What exactly do you look in your subject when you are taking
a photograph matters the most for making the story line. Suppose if you are clicking
a photo of a kid, what would be your subject? The cliché ans would be, “the kid”.
But that isn’t it. For the photographer the subject is not that kid, it is the
interest in which the kid is involved. Like, if the kid is having an ice cream,
being a photographer your perception should be more beyond then just that little
boy, as his interest is licking an ice cream which brings him joy, happiness, delight
& bliss. Now your interest should be capturing that bliss. You should make your
frame which is composition, keep it focused and wait for the right moment, the
moment that boy is bringing the ice cream close to him, putting his tongue out,
the expression coming on his face while licking it. That should be the
interest of a photographer. Stories can be different but, the mantra is “Interest
of the subject is the subject for the photographer.”
In this photograph I have tried to capture the expression of a little girl who is trying to pull up that heavy load, the expression of the face and body itself defines that its too heavy for her to carry.
