Sunday Café - B&W Street C.S.Sellers - 2017 I only have three rules for my photography: 1. It must be candid: no posing/nothing staged 2. I prefer B&W/monochrome 3. Avoid photoshop You might wonder why... why candid... why monochrome... why no edits? I like candid because it challenges me to be dynamic and capture the moment. I have to be aware, I only have an instant. I like B&W, I was inspired by the likes of Doisneau. Before colour film or digital, we still had humans, we

Here's an image from my B-sides, for me, it's not 'quite there'... I see what I was going for; the dominating industrial structure looks like a conveyor belt, shuffling humans up one side, with nothing returning on the other. We see a few people caged in the lift. There is contrast in the people being conveyed out of the darkness below, up into light. There is contrast of themes: man vs machine, the human in their environment etc... but something is missing... I'm not quite s

Creatively, photography is an exercise in composition + originality; a craft of framing elements to most effectively tell a story... create an impression... or convey a mood. To become competent, you need to engage in play; exploration without attachment to outcome. My particular style is street photography since it's dynamic, candid and forces me to adapt to the conditions, people and environment around me. I prefer monochrome images; I feel a lot can be achieved with less.

Blur- Sydney, Australia [taken by me] circa. 2017 monochrome CREATIVITY is a verb... a 'doing' word... You might understand the recipe, it's another thing to cook the meal and in the end the proof may (literally) be in the pudding. To be a good chef, you need to cook a lot. To employ CREATIVITY reliably and effectively, you need to exercise it - not just in theory - not just on paper - in practice. The first step of training your creativity is engaging your sense of PLAY: exp

Skyline - Sydney, Australia [taken by me] April, 2021 On Friday I learned I'd missed out on a 12 month contract with an (inter)national organisation. I'd done everything right, prepared answers, prepared questions, even managed to come in with a days notice to present on their project. A week later after I followed up, I received the standard copy/paste email... "thank you for coming in... many quality applications... unfortunately"... Crushed... I took a nap. I woke up a few

Sundays are for Art; Why B&W?

Woman with purse - St.James Station C.S.Sellers - 2015 I get asked a lot why I prefer black and white photography? There are a lot of reasons, but once of the main reasons is I like the challenge of monochrome. Photography's origins were in monochromatic tones (sepia, black and white) and Artists were still able to evoke depth of character, emotion and tell a story using 'the basics'.... why can't we? I suppose the moral is not to confuse the tool with the process. Colour, fi
