Humility
Photo by Luna, 13, Mexico
Photography can be a great teacher of humility. It invites us to notice and celebrate the smallest of things that wouldn’t be in our line of sight if it hadn’t been for the camera in our hands.
Learner’s Tip 📸
Notice how beautifully overwhelming Luna’s stalks appear. Thanks to her clever perspective, these elegant giants with their perfectly defined eyelashes seem larger than life. Remarkably they allow us to relax into feeling a little less significant 😉
Notice also how Luna arranged this minimal palette of cool blue tones and soft charcoal silhouettes in a mixture of diagonals.
They allow the eye to travel through the photo and even suggest movement where there isn’t any - the result is an image we want to keep looking at, the one that effortlessly takes us somewhere.
