After watching the YouTube video Documentary Photography: Tips by Mads Nissen | Wedio, many points resonated with me. One of the most striking things was Nissen's emphasis on being 'mentally close' to your photographs. He stressed the importance of authentically documenting what you see, rather than staging or manipulating it. The goal is to capture the emotional essence of your subjects, which requires you to tap into your own emotions and empathize with others. To do this, you need to identify your personal message and what matters most to you. As a photographer, we hold the power to shape the views of others, so it is pertinent to be aware of our own values and priorities. Be clear and focused in your approach, eliminating unnecessary elements from the narrative. He also suggests using natural light and keeping your equipment setup simple, using only what's necessary for the situation. In editing, Nissen states selecting the photo that best tells your story. The ultimate goal is to make a meaningful impact, not to chase awards or recognition.
