Photography As an Art Expression Channel – Part2
What makes you interest on
doing landscape photography?
Please explain. Photographers
doing landscape photography
with so many different reason.
There are some who just want
to re-create the beauty of nature
on photography media, and
some other wan to bring a story
on every picture he/she created.
How about you?
You know, I don’t really think I’m a pure
landscape photographer even if, it’s a
fact, I often shot landscapes… I’m going
to try to explain..
Mainly, my photographs are my way to
show and express some of my feelings
and my personal perception of what
surrounds me. Photography, for me, is
not about reproducing the world. I’m
not really interested in making an accurate
copy of what I see out there. In
fact, I really prefer the power of suggestion
over description. What you can see
in my photographic work goes through
my own filters. OK… all the elements in
my photos exist, and everybody could
easily see them, but my goal is to offer
an artistic interpretation and above all
an emotion.
When everybody have a camera,
the first thing they shoot is landscape (beside people
around them). But not so many
people can shoot landscape on
a very good quality. What have
they missed on shooting landscape?
Why not so many people
can shoot good?
It’s really a very difficult question. I
don’t know. And I don’t know what is «
a good photo
I just could speak about what amazes
me, what touches me but certainly not
what is good or not. Creating image
isn’t easy. For me it’s just a need, a must
do, pics are a great part of my life, I love
doing that, and that’s what I do the
best in life.
You shoot landscape mostly (or
even all) in black & white. Why?
Don’t you like taking landscape
on color?
As I’ve already said, b&w was a revelation
for me, it’s the way I found to
express all of my feelings. I love the
colors of life, but my pics don’t speak
about reality, just about my emotions
and feelings. I can’t express my feelings
in colors.
What inspired you & triggered
you on taking photos?
More than landscapes which surrounds to do a good photograph
me, my goal in my photographic work
is just to share a poetic feeling in order
to emphasize imagination, a door
opened on the dream of the light. But
to answer more accurately, I would
say I just show the elements I see and
use those elements as catalysts for my
own imagination and hopefully for the
viewer’s imagination. I’m generally attracted
to places where stories can take
place, where imagination can be fired.
What kind of picture deserve
labeled as “the great one” on
your opinion?
One which could touch my heart.
Mention one word that describe
your photos.
Two words, please.. I would say light
and motion.
Share some tips for them who
want to learn photography appropriately.
I’m afraid I’ve no serious tips to share.
The best advice is to have fun, to open
your eyes to the world and let your
feelings going on… techniques is techniques
and it never speaks about how
