Photography

Lately, I have grown an interest in photography. So I decided to share this interest with you all.

This photo is part of an ongoing personal project of mine called “Finding Art in the Everyday”. It’s so fascinating how this picture is just a close-up image of a coffee-stained cup. It almost looks like a map—and it’s also fascinating how something lifeless can have so much life.

This was one of my first attempts at a close-up photograph, and for a first try, this was amazing. I still go back to those photos and stare, admiring the detail. How you can see the bubbles and that stain on the glass, the bubbles and shapes inside the ice?

Ever since, I have had an absolute obsession with close-up shots such as these. In fact, this was what inspired me to start the “Finding Art in the Everyday” project.

These are two of my first photos taken with my camera, the Canon EOS R10, my first step towards professional photography. It's also a part of my ongoing project, "Finding Art in the Everyday".

Is it just me, or do we sometimes forget that plants are alive too? Yet they don't feel pain—let alone feel. It redefines the moral meaning of "alive." It makes you wonder, what makes us alive? Sure, we breathe and walk and have organs like any other living being. But maybe our ability to feel is more living than anything else.

This is another photo I took on my Canon EOS R10. Each tile was painted and placed individually, which makes you wonder—how many of these tiles took longer than the others? Each of these tiles on its own is nothing, but when placed in such a specific order to make art, suddenly it's worth everything.

I will forever hold an obsession for anything built with bricks. Each bricks holds its own individual shape, special to itself. Some look more rectangular than others, some are more vertical. I think those bricks are a little like us. Sure, we're all bricks, but we don't look the same or feel the same. Maybe one brick feels smoother than another but it's still a brick.
