Elias S Tilavgi Art Photography

I am a self taught photographer. Literally I have been taking photos all of my life. Experimenting with various themes I would not consider myself a theme photographer.

​

Started taking photos of family like everybody does at a time where selfie and self was not the center of the universe. By time I moved to doors and windows and flowers and bees like everybody does. 

​

After that I started reading and reading and reading. But most of all I started observing. Photography is observation. Its giving the viewer what words cannot describe. 

​

For me photography is not Art. Its feelings. If you can cause feelings to the viewer by observing the photo then you have succeeded.  Then I found out which elements compose a good photo. The same elements compose a good life. 

​

In life and in photography we all need light. That breaks down to three main factors that deal with light. Sensitivity, time and space

​

Light !!!

​

- The more light you allow - And there you have it Aperture

​

- For how long you allow light - And then you have Shutter Speed

​

- How sensitive you are to light - Will give you the ISO 

​

The combination of the above will give you either a good photo or a good life :)

​

Always chase the light then
