Visual Hook

Next week's photo challenge is to take a new photo(s), up to 3, that creates a visual hook. "The best visual hook is one that resonates with the viewer on a personal level."

I asked this challenge to hopefully get us thinking. We are taught about cameras, lenses, settings, "rules"/guides of composition.

But what make you stop when scrolling the social media photos?

What is it? Camera, lens, settings, lines, 3rd's, framing, ... What make you stop.

A visual hook in Photography is an element that grabs the viewer’s attention immediately and holds their interest. It often creates a focal point, adds depth, or elicits an emotional response.

To find inspiration, consider:

Exploring different photographic techniques: Try experimenting with different angles, perspectives, and lighting.

Looking for unusual subjects: Seek out the unexpected and find beauty in the ordinary.

Paying attention to details: Notice the small things that often go unnoticed.

Studying the work of other photographers: Analyze what makes their images compelling.
