Finding a subject for photography requires focus. It is better to concentrate on one or two subjects rather than many, as greater success will be achieved by specializing. There are two primary ways for a photographer to see subjects - pre-visualization, where the photographer envisions an image before taking the photo, and realization, where the photographer meditatively observes their surroundings to find photo opportunities. By combining pre-visualization and realization techniques, photographers can produce memorable images that convey their personal artistic perspective.

22. • Some beginners simply make pictures of
whatever appeals to them; invariably the
results are mediocre. Take the analogy of
a sportsman: imagine someone wanting to
excel in football, cricket, rugby, tennis and
swimming. If he were attempting all five at
once, he would not achieve very much,
but by concentrating upon one – or at
most two – his success and satisfaction
would obviously be greater.

23. • Quelques novices font simplement des
images de quoi que les appels à eux ;
immanquablement les résultats sont
médiocres. Prendre l'analogie d'un sportif :
s'imaginer quelqu'un voulant exceller dans
le football, le grillon, le rugby, le tennis et
la natation. S'il tous tentait cinq tout de
suite, il n'atteindrait pas beaucoup, mais
en concentrant sur l'un – ou à plus deux –
son succès et sa satisfaction seraient
évidemment plus grands.
