You Never Know What the Photo Will Look Like Until *AFTER* You’ve Shot It.

As photographers, we are not magicians. It is impossible to know with 100% accuracy what your photo will look like until *AFTER* you’ve shot it.

Thus —

When you see something which interests you, just shoot it, and shoot it a lot (at least 10 photos of it).

Then AFTERWARDS you will discover how it manifested as a photo.

Like Garry Winogrand said:

“I photograph the world to see what the world looks photographed.”

Photographs of the world (embodied reality) manifest themselves *DIFFERENTLY* as photos. Therefore consider our own photos as an artistic interpretation of the world!
