- How to capture an authentic moment

“A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.” -Annie Leibovitz
“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.” Don McCullin
