In this latest The Candid Frame YouTube video, we discuss the importance of gestures. Inspired by the philosophy of master photographer, Jay Maisel, who describes his approach to photography as an exploration of light, color and gesture, we focus on the last idea.

It is one of the more elusive aspects of life to capture in a single photograph, but it can be the single most important element in an image. It can make the difference between a good shot to an exceptional shot.

Using images submitted by listeners from the Flickr pool, we explore how different images utilize gesture to make for an exceptional shot.
