Introduction

For many, photography is considered a science. After all, there are precise ways of doing things. One must consider the measurement of exposure, light, -stops, and aperture. There are numbers involved and settings to understand. Learning to use a camera properly takes effort, commitment, tenacity, and trial and error. It can take time and planning to create great photographs.

Photography is also a way of documenting events, whether they are celebratory, poignant, excruciating, or exciting. As recording devices go, there is no better tool than a camera. A single click, planned or unplanned, distills a moment in history, a fragment of time memorialized forever. When using a camera in this way, the photographer relies first on intuition and second on intellectual knowledge; knowing when to snap the shutter is usually an instinct, not a reasoned decision.

Finally, photography is an art form in and of itself. Photographers use their cameras the same way painters use brushesto create pictures rich with color, texture, and emotion. Or the way a poet uses words, narrating his or her heart and soul through the fluidity of language. In the photographers case, this language is visual. Using a camera is an ideal means of self-expression above and beyond simple science or documentary.

I have experienced photography as all of these thingsa perfect triad of intelligence, intuition, and inspiration. Its no surprise that all three were catalysts in the birth of Shutter Sisters. As a photographer and a woman, I longed for a community of other women like myself, equally passionate about the medium. Equipment and experience aside, I wanted to create a web home where women could celebrate their work by sharing it. And not just the sharing of images, but of stories, experiences, perspectives, ideas, and techniques, all based on the pure love of photography.

This book is an extension of the Shutter Sisters blog (www.shuttersisters.com). I want it to be a warm and inviting place for you to pore over images, hear stories, and learn more about the whys and hows of shooting photography from the heart. You will be led through these chapters, each with its specific theme, by the unique voices and insights of the founding contributors of the Shutter Sisters blog. Our goal is for you to walk away feeling inspired to not only look at things a little differently, but also to challenge yourself to approach your subjects through a more compassionate lens.

Its a powerful thing to use our viewfinders to picture the world around us. Photography provides us with the perfect way to express ourselvesas daughters, as mothers, as women, as artists. With each image, no matter the subject at hand, we illuminate what matters most to us, and that is not only inspiring, its transformative.
