Today (I wrote this text on the 25th of April, 2023), I will provide some ideas about creation.
Undoubtedly, through creation, one gives color to the gray reality and to one’s personality. Of course, in my case, many people would say that I literally deduct colors of reality in my photographs and present them as the gray, mundane world. They would be right. Still, I do not treat the first statement of this text directly. For me, through creation, I give colors to the gray reality of my intimate world. Is the surrounding world full of colors or black, grey, and white? I know that there are places that are not vibrant in color. Still, I think we should accept that, in general, Earth is somewhat of a colorful place. I love walking and doing street photography.
Moreover, I love writing. In both cases, something appeared out of nothing.
While in the creative process, I move into other worlds. After all, is art not switching between what is and is not? Do we see the world in white and black colors, like in my photographs? No, we don’t. That’s why choosing B&W photography is an artistic approach for me. It is not the case that colorful photos cannot be artistic ones. Of course, they can be. Still, regarding photography, I have my own theory regarding colors.
When colors do not have a unique role, I edit the picture to black and white.
Does that mean I do it with all my images? No. I have some photos where the color is the most critical issue. Still, I do not publish these photos. Perhaps I will do it someday when I receive enough of them. Oops… I was supposed to write about creation in this. Undoubtedly, I will be writing more about it in the future. It is time to go to sleep.
