Art Through Perspective - A Fine Art Photo Project With Meshach Pierre-Archer

It’s almost 12am and I really don’t plan to make this a long post, but I need to make some notes before I forget something or the other about this.

I call it a photo project, but it’s really a collaborative effort that keeps evolving in different directions. I met with Meshach for lunch / coffee at the Coffee Bean on Church Street to begin some serious discussion about producing some fine art prints of our photos. We decided to start with the theme ‘Seawalls’, and things progressed from there.

It was decided that on Monday, 8th August, 2022, we’d do our first photo walk on the Seawall to shoot some birds (with our cameras), and other interesting things along the way. Quite amazing how my whole photographic experience and method changed through this one experience - I saw the seawall and beach in a whole different light because I had never actually taken time to observe the birds, fish, or plants at the beach until yesterday. It’s like this opened a whole other world for me and I’m truly grateful for that (thanks Meshach!).

So, there’s still some editing to do because I took a whole bunch of photos ranging from landscapes / seascapes, birds and other wildlife, plants (young mangroves - maybe), people. I had a great deal of fun and learned quite a lot - I’m sure Meshach did too.

After an epic sunset, it was time to get some refreshments and leave the seawall. The day was quite busy for me with work, but the photowalk truly helped to clear my mind and allowed me to focus on somethings I truly enjoy - nature, photography, and learning new things.

The gallery here has a few shots I took and edited so far - there are quite a few more to run through and I’ll be adding them a bit later… maybe in this post or another.
