It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't click pictures. People carry a camera with them while travelling, take pictures, keep them as memories, but I don't. I don't even have a camera.
For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.
There are only those certain people where things click - at least for me.
I think that's the strength of photography - to decide the decisive moment, to click in the moment to come up with a picture that never comes back again.
Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter.
Sometimes, you can not click with somebody, and it can feel awkward.
Photography is like a moment, an instant. You need a half-second to get the photo. So it's good to capture people when they are themselves.
The photographers are always around. Wherever I go, they start clicking incessantly. I am always like, 'At least give me a heads-up, as, many times, I look so disheveled. What will people think?'
Photographs aren't accounts of scrutiny. The shutter is open for a fraction of a second.
When that shutter clicks, anything else that can be done afterward is not worth consideration.
