Snap of the month, August 2014


Background: Went to Burning Man again this year. This was The Temple.

Thoughts: When shooting someone else's art work, I feel like I'm almost cheating. It feels as though all of the hard work has been done for me already! For example, here I just rolled up on a sunny day and BOOM! the picture presented itself. When shooting artwork, it feels important to find a new angle or a new take on it that others haven't. I say, find the angle that best expresses what you see in the piece. For example, The Temple to me is a very spiritual place; it is beautiful and full of emotion. This photo I think expresses a lot of happiness and the beauty of the place. I'm sure hundreds if not thousands of others captured The Temple from a very similar angle, but the way I chose to edit and the exact angle are all mine and are my expression of what the temple means to me.
