I’m in love with the strangely beautiful vagueness of this extraordinary image.

It appears chaotic, (random even!) and perfectly organised in equal measure.⁣ ⁣We sort of know what we are looking at, yet it’s new and different.⁣ ⁣

It has that elusive quality of freshness and aliveness that artists strive for, yet it’s so quiet, gentle and undemanding. ⁣

Learner Tip 📸⁣
Ask yourself: How literally do you want to represent what you are seeing as a photographer? ⁣ ⁣

Notice how Bautista owns this photo as his creation - if we were there with him looking at the same scene, I doubt we would have seen and captured what he is showing us here. It’s totally unique and completely his own.⁣ ⁣

That’s the beauty and power of photography as a profoundly creative medium: you can literally re-present what’s in front of you to say something new, create an original recipe from the same old ingredients available to us all.⁣ ⁣
