Have I lost it by telling beginning photographers to take snapshot? No. Take a snapshot only if you are able to take a photograph of the same subject right after. Why would you take a snapshot of a subject then a photograph? They are the same thing right? No not at all.
A snapshot is just a shot of a person,objects, or some event that is just a simple shot to record a image. A snapshot could be out of focus slightly that was unintentional,bad framing,and no artistry whatsoever. A snapshot is someone who just pointed the camera in the right direction and clicked the shutter! Some people call them a guy or girl with a camera. “GWAC”
A photograph is an artistic interpretation of a person,objects, or some type of event. If a viewer,any viewer can tell something about the subject. A photograph is taken with care and must be composed with all of its elements selected and arranged to work together. In a photography you pay attentions to every details thats in the frame and try to get them just right. You will see the artistry in a photograph.
If a photograph is much better than a snapshot. Why should I take a snapshot. For future reference to show and help teach, if you decide to. Also studying the snapshot and comparing it to the photograph will help improve your compositions more and more. The last reason to take a snapshot, sometimes all you need is a snapshot of a love one for the memory. If Its possible I want a photograph but a snapshot is way better then no shot at all.
As you grow as a photographer your snapshots will grow into photographs.
NEVER STOP IMPROVING!
