The Soul of the Scene:

There's an undeniable allure to black and white images. They strip away distractions, focusing our attention on light, shadow, and form. But as much as I appreciate the timeless elegance of monochrome, I've come to realize that limiting myself to it means missing out on the full spectrum of emotions that colour can evoke.

Colour is the language of life itself. For me, the magic of photography lies in its ability to capture the world as we see it, in all its vibrant glory. A fiery sunset can convey passion and intensity, while the cool blues of a misty morning can evoke a sense of calm and tranquillity. Each hue tells a story.

The lush greens of a forest transport you to a place of natural beauty, and the bold, saturated tones of a bustling market capture a lively energy. While black and white photos can be powerful, they often feel like a translation of reality—a beautiful but simplified version.

Chasing Authenticity

By embracing colour, I'm not just documenting a scene; I'm capturing its soul. It's the warmth of a smile, the richness of a culture, and the subtle shift of the seasons.

Ultimately, my choice is to not choose at all. I don't feel the need to confine my creativity to a single palette. Whether it's the stark contrast of a black and white landscape or the dazzling array of colours in a portrait, I'm simply chasing the most authentic way to tell the story in front of me. Instead, I let the subject and the moment dictate the medium.
