To edit or not to edit?
Sunday, 23 June 2013
For each photographer, artist and then of course the "consumer" the question remains: to edit or not to edit?
How artificial do you like your art?
We have recently gone through thousands of websites to have a look at the latest photography trends and it seems that manipulating a photo beyond recognition reigns supreme... so where do our art fit in?
We believe that the Beauty should to be created when the shutter closes and not afterwards with the click of a mouse. We do not believe in excessive " plastic surgery".
We feel that you should merely enhance natural beauty ( like adding a bit of blusher to your cheeks) but not obliterate the moment you captured completely.
So where will our photographs fit it? The ones where the background does not vanish as if by magic, where a lions bloody scars still show as bloody scars?
Is there no longer space for images that were captured on film or captured on slides with "a what you see now is what we saw when the image was captured"?
So, we have decided that we will stick to what we love and keep our images natural but you also have to evolve with time and as humans strive for perfection we will aim to publish an "ART" series where photos are edited, manipulated and changed to create a different form of art.
Romanian Royalty

Romania has a sense of nostalgia like very few places we have been before...
It feeds your senses with hearty food, fiery vin fiert (hot spiced wine) and stories of vampires and their drop-dead gorgeous victims.
The scenery is what you would expect in an enchanted world or a middle-age fairy tale and they have some spectacular castles to boot! Coming from Africa to experience these in the middle of winter was absolutely enchanting.
Bran Castle below is particularly famous as it is also better known as Dracula's Castle even though no evidence was ever found that the bloodthirsty Count Vlad Dracul resided or spent any time at this fortress in Transylvania.

An extremely rare sight... we photographed this young white buffalo calf in a herb of about 30 a few days ago. He is pure white with a very protective mother!
