The meaning of Capture by Warren Toda

Prisoners or pictures?

JUNE 12, 2013 – YOUR THOUGHTS ARE WELCOME

When did “photograph” become a bad word?

When writing online about their pictures, some folks will use statements like “I captured this on…”, “This was captured at…”, “My favorite capture of the week”, “sunset captures from my vacation”, “holiday captures”, “best wedding captures”, “creative pet captures” and “candid kid captures”.

On sites where viewers can leave comments to posted pictures, people often write things such as “Nice capture!”, “Cool capture!”, “How did you capture that?”, “Lovely detail in that capture” and “I love the feel of this capture”.

There are many sites that offer tips on how to “capture” a winning photo, how to “capture” the perfect picture and how to “capture” your children.

Some professional photographers charge a fee for “digital captures”. Some photographers even use the word “capture” in their business name.

Capture – to take by force, to take prisoner, to seize, to gain control of.

Maybe it’s just me but I find the use of “capture” to be misguided, trivializing and maybe even insulting. Would anyone look at an Ansel Adams photograph and exclaim, “Nice capture!”

Perhaps some people’s understanding or appreciation of photography is somewhat lacking in the digital age. Maybe they think photography is like reaching into a fast-moving river and trying to pull out something interesting before it swims away.

Cameras don’t capture anything. They collect.

Nice collection!

A photographer can record or catch an important moment but photographs don’t capture anything. They reflect, reveal or transform.

Nice reflection! Cool revelation! Great transformation!

Don’t take prisoners. Take photographs.

Photography, My passion by Lilly Maingi

Two lovely beautiful ladies....they are just photogenic.

 When it's all about family, there are no chances to take. This is the union that God ordained to be blissful.

Oh!!! this couple was just beautiful together!!!

 And when you want to ride in Style during your wedding, then you can go that extra mile and get yourself a limo!!!

 There is nothing I enjoy more that carrying out home shoots, you get the best relaxed poses from the clients.

Our Logo.....wuhuuu!!

Clay Enos

I have been looking at his photography, and the portraits quite stunning.

I would love to popularize great photographers by showcasing their work and create a name out of the.....coz really, who is a man who does not appreciate great work!!!

Mugure & Kinya

I have to admit as I was taking these photos of two of my favorite girls.... everything was just perfect, lighting, color intensity, vibrant and above all I had pretty faces to work with.....
I ended up editing a few but I seek to post both natural and edited ones

 Mugure is quite the pretty face, I just love her smile... It just pops!!!!!

A well done Pout!!!!!
Mmmhhh!!! DIVA!!

 If there are eyes I have always admired, are Kinyas....and to imagine she has to hide all that smizing behind a pair of specs....hmmm!! but she did justice to this photo!!!!

Wow the colours just amazing!!!!!

When you look at the past shoots and realize that everyday it's a growing experience.
#photography #growth.

step by step.....a bit of me.

I like doing magazine shots, and with the time I had to....this is a bit I recently stumbled upon.
