You don’t need to be a professional photographer to take a truly unique picture. A really creative image is singled out because it was caught at the right moment — whether it’s lightning, a cute snout of a cat, or a perfect shadow. You can be the best photographer in the world, but sometimes in order to take a really decent picture, you need to be in the right place at the right time with your camera.

Bright Side presents 30 of the most impressive photos that are the result of the creative ’’eye’’ and vision of the photographer.
