18 Photos That Have More Emotion to Them Than Any Movie

Scientists say our emotions are like ocean waves: They rise, come to their highest points, and then start to recede. And this journey generally takes only 90 seconds in which we recognize, label, and accept the feeling. That’s why it’s so difficult, and at the same time, precious to catch authentic emotions on camera, and if we manage to do it, those shots quickly become our favorite.

We at Now I’ve Seen Everything found a few of those and are glad to be sharing them with you!
