The big picture
Unlike many artistic mediums, photography produces in hundredths of a second. When the photographer presses the shutter button, the moment in front of the lens is captured, frozen in time, indefinitely.
Technology has further advanced the medium through the development of digital photography. The internet has given us a means to distribute these real time images with amazing speed to anywhere in the world in the half-blink of an eye.
But it’s the human behind the lens, the photographer, that turns images to art, and a single frame into a tale.
Great photographers are able to capture more than just moments in time. With abundant courage, and through careful attention to lighting and timing, they are able to transport their viewers to far away places, allowing them to experience a world outside of theirs.
The Bostons Globe’s The Big Picture series offers such opportunities.
