Margate Beach 01, KZN, 2022
ISO 100, 0.3 sec at f/11. Canon EOS-R with a 19mm lens. Tripod, NiSi ND filter
Captured this underexposed image during sunset on a bleak day at Margate Beach after my wife lead me to this spot. Lightroom edits involved substantial dodging and burning with radial masks to accentuate the atmosphere. Even though I prefer black and white, this picture works much better in colour.

The more abstract forms of photography like impressionism and minimalism intrigue me. I prefer creating images that depict energy, mood, and silence. To illustrate my themes, I use mainly long exposures, selective focus, and focus blur. My philosophy is that the camera is just a paintbrush and that thought-provoking images stem from a developed mind.
