The Creation The World Makes
Step 1. The deeper look that I would like to take into the pictures in this article will show a few different ways to create several pictures. The first picture that I would like to bring up is the spot in the picture within a picture. Another part of this picture within a picture is to spot the picture that your mind sees. The way to do this is by having an extraordinary imagination or being able to see past what other people see.

Nothing is as it seems
In this century and during the time the camera came out, we have discovered a wonderful world in photography. Photos have opened up a world that allows us to immortalize loved ones and moments. The photos last us almost forever, it has the ability to transcend from generation to generation. But today, there is a technology that allows us to turn the images that we do not like so much and modify them and turn them into a work of art.

How to Creepify Your Images
Say you’re an urban explorer, or documentary photographer, or someone who enjoys the creepy aesthetic. You’ve been to some amazingly foreboding locations where you just feel the creepy vibe. But, those photos you took just don’t seem to reflect that eerie atmosphere you felt when you were physically there.

I Learned to Take Photos of Tiny Things by Doing Sports Photography
I love to take photos of bees. I work to support them with flowers specifically planted to attract bees into and around my yard. Last year, I documented 7 different species of bees on my Echinacea flowers (aka cone flowers) in 1 afternoon alone. The medium-sized bee in my photo above is not enlarged as I simply took the shot a few inches above the feasting bee. These nerves of steel I gained from sports photography. More on my sports-photography venture in a moment, as I'm on flight with my bees.

Feel, Touch, Love
Have you ever taken a picture and then looked at it on your device and thought - “that is not what it felt like when I looked at it”? The reason you were likely drawn to wanting to take the picture, was because the scene emoted something for you. It called you, caught your eye and stirred something in you that said - “I want to preserve this slice in time, forever”. Then you look at it and you’re disappointed. There is some dissonance between what you recall of that moment and what you’re looking at on your screen. This is one of the reasons I love to edit my photos shortly after taking them. This way I can make sure to stay true to what I remember of that moment.

Squares and Superimposing
Taking photos has always been one of my favorite hobbies, so the chance to share my creative process behind some of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken was an opportunity I had to take. Photography can come in many ways but for me I just slip my phone out of my back pocket and began becoming inspired by nature, creativity, and my imagination. Usually I have a particular aesthetic that I personally follow but to put it in a word for others to understand the word would be: “dreamy”. I like for my photos to look as if they’ve just been specially plucked from my imagination, but there would be no way for me to succeed in bringing my vision to life by without these apps and their features:

The Amateur Photographer
What is Photography? Photography is the art of taking something simple and mundane and turning it into something everyone wants to see. It’s seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary or seeing beauty in the regular things; that’s what makes it an art. Not everyone has a keen eye to spots photo worthy moments or spot what could be a million-dollar picture. When taking photos, you should always remember that the camera is an extension of yourself. You shouldn’t think of the lense as just an inanimate object, but more like a contact lense added to your original eye to enhance the original vision you got about the person, place or thing you want to take a picture of.

Mountain Glass Reflections and the Milky Way. Second Place in Before and After Challenge.
How I Captured this Photo Last summer, I invited one of my good friends Connor on a road trip across Colorado. One of my strongest passions is adventure filmmaking, and so we set out for a 4 day trip in July, with the plan to depart from Boulder, CO, across the state, down to Carson, CO, then over to Durango, and up to Silverton, and back North from there.. We had a lot of miles to cover in a short window. You’d think we’d have a solid plan of attack with some activities planned out and campsites lined up. But we didn’t. And this created some unusual challenges and very late nights for us, but it also allowed us more latitude to change our plans last minute, and that's what allowed this photo to happen.

the final edit
I wasn’t like the other girls. I never edited my photos. I knew my friends and all their friends would spend hours before posting—filling out their top lips, blurring pimples, and photoshopping out the cigarettes they were holding—but not me. And not because I was confident, but because I was so painfully insecure that I did not want to even make an attempt to alter pictures in any way in fear of someone noticing…because if someone notices…then not only do they know you’re insecure about posting, but also terrible at doing so. This was not a risk worth taking for me. Photography was improving at a pace I couldn’t keep up with, and it was my freshman year of college, so my high school siblings were already at risk of being cooler than me. I was still primarily using Facebook, and my sister had given up trying to get me to understand Instagram. She once told me that I’m embarrassing myself by getting under thirty likes and that I should probably delete anything that doesn’t hit the mark. I rarely hit thirty, and when I did, it was usually thanks to my little sister telling all her friends that I had posted and they should go like it. Usually, any given post would have a like or two from people my age, and the comments would be flooded with heart eye emojis from thirteen year olds.

Architecture, Real Estate, and Landscape Photo Editing Tips and Tricks
When I was about halfway through high school, I found myself in need of a job above and beyond the carwashing and lawn mowing I'd been offering for years. As it so happened, I found a gig that paid ok, could be done from home, and worked to some of my strengths - I became a photo editor for a photographer specializing in real estate and architecture. Back when I was spending hours a week straightening horizons, editing lens dust out of the sky, and trying to hide personal belongings that had snuck into the carefully staged shots, I wish I'd had an article like this one to help me out. Whether you're just handling the editing, are trying to kickstart your own photography business, or even just want to take pictures of funky buildings for fun, I've teamed up with that very same photographer, the talented Sheila Say, to bring you the insights and hacks she uses every day to satisfy realtors and magazines alike.
