Today, I want to share a beautiful architecture from Lomé, Togo. Togo is a country in West Africa, bordered by Ghana to the west, Benin to the east and Burkina Faso to the north. It extends south to the Gulf of Guinea, where its capital, Lomé, is located. Right at the heart of the city, you will find the Palais de Lomé The original architecture was built from 1898…

Luminaire
Luminaire is thought of as a flood light or electric light. This image certainly did not start out that way. For about a year or so, I once again started being interested in shapes and patterns. Perhaps my love of geometry is finally coming to good use. The more I look around, the more patterns…
Photographing London
Living in London makes sense that it will be the most photographed city in all of the images that I’ve created. Although I am quite bias, it is a very beautiful city. One thing that is clear about London is the diversity of culture as well as the diversity in its architecture. This city’s architectural…
The Knight
Living in London means having access to an incredible variety of architecture. If you are familiar with the city, you will know that it boasts of Baroque style (1600 – 1750) such as St Paul’s Cathedral, Georgian (1714 – 1830) found around Grosvenor Square in Mayfair and Belford Square in Bloomsbury style architecture (1811 –…
Negative space and minimalist photography
Since minimalism is one of my favourite photography styles, negative space is one of my favourite compositional tools to achieve such images. When creating minimalist images, they are a few things to consider. Not only we need to be considerate about what to include but also what to leave out. Another element that needs to…
A sense of timing – Minute
They say that in photography timing is everything. Having captured numerous images over the years , I’ve come to believe this to be true. Timing is a skill that can be learned but seeing a photograph does not necessarily tell you the steps involved in creating such image. A photograph is created using light. The…
Unexpected Lessons
They are many reasons why I would never claim to be a patient person. I find myself losing interest mid-conversations and very often when watching movies. This particular personality flaw has not been aided in any shape or form in this digital age. I get frustrated when my computer slows down or when my phone…
Amongst the clouds
Living in London means that one tries to get use to the unpredictable weather. A week ago, we had a heatwave with temperatures nearing 30 degrees and this week we are back to digging out our Autumn clothes at the end of June. unpredictable is an understatement. I will refrain myself from complaining too much…
Stacked
while answering some questions for an article earlier last week, I came across a question that I haven’t been able to get out of my mind. It revolves around the dark and moody look to my images. Although I have quite a few dark images and love creating them, I would not particularly say that…
Repeated Patterns
Although my work can be on the abstract side from time to time, I’ve found myself noticing patterns that surround me. Just like in nature, architecture also has plenty of patterns if we pay attention. More often I notice these patterns, more intrigued I am at what I see. The repeated patterns and organisation are…
