Photography: Where you stand, how you see the world, and how you make pictures \u00e2\u20ac\u201d it is all a matter of perspective.<\/p>\n

Definitions of Perspective<\/h2>\n
\"Van

For example,<\/p>\n

Definition 1: Perspective as artistic interpretation of the world:<\/h3>\n
\"My
My artistic perspective of the world is that the world is a beautiful and joyful place. I try to make uplifting pictures of Cindy, which will inspire my viewer. Berlin, 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\n Perspective: Your artistic vision of the world. Your opinion of the world and reality.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Definition 2: Perspective as angle of camera lens<\/h3>\n
\"Low

Also,<\/p>\n

\n Perspective: The angle you photograph the world with your camera. What lens and focal length you use. What direction you aim your lens (low perspective looking up, or high perspective looking down).\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Therefore in photography your perspective in the mental and artistic sense and your perspective in terms of the angle you shoot is what makes photographs.<\/p>\n

\n

Anti-objectivity in photography<\/h2>\n
\"Silhouette

If photography is a matter of perspective, realize:<\/p>\n

\n All pictures you make are subjective.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That is what makes you a great visual artist \u00e2\u20ac\u201d that you interpret the world according to your own lens or perspective of the world.<\/p>\n

\"Selfie

For example, I want my photography to be positive. I want to inspire my viewer to love their lives, and not to waste life.<\/p>\n

I want my photos to uplift, motivate, and inspire my viewer. Also, most of my viewers are fellow photographers. Therefore my ambition is to help encourage and empower all photographers to paint their own subjective reality \u00e2\u20ac\u201d to assert their own artistic vision.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Do you have artistic confidence in yourself?<\/h2>\n
    \"Sunset

    Do you believe that your artistic perspective of the world is unique, and that you should share your artistic vision with the rest of the world?<\/p>\n

    \n I say, yes.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    As a photographer, you have a unique perspective of the world.<\/p>\n

    We all decide to photograph different things. Depending on what we photograph, we dictate importance.<\/p>\n

    For example, if you decide to photograph something, or a person, you are saying:<\/p>\n

    \n This person, scene, or object is important. I am blessing it by photographing it.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    For example, I love my sister ANNETTE KIM<\/a> with all my heart and soul. I believe in her artistic abilities, and her creative power. I want to empower her, and therefore Cindy and I have been giving her a HAPTIC INDUSTRIES<\/a> internship \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and she has helped us produce the books CREATIVE EVERY DAY<\/a> and MODERN PHOTOGRAPHER<\/a>.<\/p>\n
