Chaotic state of thinking

They are a few questions that I have been asking myself lately. Why am I doing this? What are my goals? Who am I and most importantly who am I as a photographer? Although I love technology, I am not a gear head. I have been using the same camera for as long as I…

Learning to see is about Patience

‘Luck is where preparation and opportunity meet’ – Seneca Seeing so many great images of others and hearing about how long they’ve been inn the field can give the misconception that everything happened overnight. The truth is that there’s an incredible learning curve. It takes times to learn, to observe light, the quality of available…

Timelessness of Film

Even though I started photography in the digital era, I’ve come to love film and all of its qualities. My first choice has always been black and white and my favourites being Pancro 400 and Kodak 400 Tmax. I love their strong contrast, grain and tonal range especially the atmospheric result that it gives. I…

Photographic Thinking

It is easy to think that one should be able create stunning and creative images will all the cameras, softwares at our disposal. This is not often case. We are all aware that the most expensive gears do not have the ability to create alone. The main process that is often overlooked is the thinking…

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…

The part that remains unshared

During my recent move, I came across a box of prints, earlier images that I had printed. A habit that I got into since I picked up a camera. As I was going through the box, a huge dread had washed over me. I was so embarrassed at the sight of these images. My instinct…

Patience

It is a very rare occasion that I get to process my images within 24hrs of capture. Some photographers prefer to process their images straight after capture. I prefer to wait and I’ve learned that being patient has its own results. They are several reasons as to why this process works for me. There are…

Expression, Perspectives and Timing

As individuals, we are all different. I am an introvert and an over thinker. I can force myself into into social situations. However, I am not one for small talks as I find small talks draining. Somehow I have found myself in the creative world and creating a blog and permanently putting my thoughts out…

An open mind

For several years now, I have walked the streets of London. Like most popular cities in Europe, the streets are cluttered with buildings. Some older than I am and others a lot more recent but each as fascinating as the next. Common to many, London has a wide variety of architectural styles from a variety…
