Magic and melancholy. This is what Andrea Gjestvang found on her first trip last year to Greenland, a startlingly beautiful country with a struggling population; a place where round-the-clock daylight alternates with almost unbroken darkness.

HCB: To me, photography is a simultaneous recognition in a fraction of a second of a significance of an event as well as of a precise organization of form which gives that event its proper expression. I believe that, for reactive living, the discovery of oneself is made concurrently with the discovery of the world around us, which can mold us, but which can also be affected by us. A balance must be established between these two worlds: the one inside us, and the one outside us. As the result of a constant reciprocal process, both these worlds come to form a single one. And it is this world that we must communicate.
But this takes care only of a content of a picture. For me, content cannot be separated from form. By form, I mean a rigorous geometrical organization of interplay of surfaces, lines and values. It is in this organization alone, that our conceptions and emotions become concrete and communicable. In photography, visual organization can stem only from a developed instinct.

Excellent visual communication is primarily driven by your unique visual sense, the time spent shooting and a deep connection to the story. In essence, you must do more than take pictures: You must make them. Images that transcend snapshots require extra effort.
Once you pick your subject and set aside time to shoot the story, you need to make compelling images to draw in the viewer. What are the elements that make a good picture? Good exposure and strong composition work together to make a complete image. Strong composition will quickly make a mundane scene more interesting and help communicate your story theme.
