nostalgic

When we look at the images of our past we feel nostalgic thinking about the tough time we had to go through then to reach till here. We laugh and smile seeing at the old pictures. The power of photography makes us feel nostalgic at times. A nostalgic photograph always has a connection with our present.

The power of photography can be felt only when we click pictures. The camera is just a medium to connect with people. As said, “I like making images that from a distance seem kind of seductive, colorful, luscious and engaging, and then you realize what you’re looking at is something totally opposite. It seems boring to me to pursue the typical idea of beauty because that is the easiest and the most obvious way to see the world. It’s more challenging to look at the other side.” — Cindy Sherman
