David Snider Pictures

There is no question David Snider has a ton of talent and really knows how to find a good photograph. His detailed description of how to “hunt” for a good photograph and the natural motivations a good photographer should have were extremely insightful. Every word of “The Great Picture Hunt” is bursting with knowledge about the subject matter and the best way to learn something like photography is to listen to the advice of someone who’s been working as long as David has. David is simply a master of catching shots of people and capturing human emotion through the art of photography. He is also a master of brainstorming and finding the right story to shoot for the proper occasion. Each of his photographs depicts a different emotion or expression and each tells its own unique story. I really liked the Rockefeller Plaza picture of the man mimicking the statue behind him. It has everything you want in a photograph: Originality, art, human emotion, simplicity, and an element I am very happy David addressed. Humor.
