Is your Camera Candid?
The photos that land on this post are generally taken by a digital camera.
I love photography, hence, my passion prevents me from owning a camera. Oh, I have owned them, but to me, it is a dangerous electronic apparatus which I get easily obsessed with.
So, I focus on the photo. Uniqueness, lighting, subject, candidness; these and possibly other elements determine it's attraction which then leads to the value of the photo.
With a camera, a 'feel good' digital camera can make a novice feel and look like a accomplished photographer.
High pixel count + zoom capability + convenience + style + price (be it a Canon or Nikon) = the "feel good" for me.
The right camera matters, but ultimately, it all starts and ends with the one taking the picture.
As for the actual taking of the picture, it is all about what you are trying to accomplish with the photo. Whether it is just a snapshot you are looking for or the perfect shot, always consider lighting, positioning, creativity, uniqueness and candidness.
The ability to make a pose (selected or intentional) look candid is an under rated element. We have more control over it than we may realize.
For me, it drives the value of the photo up. Now, if the picture captures unintentional candidness, then great! But to create it when is not there, is where the skill and experience of the photographer is needed.
The photo determines the success, so look for any flaws to improve on going forward, until you are able to get the perfect photo ... each and every time you capture an image.

Lights by Lamps
Depends on the lamp and how it is used. Whether its adding to the decor ...or... his hidden from view altogether. The wrong lamp can reduce the attraction of the light along with the lamp due to style, positioning and/or functionality,
Ultimately though, it is about the light. The right amount of light with the right use and view of the lamp tends to create ambiance. Creative or unintentional; the kind of ambiance is up to you.
The right ambiance, at the very least, must be practical and purposeful in it's functionality. However, if you can maximize the effort to it's potential, it adds to the attraction, resulting in fashion lighting.
A lamps potential can be reached through versatility of the creativity. Lamps that can provide low lighting, focused lighting, or practical lighting, enable the potential of the lamp to be reached.
But when no artificial lighting is needed from the lamp due to an abundance of natural lighting, the lamp stands alone! It's all about the lamp at that point. Ensure you are stating what you want when it comes to the look of the lamp. It has to be considered which is why I tend to lean away from your standard lamps. The more you notice, well, the longer you look.
From a spectrum of elegance to artistic; modern to antique; table lamps to torchieres a lamp can add so much and should not be lightly considered.
