I went to a lecture recently by a photographer who described his work as "painting with light." I like that idea and if my subjects weren't moving a million miles a minute, I'd be doing some painting of them myself. Of course, light is a big part of what I do, but very few people I photography are static, thus no still canvas...and I love this. Even my corporate headshot clients are moving, or talking, or laughing before the shot -- and I encourage this.
Here are some little movers. Now they were so cute, they each looked like little Botticelli cherubs, speaking of painting. But my canvas was the backyard and I was moving, running, with my "brush" -- the camera.
It's the best way to get that unexpected moment.
