I think that for the most part I try to convey a feeling or emotion when I shoot. My kids and wife are a great inspiration.

Answer 2

I am a landscape photographer. One of the best I have ever taken was of a stone Hoodoo and a clearing storm in Southern Utah.

I am not sure it produces any emotion beyond the "Oooh, that's pretty" factor.

Answer 11

I consider myself to be a great photographer, and my forte is macro, close up work.  During my stint of learning, growing and taking more and more photos in the process, I cannot pick one single most beautiful.  

However, I do want to explain the concept of some of the ones that I think are most beautiful.  As a macro photographer, I started to notice how I would view the world differently.  I was always looking for smaller, tinier subjects that most people never have the opportunity to see.  I knew I had a method of capturing a new perspective on my subjects.  I also found some beautiful dead leaves, plants, flowers that caught my attention.  Yes, by all means they are vibrant when alive, and show contrasting colors.  But I found a new beauty in the death of these same subjects.  I use to purposely seek out dead pieces when I would visit a nursery, plus, I knew they would not mind me taking them for free.  These dead plants took on a whole new life, so to speak, after death.  Their colors changed, typically to browns, and their textures were coarse, with nooks and crannies.  When photographing them in my studio, I found how gorgeous they looked with different lighting styles coming from different angles.  

So, in this process, I found a new beauty in dead plant life, but it went much deeper than that.  I realized how much it related to human life, and fear of death and dying.  So many people fear getting old and dying.  Yes, we do and will take on a new shape, our skin will have more wrinkles, our hair whiter, and bodies more frail.  99% of people are not looking forward to this time in their life... just as my dead plants go through a process to look as they do, which includes dying.  I believe just as dead plants have a beautiful afterlife, so do humans.  But many are not comfortable with this concept as of yet.  

Thanks for reading!

p.s. If any want to see some of my dead photos email me, and I will direct you to a gallery.

Probably this one of a close up of an autumn sort of oak tree leaf.  The way the leaf was shaped and the excellent light i had, plus some fluke developing made this really professional looking photo.  Its very light and black and white.  I don't think its necessarily beautiful, but the leaf was. I was pretty proud of it any way lol

Answer 20

I took this one photo about 4 years ago. I was up in Big Sur California on hike in a forest full of Redwood. I stopped to take a picture of my friend.

I ended up taking a picture of this small redwood, maybe only 10 years old. The sun filtered by the tall Redwoods but was still shining right on it. It looked like it was glowing.

I think that was the most beautiful picture I ever took...so far :)
