The One-Eyed Ornithologist (Aviculus unoculus) inhabits the woodlands of North America, exhibiting a peculiar behavior of hosting nesting birds during their mating season. This solitary creature, notable for its grumpy disposition and affinity for vitamin supplements, adheres to a strict sleep schedule, retiring early in the evening and rising well before the break of dawn, aligning its habits with the avian species it shelters.

About a couple of weeks ago I discovered that apart from all the wonderful things that Generative Fill can do it can also take care of halos and smoothen edges. I’d been working on a composite when I happened upon a common problem: rough edges and halos. Let’s jump right into this and deliver on the headline and I’ll talk about the implications and my thoughts about Generative Fill afterward. Now, I’ll show you how to do it.

“Bucket of Clown" is a 15x10” limited edition series of 50. Each piece is signed and printed on Hahnemühle archival paper for longevity. A certificate of authenticity is included.

Music is a big part of my life and I'm always surprised by how little it's a part of others' lives when I come across those odd meetings and gatherings where the music is inappropriately absent from the scene. I'd rather be complaining after such an event that "the music sucked" than have to endure time-space without rhythm and melody.

I’ve had a few conversations with people who are dead set against artificial intelligence at the helm of artistic creation, and they’ve expressed the same things to me. Some of these people are in creative fields and should know better, in my opinion. But the same arguments and sentiments persist about AI and new trumpeters will likely continue to take up the cause against it. I’m not making my plea to critics, for the record. And frankly, I don’t care about their stances against it. They’ve already lost the debate if history is to be trusted. I’m making my case to artists now who may be espousing these arguments and sentiments without having the benefit of a sincere evaluation of AI.

The worlds of production and post-production are on a collision course like two orbiting black holes that first met one another in the deep seems of intergalactic space. This is called a binary black hole. Eventually, they will merge as one and become more terrifyingly beautiful. This is what should happen when the worlds of production and post-production meet: they should take the shape of something magnificent, an artistic vision.

There are flashier beaches in Mumbai but Versova Beach is my personal favorite for photography and for a walk. With a wide array of subjects, from local and Koli communities to horseback riders, vendors, and fellow visitors, it’s a beach continuous with activity. There are also the methi farmers in the southern portion of the beach and the current Coastal Highway construction that’s reshaping the beach and local environment for the foreseeable future.

The number one thing that any artist can do right now in the Online Realm is to get a domain and get a website. Pay some money. Own that space. And control the message. Your message. Your art. Your life.

I don't consider myself a documentary photographer. I occasionally take pictures, that if were part of a much larger and more precise body of work, could be considered documentary in nature. But the reality is there's only one project that has been dear to me in the past decade and I only photograph that part of Kolkata real estate too infrequently.

Had a fantastic meet n' walk with Gopal @mumbaipaused yesterday. I don't think either one of us was planning on a little jaunt along the shores of Versova Beach in the heat and not-so-great light but that's where the photography gods lead us during high tide.

A sneak peek at a work in progress. This will eventually be part of a new limited edition series on canvas. I'll be exploring images sourced from another location in Mumbai. I don't know what size I'll be producing yet, but I'll limit each image to 2 or 3 prints for collectors.

The line between being a photographer and being an artist is a blurry one. Many photographers struggle with the question of whether or not their work is considered art, and what steps they can take to make the transition from photographer to artist. In this article, we will explore this distinction and provide some tips on how to make the shift from photographer to artist.

Throughout the history of photography, the square or 1:1 ratio has been a traditional format, particularly for medium format cameras such as Hasselblad, Mamiya, and Rolleiflex. The aspect ratio of 1:1 provides a unique canvas for photographers to explore, offering a different perspective from the more commonly used 3:2 ratio. It’s also more painterly, in my opinion, more “artsy”.

I wanted to share with you all today about how shooting for the crop has become an essential part of my street photography. Sometimes, certain scenes jump out at me, and I know the camera frame isn't going to be perfect. That's where cropping comes in.

Recently, I took a shot of a building with a motorcycle embedded in the upper floor. To capture the full essence of the scene, I needed a vertical shot at 24mm. Even with this, I had to crop in and break the ratio because the sign with the motorcycle to the left was pictured the same, and there was open space to the left of the building.

I recently asked Chat GPT to interview me about my transition to an artists. Yes. You can set ChatGPT up to do this! You just have to spell out the parameters and it does all the rest. I asked ChatGPT to ask a question and wait for my reply before proceeding so that it would be like a real interview in real time. This marks the first time I’ve been interviewed by artificial intelligence. It was an interesting experience and now I think ChatGPT has talked its way into helping me plan my next exhibition!

I always strive to have my camera with me at all times. But there are days when I'm running errands, meeting friends, or just going about my day where carrying a camera can be cumbersome. That's where my phone camera comes in as my trusty backup camera.

Mirrorless cameras are a great tool for creating abstract art. With their lightweight, compact size, and advanced features, mirrorless cameras offer a wide range of creative possibilities for photographers looking to experiment with abstract photography. In this article, I will share 20 ideas for creating abstract art with a mirrorless camera.

I’m always exploring new techniques to push the boundaries of what's possible with a camera. One of the most exciting and creative techniques I've discovered is Intentional Camera Movement, or ICM. This technique involves deliberately moving the camera while taking a photograph, resulting in abstract and often surreal images that blur the lines between photography and painting.

As one of the most powerful features in Photoshop, blend modes allow you to combine multiple layers in a variety of ways to achieve a wide range of effects.
