Recognizing the self by photography!



Photography is my special interest. I love experiencing all kinds of photography, from arty to journalistic. However, I prefer an anthropological approach to societies. I like to discover all the hidden dimensions of each culture. In fact my photos explain how I view my surroundings. They indicate the angle from which I observe and the quality of them from my point of view. They always raise some questions: Do I see my surroundings smaller or bigger than their real sizes? Do they look sharp or blurred? How do their colours look like? Do they seem beautiful or ugly? Do they attract others? Etc. 

I also do like nature photography. When you take photos of humans, they might seem different, sorrowful or delightful. Nevertheless nature photography mostly deals with beauties, from clear blue sky to dark rainy clouds, from mountains to deserts, from seas and oceans to rivers, from trees to flowers, from wild animals to domestic pets, etc.They are all adorable and lively. 

I prefer old and vintage objects to modern, particularly digital, ones. I like artistic architecture. Object photography is quite popular. Even though, to me, taking photo of an object means you give life to them. That is why photography is a kind of creativity exercise, in which you develop this ability in yourself.  

Photography simply reflects what I like more and what I dislike. It exposes the tracks of my train of thought. It explores the beauty of things. It is a sign. A sign that indicates which paths I choose to see all around me. Let’s do photography then and enjoy recognizing the self.
