Art | Photo Exhibition
It's always heartwarming when Artists support and acknowledge fellow Artists and it enhances much more creativity and mutual respect.
I am a fine artist and I enjoy the works of other artists regardless of their medium. Art just brings a certain kind of joy and calm to my being, I am not an Art critic! 'I am a lover of Art'.
That brings me to Photography an art form I love and recently, I have been looking at the Art Photography of my friend Tanko Yunusa, a well-traveled professional broadcaster and certified photographer with a passion for documenting nature and its inhabitants.
His photography captures the essence of nature's beauty and the spectacle of traditional festivities around his culture. He brings his audience into a place they wish to be or an event they would be delighted to be part of by just viewing and studying his unique take on photography.
As a color artist myself, his love of color and true appreciation of how color plays an important part in our lives and senses are what makes his work unique in my humble opinion.
I am not much of a photo critic, I just enjoy good Photography and Tanko's perspective in Photography is one we can look at and enjoy...check out more of Tanko's photography on his Instagram account -@yunusatankoa
