The Science Behind a Photo
PHOTOS MATTER
When we look at photos, our brain has a physical and chemical response that allows us to process the information, like colors and shapes. However, the brain does more than just tell us what we are looking at. We want to share with you the science behind a photo, keep reading to learn more.
Looking at a familiar photo can trigger an emotional response. Our brain will retrieve the memories and feelings associated with the particular photo. For example, looking at pictures from your vacation on the beach can trigger happy emotions because your brain has made an association with happy feelings and the beach. This is also the process that allows us to feel nostalgia when looking at a photo. Printing your photos is the best way to hold on to those feelings and emotions because they are tangible and will last a lifetime.
MAKE CONNECTIONS
Printing our photos is not just a benefit to us and our memories, our photos can effect anyone who has made an association with you. They can look at a picture and have the same kind of emotional response. Our brain recognizes the way we feel around a certain person and creates a connection with that emotion and their face, even if they weren’t there when the picture was taken. Looking at a picture of a grandparent, can trigger the feelings and emotions we have when we were around them. It is powerful to have a printed photo to look at.
KEEP YOUR MEMORIES ALIVE
If the reason you take photos is to relive your favorite moments, then there is no better way to relive a moment than holding and looking at a tangible photo. Your memories are precious and time is fleeting. Take the picture. Get in the frame. Life is one crazy adventure, record every moment, good, bad, and everything in between.
