Embracing Unplanned Moments in Photography

Whenever I look back at the photos I've taken, sifting through the archives, the ones that have become personal favourites that have made a lasting impression, aren’t the ones I meticulously planned. They're not the images I spent hours crafting, from the initial spark of inspiration to the full-fledged idea of what I hoped it could be. I didn't carefully check weather forecasts to ensure the right conditions, nor did I spend time scouting the location, considering the perfect light, or planning for that one rare moment when everything aligned and I could press the shutter.
