So I am working on a personal project called “On the nature of light and colour.” It is a writeup that focuses on colours in photography, the way they truly are in nature, the way they are percieved by the human eye. I aim to analyze which tones appear more pleasing, why that is and ways in which post processing can alter colour in order to make it more pleasing to the viewer. This is very much a work in progress, but as part of it, I decided to get the opinions of a fellow photographer. His name is Marko Kovacevic, and he photographs under the name MKOV Photography. I met Marko many years ago, when he shot exclusively in film, and even developped his own black and white films at home. Lately he embraced digital photography for work, and I must say I am very curious about his take on the two mediums, the way they render colour, and how he uses that to form his style and express the messages he wants to express.
I will share with you some of his artwork, and below is the email interview that Marko agreed to participate in. Enjoy.
The interview will be displayed here below soon…
Hello Marko, thanks a lot for taking the time asnwering a few questions regarding light and colour in your photography. The questions below are part of a study that looks at the nature of light and colour versus what the human mind finds most appealing, and in turn, it looks at the means that photography is using colour calibration and tweaking in order to maximize the appeal of the final image.
To begin, this is Marko Kovacevic, a portrait and event photographer based in Toronto, his web site and sample galleries can be found at: http://www.mkovphoto.com
