So how can you go about bringing forward an idea, a concept, or realistically document what’s happening? In essence, contemporary art must comprise an original idea, clearly defined and well-thought out and photographed, with something to say. Documentary, however, must tell as true a story, with a beginning and and end.

This is not to say that all photographs require heaps of preparation, set-ups and organization, but yes, that the true photographer would subconsciously be prepared to take the image when it is presented to him / her, and then have enough depth of analysis to present them in a certain manner that conveys the message, or the story. Yes, the making of a photo essay.

This talk deals with ifs and buts of expressing oneself through a body of work, be it in any genre,,,street photography, weddings, profiles. This talk caters for all those who who really want to complement their professional work with something unique and very personal. Standing out from the crowd.
