Photography

I've dabbled a bit in photography although I prefer to draw and paint. I've always seemed to be lacking the kind of inspiration. Besides I don't like lugging around a camera everywhere. The inspiration came when I was in South-Africa I walked into a meeting of a photography club as they were demonstating the pictures they took for their last assignment. Photo's in which the subject isn't clearly shown. The pictures that I remember most was a close-up of an egg in a glass and a picture of a terras and its reflection in the glass. After this I started trying to take more abstract kind of photo's.

Ofcourse the second problem was solved when camera phones came on the marked and evolved to the point they could rival many digital cameras. Many of my photo's are taken with my iphone.

Pattern Photography

Focussing mostly on capturing the structure of the subject. Leaving out a background turns the subject into a background. I've taken pictures of clouds, leaves, fur but also the structure in rocks and wood. This way I have gotten a lot of interesting effects which I sometimes incomporate into other work. I becomes a background or a pattern. I want to experiment in using this in my drawings but haven't started yet.
