Celebration the presence of colours and the absence of it

 

 

Ever since I took up photography, my appreciation of art have evolved . I no longer just look at the subject of a painting but rather at the choice of colours used, the texture, the brush strokes and the tonality that the artist was trying to express in their painting . It worked for both abstract and non abstract.

Likewise in photography, the presence of colours or the lack of it , allows admirers like me to know of the context of the photos .

Saturated colours are often found in foods, flowers, or landscapes whilst mono saturated photos are towards portraits , abstract subjects such as landscapes and buildings. I like high contrast photos coupled with a strong sharp details especially in portraits.

The absence of colours in a photographs allows us to focus more on the subjects, the expressions and minute details which colours could have distracted us from .

Here are some photos which I took recently to emphasize the presence of colours or the absence of it

“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.” 
― Ansel Adams


What defines a photographer is his /her storytelling perspectives. A good photographer can make use of any camera to capture those moments of inspiration whether it is in the candid photos or something very abstract.

Here are some of my photos taken with Iphone 4. I use apps like Hipstamatic and Camera + . All editing was done on the iphone app itself.

There's something bout love ....

There's something about love that I cannot put my finger on .

Love is constantly in the air , from a mother to her child , from a lover to her spouse and when there's that spark , I love shooting photographs of people who are in love.

I love capturing those moment  when they glanced at each other , flirting with one another and often catching views of one another in fleeting moments.

Children of PNG.

The filipino fellowship which I have been attending hosted a Feeding the poor kids program every end of the month. This is a bunch of children from rural areas which the filipino fellowship have adopted and mentored every saturday and every end of the month, Digicel and Christian Revival Church will sponsor these kids with  a balanced meal, some stationeries and maybe food supplies for the family they represented.

Here are some of the photos I 've taken whilst participating in it.
