Street photography is one of the most difficult, yet at the same time one of the most satisfying genres of photography. Documenting people in their everyday environment is not easy–it requires patience, hard work, and sometimes even courage to be able to approach and photograph complete strangers. Typically, street photography is about the candid capture of life in public spaces. I was inspired by photographers such asContinue reading “Street Photography”

Fine Arts Photography: with reference to Brooke Shaden
For a few years now I have been following Brooke Shaden’s work in Instagram. Her work is unbelievable, her expressive approach and how she can build characters with intricate composition. I really appreciate her work. She isn’t a skilled camera woman, and she’s not shooting with a sophisticated lighting set. She prefer to have a simpleContinue reading “Fine Arts Photography: with reference to Brooke Shaden”
Friction: Creating the Purest of Art, a Reflection of James Maynard Keenan’s Speech
“Most people spend their entire lives trying to avoid friction,” Keenan began. “Somewhere along the way, I found it in myself a desire — a calling — to embrace friction, tension, transitions, changes and to work with them … Life is change. Life is friction.” Keenan continued, “[Life is] working with the tension and theContinue reading “Friction: Creating the Purest of Art, a Reflection of James Maynard Keenan’s Speech”

Space is the area around and between the subject of the composition. There are many ways in which the use of space can influence the audience, which can cause different emotions and feelings based on their use. Well, I define “space” as an entity that either separates or brings closeness to my environment, like every other artist have on their own reflection and aesthetic use of art. I find that space is a “spiritual relation” between the environment. ThatContinue reading “s p a c e s”

Social Landscape
Social landscape photography portrays the interaction of human beings and their landscape. It may also include the natural scene but that cannot be considered as Nature Photography. The social interaction is what creates the sense of action or an outcome which provokes emotion and a response towards the viewers.
Fictive Self Portrait – expressions of myself
The mind is the ruler of our state of expression, we think what we see and act on how we feel based on our thoughts. Art uses the consciousness as the focus of attention to create new form and content out of imitation of experience. I think that art helps to bridge society and theContinue reading “Fictive Self Portrait – expressions of myself”
Self Portrait
Self portraits unlike selfies, are very different in terms of framing, compositon and other photographic rules. My idea of a self portrait is based on the subject of alienation and environmental exploration. I consider the theme of loneliness as a vital aspect in understanding the environment, separated from the “noise” of society, and by becomingContinue reading “Self Portrait”
