Black and White prints have a special relaxing elegance about them that can reduce the stress on the workplace. Any work place can become a place with bustling activities. The workers are pressurized to work with stress. They are supposed to carry out their duties within the stipulated time. Target and achievement are part and parcel of any work place which strives for its progress. The world is full of competitions. Hence, in this competitive world each work place aims to excel in its performance when compared to that of other work places of a company. At the same time, quality of performance is not ignored. The workers have to achieve the targets assigned to them by the authorities within the time limit. They are stressed both physically and mentally. Every one of us has an inclination to enjoy nature. Nature gives a great solace to the soul. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Nature reflects one’s feeling. If we see natural scenery we forget ourselves for a moment. Our mind is filled with pleasant feelings. The water fall, the hill slope, the cliff of a mountain, the river and the trees with their blossoms captivate us. Photo artists use their imagination and create pictures of beauty. They present what they see in nature. With their imagination they add beauty to their black and white prints. They use natural colors which would be a pleasant treat to the eyes.

The black and white prints are done with great care so that they exhibit the talent of the artist. We wish to travel to the places of nature in order to relieve ourselves of the stress we experience in our work places. The beautiful meadow attracts any one with its greenery. Psychologists say that relaxing images have a soothing effect on human minds. Every one of us wants to find a diversion from every day worries. Time spent on visiting places of nature rejuvenates us to take up further targets. No one can deny the fact that cities have become the places where natural vegetation finds no place. Increase in the number of vehicles need widening of roads. The trees which grow on either side of the roads have to be cut down. City life is growing more and more artificial these days. We long for the shade under a tree on any summer day. The painters take a lot of pain to present their creation with their best possible skill. The corporate offices are provided with air conditioners which give artificial cool air. No building is built in such a way that wind is allowed to blow into it freely through the windows. In cities, lack of space causes the building of structures with poor ventilation. The work places mount the nature black and white prints on their walls in order to reduce the stress that has been developed in the minds of the employers. With nature black and white prints create the atmosphere inside the work place becomes pleasant.

The workers become gentle and soft while talking with their superiors, colleagues and the clients or customers. The smile on the faces spreads happiness among the workers. The nature art print which has mountains, trees, rivers, waterfalls, animals and birds painted on it is being watched every now and then consciously or unconsciously by the workers in the work place. Their hearts are filled with happiness which brings a smile on their faces while interacting with others. A smile naturally spreads itself. One can see the huge mountains slopes covered with snow with a picture of a polar bear. The person who views the art print enters into the world of imagination for a few minutes. The stress in him is reduced temporarily. The stress relief enables better performance and thereby the anticipated goal is achieved.

To me branding is about communicating your unique passions. The art plays a big role in it but the story around the art is just as much. It is more then just a logos and branded stationary. Having said that as a developing artist I am still developing my branding, which means clarifying my personal story and vision. I got into photography because the very process of it uplifted me. The more I do it the more the world opens up around me, it is though I can see more refined details, which is just divine.

I often use a polarizing filter in my nature photography. For example the filter is extremely useful in cutting down the reflection in the water. Have a look at my Creek Photography gallery to see how it turns out.

It also works great intensifying the colors of the sky and clouds.

Photographing a light source like a flash light or those florescent glowing tubes can be so much fun. You set the shutter to slow speed say 1/8 up to 1 sec at 100 ISO, point it at the light source and keep moving the light source. Some call it light painting. The idea is to keep experimenting with different speeds and ISO settings to get different effects.

Here is an example of a light painting one of my images that is called " Galactic Rose" because it looks like the whole universe is inside it. Its a two layer composite 1) The Rose 2) Light Painting which you will see if you look closely at the texture.

Why doing what feels good is so important in marketing.

I hope you will agree with me that Art is one of the rare professions where most of us do it not because we have to but because it feels good. But then why when I mention the word marketing I see many of my fellow artist cringe - "Ohh that thing I should be doing but I am not". My theory is that it is partly because many of us cannot find a way of marketing that feels good, that is a natural extension of who we are. I mean do you wake up in the morning and just cannot wait get going with your marketing activities?

I want to share with you a personal story. One of my hidden ambitions in life was to become an actor. So one day I enrolled into Improvised Theater School. This school was run by a man named Al Wunder, a cuddly charismatic teacher originally from Brooklyn NY. As part of the training you were given 5-10 minutes to do whatever you feel on stage, no prompts, no script. The only rule was that you do what feels good to you, what you enjoy. Also the other students were allowed only to give feedback regarding what they enjoyed about your performance. You will not believe how difficult it was for me and many other (some professional actors) to do that. We were so conditioned to self criticism that we forgot how to simply enjoy ourselves on stage. I spent three intensive years in this school and it was one the most healing and trans-formative experiences in my life.

So if marketing is simply another form of self expression how can you find the joy in it? What can you do that feels good?

Photography is a meditative process for me where I get in the zone so to speak. At times I get a great shot right away and then nothing for a long time. Other times I struggle to get into the the zone until the last few shots. But the secret to getting good shots is persistence and as much as you can detachment to the result. Just in enjoying the process.
