28 Clean and Minimal Photography Examples
Entry posted on Apr 23 by rafiqelmansy

Minimal photography is part of the minimal art concept that is based on the clean art style. The minimal concept depends on one object in the artwork or photograph, and balances this object based on art theories, such as the density of colors and the rule of thirds.

While minimal photography is simple and clean, it is a challenging type of photography because the viewer focuses on only one object. Thus, this object must be added carefully to the photo, but should not affect the total balance at the same time. In this post, we will showcase 28 Clean and Minimal Photography Examples from different photographers.

How to Create a Tilt-shift Blur in Photoshop CS6
Entry posted on Apr 19 by rafiqelmansy

One of the amazing new features in Adobe Photoshop CS6 is the Tilt-Shift Blur filter. Tilt-shift is a photography technique that creates a blur effect on images to give a miniature effect.It also adds a special depth of field effect to specific areas of the image.

The tilt-shift effect requires special lens to create both the tilt effect, where the lens rotates in relative to the scene, and the shift effect where the camera lens moves parallel to the scene’s plane. Since this effect requires a specific lens and techniques, it was not commonly used by photographers. Now, with the new Tilt-Shift Blur filter in Photoshop CS6, designers and photographers can apply a tilt-shift blur effect on photographs that are taken with ordinary camera lens or even small point-and-shot digital cameras.

Creative Digital Painting of Omnia Ali
Entry posted on Apr 18 by rafiqelmansy

I first met Omnia a while ago, during one of my lectures at Cairo University. At first glance anyone can easily identify her talent in drawing and painting. Although her main field is architecture, her drawings and paintings show a special talent to visualize not only the characters, but also the hidden emotions behind them.

After a couple of talks with Omnia, I advised her to start using Wacom Intous for digital painting and the results were very impressive. In a few weeks she could create really amazing digital paintings with her special touch of using colors, brushes and lines. Actually, I was and I am still amazed. It is very rare to find an artist who can immigrate from pen and paper to digital painting this fast, and take control of the Wacom tablet that easily.
