Ibrahim Ijaz

Creative Statement

At age 13 he experimented with painting. But he was unable to recreate the world more perfectly than it already existed. He needed a clearer view.

He would spend hours upon hours enveloped in nature, documenting the activities of swans, the behavior of dewdrops, and the nature of nature itself.

Now he shoots with a Nikon D5200. In his photography, he captures the perfect balances found within nature; he photographs the beauty of water, from its translucency and transparency to its reflective and refractive properties. He captures the raw emotions of animals and the nuanced expressions of man.

But beauty does not just exist in the natural form. Some select artists have perfected the balance and rhythm of nature within their creations. From this come his automotive and architectural shots.

Look closely. After examining his work, look closely and examine your world, and you will see the rhythms and balance in all; the nature of nature itself.
