Good photography comprises of many factors; composition, exposure, timing, and the ability to see and anticipate a moment to capture. A skilled photographer can bring all these factors together, quite literally, in a fraction of a second to produce a stunning photograph. This is particularly true of photojournalism, one of my favourite styles of photography. Working often in life threatening situations, and to demanding deadlines, a photojournalist must get the shot that tells an entire story to a readership – yes the picture that tells a thousand words.

Within this particular framework a single, strong image works well. In other formats available to photojournalists, such as book publishing and exhibitions, they are able to present a complete body of work as a photo essay. Either way, their work is always contextualised with additional information which connects you more to the work.

When I view photography online a high proportion of it is presented as random single images.mWith a lack of consistency and little or no additional information on why the photos have been taken it’s hard to appreciate whether the photographer crafted the image for a purpose or whether it was a fluke.  After a while, looking at pretty photo’s just doesn’t cut it for me.

As a photographer I see the world as a series of forms, colours, tones, light, and subjects. With Kiritia Images I aim to engage the viewer with what I see and think through my work. There are many photographic project ideas in the mix with new themes and concepts being researched that will be updated on the site.  So you’re very welcome to the site, and come back to visit for the updates.
