In the multitude of photographic images that we encounter every day, there are only a few that really reach us, that we not only perceive, but that touch, grip, and fascinate us. Almost all of them are technically well photographed – modern equipment ensures sharpness and correct exposure. So what makes the difference between a technically good shot and one that stands out from the crowd that we recognize as a particularly successful photograph?

David duChemin, world-renowned photographer and author, has the answer:

It’s the soul, the feeling of a picture that appeals to the viewer emotionally. Without soul, no communication!

Book: Inspiration Camino francés – Jonny Allegra

” On this day, the wind was blowing in the right direction and the kilometers passed before me. It was a rush of impressions: endless vineyards, hills full of red-bright poppies, and fields of grain moving harmoniously to the rhythm of the wind. I had stopped thinking about the daily problems of life, whether at work or in private. I had stopped reflecting the many unsolved questions and trying to find the appropriate answers to them. Thoughts could actually dissolve into silence and monotony. Did I ever had any doubt about that?”

Book: Camera Humana – Kazuyoshi Nomachi

For 30 years, the Japanese photographer Kazuyoshi Nomachi was on a photographic pilgrimage. In “Camera Humana” he shows his best pictures. Nomachi celebrates in his pictures what defines life, he shows the diversity of cultures and the landscapes through which they were formed. The highlands are sacred to him, in their hardness, their intensity, their barren beauty, the struggle for survival of the inhabitants touches him deeply. Nomachi’s photographic pilgrimage started in 1971 in the Sahara. Whether in Mecca or in the steppes of Africa, whether in the Peruvian Andes or in the highlands of Ethiopia, whether at the foot of Kailash in Tibet or the Kumb Mehla in India, he always succeeds in capturing the colors of life in all its diversity and power.
