For our next assignment we are suppose to capture emotion within our photos. At first I didn’t really understand how I was going to be able to capture such a thing within a photo. Then as I was doing research on the internet for such a picture I found this right off the bat. I absolutely love this picture. I realize that it may be sad at first but when you really take a good look at it, you can see the real connection between the father and daughter. The father and daughter dance is a very emotional part of the wedding and you can see that here. The father is trying his hardest to hold it in, but the moment just got the best of him. This is how I want my photos to come out. There are so many different emotions to be able to capture and finding a photo as good as this one will be difficult.
