InnerView by Folake (Carmella): Q&A With Me (Born Divine)

Q: If you could explain how you feel when you are behind the camera. What would that feeling be?

A:  It's a feeling of control. Just the thought of feeling like "I can make reality look however i wish it to be."  As a photographer you understand that just by shooting from a specific angle changes the mood or feel of the photo.  You're able to dictate what's important and what's not important according to depth of field and perspective alone.   I personally get a natural high - because the shoot has to be poetic and convey some sort of character.  An example would be my shoot with Gabrielle.  As beautiful as she is, the character in her photos displays a sort of tension - calm tension.  A vibe of contemplation; that's poetic...  If i can sum it up - I would say the feeling is powerful, having the ability to capture emotion, expression...character, as well as the beauty of the individual.
Thanks for the question Folake
