Welcome to the Light Stalking weekly community wrap-up! Intuitively, one stumbles into the realm of visual language when thinking in photographic terms. However, the catch gets clearer when we attempt to justify our craft by elaborating on how images are capable of telling stories just like written text or verbose talking does. And that’s the […]

Welcome to the Light Stalking weekly community wrap-up!

Surrealism in photography is an art that can be used to capture unreal or dreamlike images. There are many ways in which this genre can be executed.

In case you are intrigued by this challenge but feeling not ready for sharing, you can still practice at your own pace. Freezing motion in photography is a huge challenge, and you should not feel less capable due to some odd or unexpected results.
Something to consider though, is picking the right subjects and predicting their upcoming movements. If you nail at this, you might start getting some impactful and memorable results. Also, focusing on moments of tension while presenting unusual or uncommon scenes can make your shots more interesting and complex.
