When less becomes more in photography

Not every image needs to be loud.

Some photographs live better in silence.
They ask for time.
They ask for contemplation.

Light enters slowly.
The frame respects space.
The intention is present, but subtle.

Photography is not about controlling the scene.
It is about listening to it.

Sometimes the best decision is not to press the shutter.
Other times, it is waiting a few seconds longer.

Silence is part of the image.
Just as it is part of poetry.
