City Lit On Life
This cityscape reminds me of obscured vibrancy of London’s busy life, curiously attractive but vigilantly tiresome. Specially, the yellow lights reflects the energy and strength of the city itself. I took this image with a slow shutter speed as it was the golden hour.
Crown of light
Against the darkness of the land sunshine leaking into the world from the sky. It felt as if the light from haven is healing sorrows of the world. I was hoping for a silver lining to appear then I saw a thin shiny line on the horizon. I knew that this moment should not be lost and worth taking a picture.
The windmills
I was hunting for landscape but the windmills were in it self was not interesting. Until a moment later when sun light illuminated the patch of the land as if it was under a spot light.
A Delicate Balance
I composed this image to impose an alarming truth about the burden of a common man’s livelihood. The incline tower express a great weight delicately balanced upon the horizon of hopes. The sky signifies the magnitude of unknown opportunities and the different colors of grass symbolizes the flow of contrary
forces at work.
Aging Wisdom
The wish of immortalization is prominent from the expressions of this moral man. To me his baldness was a clear warning while he was smiling with a spark in his eyes. It felt as if he is mocking me for what awaits for me in future.
Faces
A different approach this time, I ask both of them to be quite serious while confronting camera. It was a bit cloudy so I kept the ISO at 400 and it give me a nice result with f/14.
Singular Impression
I had an idea to make a face from many faces. Therefore, I went to Trafalgar Square and ask who ever I can find to let me take their picture. I specifically ask them to keep their face straight, steady and look directly into the camera while smiling.
The Imperceptible
I had a curious idea of capturing an invisible person’s reflection for my book cover to reflect my title ‘The Imperceptible”. I used Adobe Photoshop to remove the legs of the person and heavily saturate colors to give it a fantasy look.
New Dimension
A puddle of water was reflecting a tree, this in its self didn’t catch my eye but with the refection of the clouds conjuring fog and the gravel on the street sparkling like stars in the stratosphere. The grass i kept in the composition to give the feel that over a hill lies another world.
Infinite stairs
When seen from a bird’s eye view the lines and symmetry formed by stairs were immensely
abstract piece of art.
One man show
I noticed a carnival story of a one man show. Quickly, I put my ISO on 400 with a very fast shutter speed because the subject was constantly moving. I tried to compliment his gutsy character with the vibrancy of red, blue and yellow by exaggerating saturation inside Adobe Photoshop.
 
Girl on Red
A girl lost in thought as expression of sadness and hope reflecting from her face was delicately captured in this image. The rich red background complements the darkness of her emotions and black dress.
Death of Nature
This plant was very striking, as in it i could see the struggle that nature has to go through to survive in our concrete and mechanized world. To fore fill what i conceptualized, i  waited for a car to move into the empty space in the middle of the 2 parked cars so that it would have a nice composition.
