We see objects and buildings because of the light that touches them. One could say that as far as sight is concerned all objects are the result of the light that hits them to the extent that if there is no light, there is no object. Objects and buildings seem to take hold of light to make their appearance in the world. “let there be light,” the biblical version of the world’s creation, refers to making visible, making understandable, to something that becomes manifest. The movement from darkness to light is birth and renewal: newborn babies come into the light and everyday objects come to light again and again, with the dawning of each new day.
“When we move through space with a twist and turn of the head, mysteries gradually unfolding, fields of overlapping perspectives are charged with a range of light – from the steep shadows of bright sun to the translucence of dusk. A range of smell, sound, and material – from hard stone and steel to the free billowing of silk – returns us to primordial experiences framing and penetrating our everyday lives.”
-Steven Holl
Objects and buildings are visible due to the way they interact with light. Without light, they cease to exist in our perception. This interaction of light and objects is akin to the biblical concept of “Let there be light,” where light makes things visible and understandable, signifying birth and renewal.
I had a knack for not just capturing architectural forms but also telling their stories. My photography focused on shadows, people interacting with architectural surfaces, and the language of light, shadow, and space. My images often leaned towards minimalism and abstraction, highlighting form and light, especially under bright sunlight conditions, where shadows added depth and created abstract visuals. I employ cropped frames and oblique views as compositional techniques in my photography. By manipulating angles and perspective, I delve into experimental photography, often employing double exposure or significant cropping to achieve unconventional compositions.
