From the tropical island of Madagascar, to the unpredictable African safari, we travel, and we photograph. Not because we venture to those places for our love of travelling, but because the love we have for perspective, our passion for exploring life, and our urge to present the visualization that we plan before clicking the shutter, through the lens, into the smaller rectangular frame.

When Texture Tells You the Story

Image
When Texture Tells You the Story Just like a painter, an experienced photographer always tries to look beyond the obvious in a subject, to draw the attention of the viewers, so that they spend more time with it. It is the texture in a photograph that takes one close to the composition, as if it can be felt or how it feels if touched. Texture is the tactile quality of the surface of an object. It presents the viewer with an even more intense experience of your work.
