An Owl In The Sunlight Photograph

Beauty is everywhere, just look around you. Misha. 28 years old. Ukrainian of Georgian descent. I am a self-taught artist. I studied the rules of composition, color harmony and contrasts by books, videos, more than 5 years of practice in creating artistic photography. I live in Ukraine, now there is a war here. in the frontline city of Kharkov. I try to find something beautiful in the surrounding ugliness. Making pictures is my therapy, my meditation and maybe now my life. A little bit about my process of creating an image: I go out with my camera to a chosen place. I don't hesitate to get dirty to find a good angle. From hundreds of photos, I select the best ones. I put on some music, most often classical, take my graphics tablet and start the longest and most painstaking stage: turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. I resort to drawing on top of the photo and collage if necessary to realize my idea. Here I want to share a part of myself with you. I photograph mostly nature, wildlife, landscapes and animals. I am very attentive to the photos I create, working out all the details. I can spend anywhere from a few days to a few weeks on each shoot. All I want to do is produce photos that you will hopefully hang in your home. Thank you to everyone who supports my work, it means a lot to me.
