When is good enough not good



When good enough is not good enough

Some things I have been thinking…

With the growth of digital photography it seems that everyone is becoming a photographer. Even the newest phones capture digital images with enough quality to produce excellent prints. All the tools are now affordable. And, one thing is becoming our new picture normal – good enough is good enough. Yes, today folks are settling for OK images.

With the ease of use and instant satisfaction that today’s digital camera provides, it appears many people today fail to appreciate the knowledge, skills and artistic touch a professional photographer can give them. Instead, many folks today lower their portrait expectations. Is good enough really good enough when your key memories need to be captured. For example, many parents are less than pleased with their high school senior’s pictures AND yet fail to invest in a professional photographer to get quality portraits. Is good enough really good enough?

Capturing an heirloom portrait is more than positioning people and clicking a lot of times. Quality portraiture is painting with light. It takes experience, insight and talent to create a portrait that brings tears of joy. These qualities do not appear by accident. Rather, these qualities are acquired over time by craftsmen who are dedicated to creating only the best.
