African Beach Calligraphy

PreviousNext

A very interesting idea comes to Andrew van der Merwe from Cape Town, South Africa – calligraphy on the beach.

Unfortunately these beauties are surviving in the wild about an hour before the wind bursts the sand or the sea to wash away the letters. Most of the forms are inspired by the African writing systems.


Много интересна идея има южноафриканския калиграф Andrew van der Merwe – калиграфия по плажа.

За съжаление тези красоти оцеляват в природата около час, преди вятърът да пръсне пясъка или морето да измие буквите. Повечето от формите са инспирирани от Африканските писмени системи, представляват своеобразен микс от тях.

    sometimes it is the short lived beauty that is most inspiring isn't it?

    I really like your blog by the way: bilingual, clean and optimistic indeed.Especially the design and the colors.

Few days ago my favorite film (Fuji 400 H) out of Few days ago my favorite film (Fuji 400 H) out of the blue was discontinued. At first I felt heartbroken - all the countless hours I’ve been spending working on the skin tones, the greens… I named even my dog Fuji. 🐶
Today I have a completely new feelings - the dark mood is replaced with an excitement. Because times changes and we need to adapt to those changes. I’ve always loved the grain of the Kodak Portra and my favorite earth tones looks amazing in it. I guess I’m so ready to start exploring and work even more harder. 
The announcement by Fujifilm actually created a really big buzz and all the film photography community meet in the Clubhouse and we discussed the topic till late at night. 
I pull out one of my all time favorite image photographed on Fuji 400 H. Swan looks amazing here and thank you @richardphotolab for the beautiful scans.
And now it is time for a hard work and more film. Portra film.

I usually try to keep my wedding work for @radostina.photography account but this time the images visually implement together two of my favorite styles: wabi sabi and mid century modern with the Earth tones color palette and I just have to share them too. I also was trying to photograph the things differently and more modern instead of classical. I also want to mention the amazing team behind this stunning photoshoot:
