A Digital Camera Has To Be Kept In Check Like A Racehorse

“A lot of people in the art world hate to use the word “Photoshop” like it’s cheating or easy or something. I say bollocks to that. It’s my tool, my paintbrush if you like, and lets me create my own visual language.” – Idris Khan

This mindful approach not only conserves space and time but deepens your connection with your subject, making each photo a meaningful chapter rather than a forgotten snapshot.
