A core quality of excellent photography, like any other form of art, is to elicit emotions in the viewer. Even considering the many necessary components of good images, the quality of the moment, the gesture, the emotional load of the image usually overtakes the center of attention and defines the reaction to the photograph.
Oftentimes, the subject defining the emotional quality of the image is obvious [perhaps too obvious, and that can be detrimental to the image] but some photographers have the ability to convey emotion as an underlying message, subtle, elegant, extremely sensitive. Few months ago I came across the work of Elizabeth Fleming, and from the moment I saw her photographs I was affected in a emotional level that I will never forget. Her work has exquisite emotional quality. I lost her website but now, finally, I was able to find it again and I also found her interesting blog.
