Beauty

It is true that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

We are trained to see certain things as beautiful by our culture, but if we are lucky we are also taught to see more subtle beauty by our heart.

Even features, good health, joyful expressions, all contribute to the look of beauty.

But there is also something else when it comes to beautiful photographs.

A photo of a person can be taken thirty minutes before another photo and make a person look totally different even if they have not changed a thing, not their makeup nor their clothes.

Is it the light? The angle? The setting? Perhaps even the atmosphere created by the people surrounding them?

I suppose that is why we have photographers. Gifted ones find the beauty not every one else can see.
