When I look at photography, I also see it as an art form. I use colours, composition, and perspective and make them work together. I don't limit my thoughts to seeing an image or an attitude without limitations.
As a Harlem-based artistic photographer, I encourage you to explore your intimate self. See how I complete a photo essay and what I want to tell. Recognise how I keep the beauty of history in a sense, and show you how erotic and sexual I want you to feel about yourself.
Edward Weston, Helmut Newton, James Barnor, and Ansel Adams were great masters of photography.
Ansel Adams's black-and-white landscape was rich and full of tonal qualities. His creation of the zone system made his black-and-white images look like colour images. These photographers are the real masters of modern-day photography.
Edward Weston's images of peppers and how he utilised shadows and light to render those peppers as art are impressive. I urge most young photographers to learn lighting to view Mr. Weston's pepper images.
James Barnor, Ever Young, a Ghanaian photographer based in London since the 1990s, spans six decades. Although Barnor's work was not widely known during that period, it was later discovered by a new audience. In his street and studio photography, Barnor represents societies in transition during the 1950s and 1960s, as Ghana moved toward Independence. He taught me to look at fashion through a more discerning eye, which I use every day.
Finally, Helmut Newton freely photographed women in his book Big Nude, creating an illusion that made me feel as if I were there. This master made me see the female body as art we don't want to look for. The way each part of the individual body is connected is an art all by itself. That was the freedom of Helmut Newton I discovered.
