Photography: Painting with light

“ Light is my inspiration, my paint and brush. It is as vital as the model herself. Profoundly significant, it caresses the essential superlative curves and lines. Light I acknowledge as the energy upon which all life on this planet depends.”
– Ruth Bernhard

I completely agree with the above quote. Light is what makes photography possible. In fact, the very word “photography” comes from the greek words phos (“light”) and graphy (“to write”), meaning “writing or painting with light”. Light is the raw material for creating a photograph. Light enables us to see and enjoy the beauty of the nature around us by creating two kinds of contrasts: contrast of brightness (“tone”) and contrast of colors (“hues”).

“Dull light equals a dull photograph, no matter how strong the subject matter may be.”
– John Shaw

When we start to “see the light”, we start to “make a photograph”… Photographs that are cherished.

I am just an amateur photographer who is serious about “making photographs”. Photography is my passion and hobby. This website is my modest attempt to cherish that beautiful light through some of my photographs.
