Manifesto Pt6 - If There Is No Intention, There Is No Image

#386 In this episode of the Beginner Photography Podcast we
explore Photography Manifesto Rule #6 - If There Is No Intention,
There Is No Image. I talk about the importance of being
intentional in your photography, the role of composition in
directing focus, how to effectively utilize different lighting
techniques, the power of creating moments to create amazing
images, and the potential for transformation in your photography
journey.


THE BIG IDEAS



Intention Sets Images Apart: Snapshots capture a scene,
but intentional photos communicate meaning or emotion. Your
purposeful mindset is the first step toward creating images
that resonate.


You Control the Story: Thoughtful choices—what to
include, exclude, or emphasize—shape how viewers experience
your photographs. Every decision matters in telling the story
you envision.


Growth Comes from Deliberate Practice: You don't need to
know everything to progress. Focus on learning what helps you
achieve your vision and dedicate time to hands-on, intentional
practice.


Gear Isn’t Your Limitation: Your creativity and
intentional use of tools matter more than camera specs. It's
how you choose and use your equipment that makes the
difference.
