Birds on Water
Minimal frames, patience, and small movement across the water at Montague Harbour, British Columbia.
Minimal photographs are easy to overwork.
The temptation is to make the scene explain itself, to wait for something larger to happen. But sometimes the small movement is enough: birds crossing water, a horizon nearly disappearing, the softest change in tone.
Patience is often just learning not to interrupt the quiet.
Minimal personal work trains patience, which is useful in every documentary photography setting. Whether I am photographing a family session or a wedding day in Alberta, I am often waiting for the smallest movement to make the frame feel complete.
