Africa in Colour

 

 

Africa is known for its beautiful orange colours and deep blue skies.

 

This collection features the alluring vistas in their true African palette. I have included a select number of images that were taken from some of my other collections.

 

Although black and white is timeless and has its own set of emotions, colour is well known to invoke emotions linked primarily to different combinations and harmonies. With this collection, I set out to achieve just that.

 

I also included some images in this collection that border on being monochromatic and are typically experienced under the rising or setting African sun at dusk or dawn.

 

All images in this collection are reflections of my artistic vision of the colourful African landscapes captured by me in the most attractive regions of Southern Africa.
