Photography isn’t about reality for me, it’s about creativity.

Back in the “olden days” when I began my photography journey, we had to rely on physical filters such as polarizers and neutral density filters to control light and achieve desired effects. Additionally, creative darkroom techniques like dodging, burning, and color manipulation were essential for developing and enhancing photographs before the digital era.

The advent of digital cameras and advanced computer technology has indeed revolutionized the field of photography and graphic design. With tools like Photoshop, artists and photographers can manipulate images in ways that were unimaginable just a few decades ago. These programs offer a plethora of features such as layering, color correction, and digital compositing, which allow for the creation of complex and visually stunning images. Moreover, the efficiency of these tools enables professionals to produce work more quickly without compromising on quality, thereby enhancing productivity and fostering greater creative expression. The digital era has not only made these creative pursuits more accessible but has also expanded the horizons of what can be achieved artistically.
