Some tribes refuse to have their photographs taken or even be filed as they believe that a camera steals a part of their soul with each and every photograph taken, if you tell this to art based photographers they would tend to agree with this term. These photographers would agree because in their opinion a photograph should capture the essence and soul of the subject as these are the photographs that stand out from critique.

There is however another form of photography that has the ability to capture the very essence of its subject area and that discipline is: timelapse photography. Timlapse photography is a very useful photography discipline and can be used to capture a wonderful array of subject matters.
