NEW, DIFFERENT and UNUSUAL are the most exciting words in the English language. They set my heart racing and my camera clicking.
​
Photography has changed so much in the past years. Sophisticated digital tools have become accessible to all of us, which make it easier to be creative. Rather than spending time setting up a shot, framing subjects and adjusting settings before clicking, I now take a dozen shots in rapid succession, hoping that at least one turns out (it usually does). And then I spend time on my computer using Luminar Neo and Topaz Sharpen AI, to shape that image into a unique expression.
After selling my SLR camera, I now use a Google Pixel 7 Pro smartphone camera. It's actually an expensive camera that makes phone calls, too! Believe me, it's a lot easier when you're photographing a crowded market in India – and less conspicuous.
​
I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoy creating them.
