\u201cIt\u00b4s always important to have a plan before you go out on a shot. That said, things are going to happen that is going to mess with your plan.\u201d Today I have re-watched one of my favorite videos on Lynda.com about documentary photographer Paul Taggart documenting his brother and his family.<\/p>

When I have a plan, but things don`t work out accordingly, I often get caught up in worries. I get nervous and grumpy inside. Afterwards, I wish I would have worked with the situation in confidence. Because thinking: \u2018Oh shit, it`s not gonna work out, obsessing about bad light or weather and giving up early \u2013 all that keeps me from really focussing on what`s happening in front of me. I know from experience that when I just keep \u201cworking it\u201d and don`t give up, I usually get good results. But I tend to forget.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Embracing real life<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

“Rather than worrying about not getting the picture that I wanted, I just run with the moment\u201d, says Paul Taggart. Because that`s \u201creal life\u201d happening. After all, that\u2019s what photography is all about: documenting something genuine and real, picturing true and authentic moments.<\/p>

Paul Taggart says: \u201cAll those obstacles are just going to make it better in the end. As long as you embrace them, you`re going to come out with some better pictures.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

So, when things don`t go to plan, I really want to remember: \u00a0if I embrace and work with the situation as it is, there`s going to be a good picture. I guess that goes for all life \u2013 trust in God that he will lead all things with higher knowledge. And on a smaller scale of photography: Trust that all happenings, all light or weather or stuff will eventually be my blessing. And that with some creative thinking (not blocked by worries), I`ll find a way to make something more genuine and authentic than I had planned in the first place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cEs ist wichtig, Plan zu haben, wenn man f\u00fcr ein Fotoshooting raus geht. Andererseits werden Dinge passieren, die deinen Plan durcheinanderbringen werden.\u201c Heute habe ich eines meiner Lieblingsvideos auf www.lynda.com angeschaut, in dem Dokumentarfotograf Paul Taggart einige Tage im Alltag seines Bruders und dessen Familie dokumentiert.<\/p>

Wenn ich einen Plan habe, aber die Dinge nicht so laufen, wie ich`s mir vorgestellt habe, werde ich oft schnell innerlich unruhig und unzufrieden. Hinterher w\u00fcnschte ich mir jedes mal, ich h\u00e4tte mehr Vertrauen in mich gehabt, die Situation gut zu meistern. Denn zu denken \u201aAch Shit, es l\u00e4uft nicht\u2018 und mich wegen schlechtem Licht oder Wetter verr\u00fcckt zu machen und zu fr\u00fch aufzugeben \u2013 all das h\u00e4lt mich davon ab, mich wirklich auf das zu konzentrieren, was ich gerade vor mir habe. Ich wei\u00df eigentlich: wenn ich dranbleibe, verschiedene Dinge ausprobiere und nicht aufgebe, bekomme ich meistens auch gute Ergebnisse. Nur vergesse ich das immer wieder.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Das wahre Leben wilkommen hei\u00dfen<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u201cAnstatt mich dar\u00fcber zu \u00e4rgern, dass ich nicht die Bilder bekomme, die ich wollte, gehe ich einfach mit dem Moment mit\u201d, sagt Paul Taggart. \u00a0Denn das ist das \u201cechte Leben\u201c und darum geht es schlie\u00dflich beim Fotografieren: Etwas Echtes und \u201eWahres\u201c zu festzuhalten, ehrliche und authentische Momente zu dokumentieren.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Paul Taggart sagt: \u201eAlle diese Hindernisse werden deine Bilder am Ende nur besser machen. Solange du sie Willkommen hei\u00dft, wirst du mit besseren Fotos nach Hause gehen.\u201c<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Wenn`s mal wieder nicht l\u00e4uft, will ich versuchen dran zu denken: wenn ich der Situation vertraue und mit ihr arbeite, dann wird da auch ein gutes Bild sein. Ich denke, das gilt im Leben generell \u00a0– Gott vertrauen, dass er die Dinge mit seinem h\u00f6heren Wissen gut f\u00fcr uns laufen l\u00e4sst. Und beim Fotoshooting: Vertrauen, dass alles, was passiert, Licht, Wetter, was auch immer, am Ende ein Segen f\u00fcr mich ist. Und dass mit kreativem Nachdenken (und ohne \u00c4rger im Kopf) etwas Ehrlicheres und Authentischeres dabei rauskommt, als ich vielleicht erwartet hatte.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
