Focus - a theory for shooting from the hip.




Our focal interaction to our environment is se-cumbered, not from the lens of the camera, but from the notion that the image flashes before our eye. Our perception is that millisecond glimpsed. The constant declaration of the human "gaze".

So is it on purpose that we would constantly reproduced the past?

To utilise our imagination, it would be more preferable to capture the present. (There is a negative connotation to this principle of "everything that is produce is done so in the past").

Shooting as one perceives is a effective way of understanding how to visulalise our surroundings and environment.

Shoot from the hip...

"The magic of photography is metaphysical. What you see in the photograph isn't what you saw at the time. The real skill of photography is organised visual lying".   - Terence Donovan
