See and analyze

This is where we put the first focus of this course - learn to create the image initially "in  your head". Train your patience to collect as much as possible visual information about your potential model, analyze and predict their behavior, analyze the existing conditions and take the proper creative decision. This is where thinking like a photographer starts. Seeing and analyzing - here is the key to creative freedom. Once you have the picture in your mind, you can then put this project on hold and comeback later in the proper moment for the exact shot. Once you are able to do that the actual shutter click will become the least thing to think and worry about. This is the first sign that you already started looking at the world like a photographer.
