… or on another words, playing with shadows and light. i use a lot of light on my work, but lately i’ve been feeling drawn to less light and more shadows. sometimes i feel that shadows are actually more beautiful and trickier to nail! one thing i know, i want to explore more how my work can benefit from these shadows and sun flares. but asides from the composition itself, the editing is also felt like stepping out of my comfort zone, my safe zone. but at the same time, it’s so exciting to see different things. allowing shadows and light coexist in a picture may bring a certain tone of subtleness that i absolutely love.
my favourite!
after this photo session, i really want to explore portraits more and more. and these tones seem perfect for a few out-of-the-box ideas! drop me an email if you are into something really creative this year!

Oh yes indeed I hear you! I love the interplay of light and shadow so much…it’s why I am shooting more and more in black and white these days. By removing colour from the equation it makes you think entirely differently about the process…and shooting film means you have to nail the exposures so it’s a real learning curve. Enjoy your explorations!

hello my friend, thank you so much for your comment! yes, i know what you mean, but it’s interesting how we can see things so differently! i see black and white as a way of capturing shapes and emotions, without being distracted by other details such as colours and vibrancy. and light comes to me in a more colourful capture. but i will try to work with black and white and nail the light and shadows! i know that once i tried a really nice b&w roll of film and as i usually make it for overexposure, it was too bright. so there you go… you might be right on that one! ;)
