Што ја прави една фотографија трогателна? Емоционалната гравитација, вели фотографскиот уредник во National Geographic, Илајџа Вокер, заедно со другите соработници и колеги. Било да е тоа личност, место, животно или нешто друго кое ги разбудува емоциите во спектаторот.

This photo was originally published in “Pictures Capture Daily Battle Against Zika Mosquitoes,” in February 2016.

This photo was originally published in “What Happens to the U.S. Midwest When the Water’s Gone?,” in August 2016.
Вокер вели дека често може да забележи емоционален ударен момент на фотографијата од прв поглед, било да е тоа радост, гнев, тага, изненадување или стравопочит. Најчесто фотографии кои будат најмоќни емоции се оние со луѓе, но тоа не е секогаш правило. Мртва зебра во кадар, на пример, ја евоцира бескомпромисната суровост на животот и смртта.
