Insight Eye Photography

“Scarlet Mystery” the first time that I learned about “insight” in images.

I just did this for fun and submitted this into competition to see how it would do. The scores ranged from excellent to not accepted. The judge that saved this print said that the image was very representative about the red light district and that the woman is rough looking and did not have a smile for a reason. When I heard this being said I remember thinking what is he talking about? This man had insight and was looking beyond what the image was to see what the story was.

From that day on, I decided to find insight in all the images that I took either professionally or for personal reasons. And I have not looked back.

I had the pleasure of knowing Syngyn a couple of years ago. I have to say that he was the most inquisitive 7 year old that I knew. I instantly thought about him looking stuff up so at the shoot I gave him an old children’s dictionary that had pictures in it and gave it to him to read. Within minutes he was turning pages and showing his mother what he found. In order to get this shot I asked him to look up from the book and this was what I got. His mother told me that this face in the final image was his serious face when he is deep in something that he is interested in.

I usually like to keep up with the kids to see how they are doing but I am unable to reach him due to unforeseen circumstances. Syngyn, if you are seeing this….you are one in a million! Take care of yourself.
