“You don't take a photograph, you make it.” ~Ansel Adams



This is not entirely true, but in most respects it can be. Especially when taking recreation photgraphs or photographs of large groups of people. Each and every photographer has a vision. Whether is a certain object, or a person. Each picture they do they have to make the scene. Putting make-up on a person and clothing them a certain way is an example of "making" the photograph. A spontaneous, one shot photogrpah with no ques or props is what I consider to not be a forced photograph. When someone is told to make a certain face or look a certain way or do a certain motion, the photograph is made. The photograph is being taken, but the photograph was made to be excepted.
