Natural Light

BW Ethan Natural Light

Babies, to me, are natural human beings that perhaps have yet been exposed to the artificiality of the world. They are curious creatures that become fascinated by other people, things, places, and ideas easily. This is perhaps one of the most natural photos I've found so far with regards to naturalness. The simplicity of black and white shades of light shone on a babies facial features surely reminds me of nature. However, being the devil's advocate here, I wonder if photography itself is natural? Do we have to capture memories beyond our brains or are they best left there? Has this photograph been photoshopped or edited in any way? These are questions we begin asking with the continual advancement of our photo technolgies. Is getting the simple, natural, original form that difficult?
