This Phoenix photographer

A great photographer considers the camera only as a tool, a black box with a hole on one side. It is about being an artist, using creativity, intuition and observation to make an image. Lens and shutter, film or digital do not matter to the greatest photographers, only what they can create with the tools at hand. Because of the limits of the tools, the best photographers use their understanding of light, time and their intimacy with the process to create images.

In the most basic description, a professional photographer is someone who provides the client much more than they can create on their own through quality, creativity, and experience. This is accomplished most noticeably by the talent and judgment of the photographer behind the camera. Through observation and experience, a great photographer consistently captures the holy moment when the world as we imagine it in our dreams becomes truth.

I say that I steal souls for a living because, in the race to stay current on technology and methodology, many in my field have lost the most important skill of a photographer – to observe beauty constantly. -Tyson Crosbie
