IMO, a good photog takes the camera out of the equation, in that you forget its a picture and the snake (or whatever) appears as it does in nature, or, as the naked eye would see it.
Sorry if I dont make sense, but I hope you at least get my meaning.

I see where you're getting at. I hope this photographer will take some natural pictures, I bet he'd be pretty good at it because he takes very clear and steady photos.
