Most flat photos were flat before the shutter was pressed. Not the lens. Not the sensor. Separation. New piece on why depth has to be built on purpose, and what to look for before you shoot.\

A few minutes before the ceremony marking the opening of the salmon fishing season in Kenmore, Scotland, sometime before 2000. The fishermen gather outside the old Post Office with rods, waders and landing nets ready. I like these moments just before an event begins, when everyone is waiting, talking and preparing, and the photograph still feels wonderfully unarranged. #flyfishing #kenmore #salmon #scotland #perthshire

Most photographers think the moment happens in front of them. It doesn’t. The moment happens in the decisions you make before anything moves. Where you stand. What you exclude. What you’re willing to ignore. By the time something “interesting” enters the frame, the photograph is already decided. That’s the part almost nobody talks about. Here, you see the finished image. On Substack, I break down the thinking behind it, the positioning, the missed frames, the small adjustments that actually make the difference. If you want to understand why an image works, not just how it looks, that’s where to go. https://marcosecchi.substack.com/
