Sometimes getting the shot is more about what you don’t photograph than what you do. A room lined with mirrors and competitive photographers can make for challenging composition, but it is those challenges that often yield the most unexpected results. And who doesn’t relish the triumph of beating the odds and coming up with something truly captivating out of the perceived impossible?

Finding a good image can be like solving a puzzle with missing pieces, but when everything finally comes together… well, those are the moments that carry us through the challenges in between. So bring on the next puzzle please, because lately those moments have been in incredibly short supply.

In the story Getting the Shot.
