Black and white portraits and minimalist places dissolve into a calm, lucid silence—where light sculpts the hidden side of the soul and architecture reveals its poetic geometry.

Moments suspended between consciousness and dream, memory and presence, a journey in the language of introspective visual and photographic poetry.

In ogni immagine si consuma una silenziosa trattativa tra visibile e invisibile.

I ritratti in bianco e nero e i luoghi minimali si dissolvono in un silenzio lucido—dove la luce scolpisce il lato nascosto dell’anima e l’architettura rivela la sua geometria poetica.

Attimi sospesi tra conscio e sogno, memoria e presenza, un viaggio nel linguaggio dell’introspezione visiva e della poesia fotografica.

Just to get him to sit still for ten seconds is a miracle. He doesn't.

And he didn't.

Lambency by Axel Bührmann

Just taken delivery of a flash diffuser (I just can't stand the idea of a flash drowning out an image) and have been playing around with it a bit - this is one of my first photographs.

This one is done with the amber cone - you have to set your camera to tungsten; pretty neat if you ask me.

Buying this kit (it's called the Lambecy Flash Diffuser) from www.extremeshop.co.za was a quick and easy affair, and rang in at 1/3 of the price it would have cost me to bring it in via the likes of wantitall.co.za. I couldn't find these things in local shops.

Here's a pretty thorough write-up of how it all works if you're interested. Now to use it "in the field" as it were.
