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…

Being Present

As individuals that lead second lives online, we are expected to have perfect lives. We all know that life is far from perfect. August is an emotionally difficult month for for me. This year’s has been more difficult than past years. I lost someone very dear to me five years ago and her birthday is…

Simplifying everything

While looking through past work from 2018 and 2017, Ive realised that my work has changed considerably. I’ve often wondered what’s the reason behind it? The more I look my current work, the more I realised that I has simplified over time. Not because, I do not want to tackle complex images but it is…

Imitation vs Flattery

They say that Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. This is a quote that I have been questioning in the last few days. Although we are encouraged to be surrounded by a lot of different style of photographs to train our eye, the question I have is, does it really help in the creation…

Seeing simplicity in photography

Trying to create simple photographs are more complicated than I’d had expected. When looking at landscapes, we are filled with an array of emotions that trigger various senses. We smell the air, feel the cold, heat the wind blowing but most of all; our eyes almost see everything sprawled in front of us and we…

Reflections

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential,…

He took up photography at the age of eight after being given a 4 x 5 Kodak camera. At the age of sixteen,  he was introduced to pictorialism  by his cousin F….

London at Night

For a while, I’ve been wanting to do some night photography. However, I was a little uncertain of how it would work with my love of photography. Even though I’ve seen some pretty impressive images by some great artists. The more I put it off the more I wanted to do and I finally did….
