THE ART OF SEEING

The masters of the craft share their insights and photographs

• What are your favourite genres of photography? 

For me, photography transcends mere point-and-click. It embodies selective vision, the mastery of perspective and composition, and a deep appreciation for the dance of light and shadow. This is not just about capturing an image but about guiding the viewer’s gaze, crafting a journey through the frame that is both aesthetically pleasing and evocatively resonant.

My passion spans various genres of photography, each holding a unique allure. Wildlife photography captivates with its raw beauty and the thrilling unpredictability of nature. Portrait photography, on the other hand, delves into the narrative depths, weaving stories through the tapestry of human emotion. Landscape photography invites one to bask in nature’s grandeur, while documentary photography captures the unvarnished essence of daily life, presenting reality in its unfiltered form. Each genre, in its own right, offers a distinct lens through which to view the world, continually fuelling my love for this art form.
