Reflections and Moments: A Year in Review Through My Lens

A year can be a long time, filled with countless moments, experiences, and emotions. For me, it's a myriad of opportunities to capture life through my lens. Although I haven't been able to fully sit down and curate a complete 'Year in Review' yet, I recently found myself going through a handful of photos that I simply couldn't resist sharing.

There's something genuinely special about ring shots. Whether it's an engagement, a wedding, or a celebration of some sort, these events often involve rings. Rings are symbols of commitment, of love, of a bond that's meant to last forever. And when captured in black and white, these ring shots take on a timeless, classic feel. They're reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour and vintage romances. The absence of colour allows the viewer to focus on the details, the lighting, the composition, and most importantly, the emotion.

However, let's not forget about the magic of colour. While black and white images carry a certain charm, colour can bring a photo to life. It captures the vibrancy, the essence, and the authenticity of the moment. It adds depth and dimension to the picture. The right balance of hues can invoke a certain mood or evoke a particular memory. Colour has the power to pop, to stand out, to make a statement.

Each photo I take is an attempt to immortalize a moment, to tell a story. And whether it's in black and white or in colour, each image holds a special place in my heart. It's not just about the subject of the photo; it's about the journey that led to that moment, the smiles, the tears, the laughter, and the love.

As I go through these photos, I am reminded of why I love doing what I do. I am reminded of the beauty in the everyday, the joy in the ordinary, and the love in the mundane. These photos are not just images; they are memories, they are stories, they are pieces of time forever captured through my lens. And as I continue to sift through my collection, I look forward to sharing more of these memories with you.

But for now, here are a few snapshots from my year. A year of growth, of learning, of capturing life one frame at a time. A year of seeing the world in black and white, and sometimes, in colour too. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
