“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” – Ansel Adams. The art of photography is more than just angles, equipment, lighting and Photoshop. From planning and conceptualizing to implementation and execution, a lot of mental and physical work goes into capturing the perfect picture – one that is actually worth a thousand words.
