“You don't take a photograph, you make it.” ~Ansel Adams
I agree and disagree with this quote.
I agree because most often with professional photography, hours of setup goes into the shot. Or even with nature photography, you may move from place to place and create the perfect composition or lighting. Also, when taking abstract photos, some construction of the scene or photographic techniques may be necessary to achieve the desired effect.
On the other hand, I disagree with this quote. Not all photos are made. Candid photography, such a spontaneous form of photography, can produce excellent results by even just randomly hitting the shutter button. Compositions and photographic elements can work and appear at random. Or even the subject can steal the scene and do something to make the photo special, not under direction of the photographer.
