Blacksunlight's photostream

Try not to take pictures, which simply show what something looks like. By the way you put the elements of an image together in a frame show us something we have never seen before and will never see again. And remember that catching a moment makes the image even more unique in the stream of time. Also, try to do workshops with photographers whose work you admire, but first ask around to make sure they are good teachers as well as good photographers. Taking good pictures is easy. Making very good pictures is difficult. Making great pictures is almost impossible.

- Constantine Manos, Magnum Photographer

I'm a London based photographer, my inspirations come from Henri-Cartier Bresson, Helmut Newton and visionaries such as Frank Miller and John Woo. I like to create a unique style and look from these inspirations which is bold and stands out by itself.

I believe that light should not be a necessity, but instead be a tool that can be manipulated, shaped and adjusted in order to add atmosphere and a style to a photo.
