about anticipating a

at the exact fraction of

wildlife photography are really
interesting. And I find Imran
Ahmad to be really inspiring.

underwater his lighting are so
perfect and the pictures are so
colourful and inspires me a lot.

Within youThis is one of his favorite and epic
photograph. The picture is divided
into 3 parts. The fore ground,
background and the reflection in
between. The picture is
asymmetrical and the point of
interest is on the girl who is placed
approximately at the center of the
frame but in the fore ground to have
the main focus. The picture have
warm colour tone which gives the
viewers the coolness of the ocean.
Indian oceanHe used Dutch angle. Through this picture we could feel the
presence of being into the picture. We could see the fore ground and the background are cut diagonally .
AliveVery artistic cool colour tone.
The Dutch angle he used helps
the picture to have an
interesting point of focus on the
jelly fish. The picture has depth
of field where the jelly fish is in
the main focus.
FOUND NEMOMonochromatic colour tone of a close up. The picture has
contrasting colour tone and he has used shallow depth of field
