The biggest challenge when including people as an element in our compositions is to clearly reveal that hidden, intangible ‘element’ that lies beneath. This involves having compassion and understanding for your subject. The practice is a combined process using instinct and technique. It’s about everything working together. The combination of elements in the frame, the surrounding context of the subject, and how they interact with their surroundings. In addition, the definitive gesture leading up to that precise moment in time when the shutter is released. Allowing for spontaneity in your image making and most importantly trusting your visual instincts.
Richard Martin is a long-time contributor to Photo Life magazine and pursues photography as a medium of visual expression. He is best known for his unique vision with a personal style characterized by a strong sense of composition, color, and the use of light. His work combines an architectural love of geometry, pattern and texture with a painter’s sensitivity to color, light, and composition. Richard inspires participants with his photography and visual design workshops, tours, and seminars around the world.
