Smash Notes
What Makes a Great Photograph
at 31:54
Answer
Sam Abell has been a National Geographic Photographer for 35 years and an inspiration to Christopher P. Michel. He is not just a photographer, but a philosopher who takes pictures.
Sam taught Christopher to make the best photographer he can, every time he picks up his camera. It does not mean you would always make the best photographer, but when you put your best effort, using all the right techniques, you increase your chances of getting the best image.
Next time you take photo, even if it's just with your iPhone, instead of taking 50 photos, slow down and take one or two photos, but visualize what you want to get out and get that shot.
