Windows to the Soul (Single)
DESCRIPTION
A portrait of a friend, captured using natural light coming through a small frosted-glass window at camera right. While waiting in a hotel room for another friend's wedding a couple of years ago, I noticed how the window was diffusing the harsh sunlight into the room nicely, so we decided to have some fun and do a portrait session by that window, using just the ambient light coming through it. This is one of the photos from that session.
AUTHOR
An international award-winning hobbyist B&W fine-art photographer who often seeks the abstract and the minimal in architecture and seascapes through daytime long-exposure photography.
I am a Syrian expatriate of Circassian descent currently living and working in Saudi Arabia. At the end of 2014 and at around the age of 30, I picked up a new hobby: photography, and so far I haven't let go.
In the beginning, I explored portrait and landscape photography, but I always found myself generally gravitating toward the abstract and the minimal. That's why I'm currently focusing on black-and-white fine-art photography, and particularity the application of long-exposure and advanced B&W processing techniques to architectural and seascape photography.
