  Bokeh Blur LIGHT AND SHADOWS Bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus areas in a photograph, typically seen as soft, blurred circles of light in the background. It enhances subject isolation and adds a dreamy or artistic feel to images. How to Create Bokeh: 1. Use a Wide Aperture (Low f-number) – A wider aperture (e.g., f/1.8, f/2.8) creates a shallower depth of field, making the background blurrier. 2. Increase Subject-Background Distance – The farther your subject is from the background, the stronger the blur effect. 3. Use a Longer Focal Length – Telephoto lenses (e.g., 85mm, 135mm, or 200mm) naturally compress the background, enhancing bokeh. 4. Choose the Right Background – Small, bright light sources (like fairy lights or city lights) produce beautiful bokeh shapes. 5. Position the Subject Close to the Camera – The closer your subject is to the lens, the more pronounced the background blur. 6. Use a Fast Prime Lens – Lenses with wide maximum aperture...

The photographs you take for clients rightfully belong to them. These images fulfill their vision, needs, and expectations, often capturing moments or subjects that serve a specific purpose—whether for business, marketing, or personal milestones. However, the photos you take for yourself, the ones that stem from your own passion, curiosity, and perspective, belong solely to you. These are the images that reflect your emotions, experiences, and artistic journey. They are an extension of your vision, unfiltered by external demands. In the end, it is these personal photographs that hold the deepest meaning. They reveal where your heart was at different moments in time—what caught your eye, what moved you, and what you found worthy of preserving.

  ART OF SEEING-GEOMETRY Most people look but never see. You only can see something that has connection to your awareness and consciousness. You need beautiful eyes to be able to see the beauty in the ordinary. The beauty of geometry, as seen by a mathematical mind, lies in its perfect harmony between logic and aesthetics. It’s the art of understanding the world through shapes, patterns, and spatial relationships, where every line, angle, and curve tells a story of balance and order. Geometry reveals the underlying structure of the universe, from the spirals of galaxies to the symmetry of a snowflake, offering a glimpse into nature’s design. To a mathematical mind, geometry is more than visual appeal—it’s a language of precision and reason. It’s where abstract concepts become tangible, as points and planes come together to form structures that are both elegant and functional. The simplicity of a circle or the complexity of a fractal isn’t just pleasing to the eye; it embodies pri...
