If one considers oneself an artist in the field of photography, then there is no doubt that the camera is the only primary tool. It captures the moment inside the frame into a unique visual representation, which portrays the essence of art. The art of photography, in all styles, takes one into the world of visual rhythm of harmonies.

To study and understand camera, a photographer must know what it is fundamentally, to express his visualization, and explore the border spectrum a camera offers. This article let one start that journey of learning.

This photograph was taken during a trip to Valparaiso. It was a sunny day and the dog in the photograph was initially resting right under a ray of sunlight that I found attractive. When I pointed the camera at him he got up immediately and approached through the bars of the fence that made an interesting play of light and shadow with the steel spirals on his face.

I took this photo while I was out for micro photography with my Canon SX420 IS digital camera. I love micro photography, which is why I customized the lens for this purpose. While searching for an arthropod, I came across this spider hiding behind the leaves of a plant. As I enjoy taking photos of s...

“Black and white is abstract,” the great photographer Joel Sternfeld once said. “Looking at a black and white photograph, you are already looking at a strange world.” Black and white photographs let the viewer see the world from a different angle and see the beauty of the subject from a completely new light. Black and white photographs have their very own magic and, when viewed over a longer period of time, bring out new small details again and again.

Putting the frame around the everyday happenings and preserving those split seconds often come with stories, stories that have all the flux of lives that we see around us. Presenting a story needs to be presented chaos free, so that it can stand out from the rest, but at the same time our understanding should be chaos free too, when we explore through the lens.
