  1. Painting with Light

    2022-07-12 11:33:25 UTC

    The beauty of The Mirrorless System is being able to fine tune my exposure - “paint with light” - before I create the image. I can see with precision where the light is falling, and see the contrast detail and most importantly, expose for my highlights correctly. Shooting into the…


  2. The Subject is Light

    2021-09-30 10:20:22 UTC

    Making the Light the subject means focusing exclusively on this core element. Seeing the quality Feeling it’s quality and being aware of its direction. Where is the Light falling? This visual exercise is critical to understanding the relationship between Shadows and Highlights. Or Light & Shade. I am noticing how…


  3. Black & Light

    2021-09-14 16:21:06 UTC

    If you really think about it, the absence of Light reveals nothing. The black canvass is the starting point for a creative revelation. No Light. No Colour. When Light is present, Colour can be stripped away to focus attention of the Light and it’s sculpting ability. I am thinking the…


  4. Playing With The Light

    2021-09-13 20:11:13 UTC

    Photography is truly a magical process. Painting with Light is the accepted definition of the craft. I have been actively engaged in studying all that this entails since 2013. It is only now making sense. It’s all about seeing, reading and feeling the Light. You read that right; FEELING. As…

  6. 2020 Vision | The Original Backdrop

    2020-12-18 14:14:52 UTC

    My technique is very simple. I start with a Black Canvas. Just like God did. And then, “let there be Light”. Ohh those epic words. The foundation of all creation. The original backdrop was Black. It makes perfect sense. By adding light exactly where I want it, I paint my…


  7. 2020 Vision | Back To Black

    2020-09-17 11:51:34 UTC

    I 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.…


  8. Inspired Moments

    2019-01-04 12:40:47 UTC

    There are images waiting to be created everywhere. This was staring me in the face. What did I see? I saw the reason for Colour. Light. A single Flame, a Candle, a Red Bowl. The colourful ambience of the Thai Restaurant I was in. Most importantly, my XPro2 was by…
