  • This is a captivating culinary creation. An orange-infused cake emerges delicately encased in a glistening gelatin layer. Created by Chef Vincent, I choose to photograph it in a low-key lighting set up, to accentuate the cake’s alluring charm and moodiness, and create a tantalising visual symphony.

  • Editing gives you another shot to improve a composition. You can crop for visual impact, brighten areas of interest, and darken areas you want the eye to skip over.

  • Black and white presents the viewer with a singular message; it gets rid of the complexities and differences of colour. It forces the eye to examine the content; it keeps the mind free from excess data.

    • The dreaminess of this photo makes me think of all the stories. The sameness yet uniqueness of every building is very much in contrast to modern matchbox developments with their carbon copy apartments. Something very romantichistoricalmythical in this photo, almost like 1001 Arabian Nights. This picture is serious but it also makes me think of…Read More

    • I love this “river” of people. It reminds me of a couple of lines in a poem we did in school by Mongane Serote about Johannesburg:
      “…I travel on your black and white roboted roads
      Through your thick iron breath that you inhale
      At six in the morning and exhale from five noon…”
