Black is Beautiful
2022-08-24 20:46:52 UTCIf there is one thing I love, its photographing Black Women. This is my speciality. I take this very seriously because as a Photographic Subject, Black Women turn me on. This all began with my mother.
I made a point of learning how light interacts with different shades of Black…

MW | My Approach to Black & White
2022-05-25 08:58:54 UTCI have heard many Photographers say “ I see in Black & White”. This confused me. I think logically and speak straight. “Are you Colour Blind”?
“No”, would be the reply. Being even more confused, I was too embarrassed to ask any further. I never bothered with Black & White…

MW | Colour Conversion
2022-05-23 16:39:57 UTCWelcome to a Week of Monochrome Studies. My documentation will be led by my eye and feelings about how Black & White/ Shades of Grey / Monochrome / Greyscale speaks to me. I felt it important to create a few images in Colour to study the Light and how it…

The Orignal Canvass
2021-09-30 16:47:41 UTCLet’s imagine for a moment. That moment before, THE BIG BANG. What colour do you think was present? There was no universe created……yet. No Sun or Moon No Earth.

2020-10-07 11:23:00 UTCBlack History Month 😂 What a Joke… This circus coming to town once a year is an insult to my intelligence and sensitives.Black History “Month” to me undermines the significant contributions of Black People throughout the history of the world.

2020 Vision | Back To Black
2020-09-17 11:51:34 UTCI really love the symbiotic relationship between light and darkness. The 2nd verse of #thetaoteching speaks about #paradox and how we can’t have one without the other. Image creation became a possibility when light 💡 came into being. After all, our Sun 🌞 is an always on 24/7 light source.…

2020 Vision | The Original Canvas
2020-06-02 14:50:44 UTC“Let there be Light”, epic words that transformed vision. The original canvas was Black. Where the Light shines sculpts the image.

2020 Vision | Seeing in Black & White
2020-06-01 21:36:24 UTCTo strip a scene of its colour is to see deeper into the Light. No Colour. Different shades of Grey. A relationship with the Shadow, Contrast and Hi-Lights.
The great masters like Henri Cartier Brendon, Robert Kapa, Brassai all saw the world in shades of grey. I kind of miss…

2020-05-29 21:01:39 UTCA walk through my park has reminded me that Life always finds a way. Nothing can or will stop this creative expression. Life is for living. We all deserve a life of respect and dignity. Recent events have broken my heart. Innocent lives of Black Men snuffed out. Where ever…

2020 Vision | Colourless Expression
2020-05-09 11:53:28 UTCThere was a time when we did not question the absence of Colour. Many of the great timeless expressions of life were captured in Black and White. Master Image Creators like Henri Cartier Bresson, Brassai and Ansel Adams showed us our world stripped of Colour and yet full of evocative…

2020 Vision | Today in Black & White
2020-04-29 12:34:56 UTCEmpty Carriages.
Paddington Station.
A Ghost Town…
Some sign of life and yet…….empty, meaningless and devoid of soul.
I have a bad feeling about this. 😔 When it’s all over, the atmosphere of Social Distancing will be a context still very much alive. Who will you trust? Who can you…
