Dream

For this month features, Sabahan lad currently studying Art and living in the UK. Yeen Uzair, After studying a for quite a while in Europe. Her perspective towards world of Art has change her view about photography.

Let her do the talk about her world of art and Photography :

Photography is a budding interest in me. My skills and knowledge on pure photography are limited so i use what i know with what i have to create something decent for all to see.

Dream

Something that i take pleasure in doing. Recently, I started a self initiated project where i took a picture a day to improve my skills in photography, throughout the undertaking, i noticed a certain change in my style, I began to manipulate my pictures more and more and it has become somewhat surreal and i love doing it!

Art Nouveau-ish - her favourite art movement

This leads me to where I am now. I enjoy making bizarre things with my photographs as much as i love taking pictures of my subjects. Being a graphic design student, this is just the perfect combination for me.

Singing in the rain

I often look at other artists' photographs, illustrations, sketches etc for inspiration, at the same time allows me to open up to new things and be experimental with my photography. I'd say, I make art rather than photographs.

Self Portrait

Photography and photo-manipulation has become a part of me. It is like painting on canvas where anything is possible.
