世界はColour:満
Sekai ha Colour: FULL
(The World is Colour: Full) is
a new project of mine to explore the use of bright colours in digital
photography to tell a different story of the everyday world that I see. In a sense, this project main function is to encourage me to explore different techniques in the hope that I will stumble upon new perspectives and creative processes that are otherwise not apparent at first glance.
Another aim of the project to expand my photography skills into areas that I have up until now not explored. For those that are aware of my usual photographic habits, I am usually occupied with the documentation of events and gatherings and sharing them with the participants.
The characteristic of this collection
is obvious in the title that I have given it.
The title, as one can see, is mixture of Japanese and English. The word 世界は (sekai wa) can be translated into English as 'the World'.
The last character 満 (man) means 'full' in English. This last character serves two meanings. The first meaning is that the World is full of colour and the second meaning serves as a suffix to the root word colour to make the word 'colourful'.
Adding unnatural colours to a photograph has the ability to enhance certain characteristics of the landscape or subject that are otherwise hidden by the glow of what we perceive as the norm.
I have found it to be a refreshing project that has had the potential to turn photos that are otherwise ordinary when viewed within the normal colour spectrum into works of art.
By manipulating the colours of these photographs, I can wash away the parts of the picture that I want to detract and emphasise the parts that I want the audience to see.
It must be said that this cannot be applied to all photographs and I have found that it still requires a certain level of skill (and a good photograph in the first place) to know what to look for, what has potential and dismiss those that you sense are not worth wasting your time.
