PhotographyBLOG Portfolios: Sturla Strand
The 66th PhotographyBLOG Portfolio has been submitted by Sturla Strand.
“Taking black and white photographs is for me the most natural way to express myself artistically. I try to envision the subjects I am shooting without color, which I often find a distracting element. This way I can concentrate on lines, shapes, forms and shadows - the little details that people for the most part overlook. When it comes to the subjects I choose to photograph, I have found that certain places have a special kind of attraction to me. These places I visit over and over again under different lightning conditions, trying to capture them the way I want. Some of my best black and white photographs are taken only a few hundred meters from where I live. This proves the point that you do not have to travel to exotic places to find good motives. I often feel that the motives come to me, rather than the opposite. I am constantly trying to improve my photographic skills in terms of expression and motives.”

Liked a lot of the shots but at least 50% would be improved by cropping (in order to draw attention to the main subject).

I like the pictures, you seem to be able to spot opportunities. They remind me of an early morning just as people are begining to stir, makes me think of solitude and peace and may be autumn or winter time, that fresh and clean air feeling. If that makes any sense:-)

Ignore the person who said crop. Your B&W pictures are the best I've seen in a long time. Very inspirational.
