Beauty is in the Eyes of the Beholder

So they say, we are often mesmerized by what our eyes see but yet we forget what we see is only just the surface and never looking beyond what beauty defines. Juxtaposed against nature's perceptive point of view, what exactly does that mean? It is never about what we see it is always about what we think we would like to see.

Nothing in this world is ever so ugly that can't be made beautiful just like our very own beauty, in fact these days, cosmetic surgeries are well-known and going under the knife is considered a norm and let's face it, where beauty allures, we stand to gain all. True isn't it? The noble context of beauty is always skin deep, the question I have is, how far will we go? What is the price we pay to gain what we think we deserve?

The same context applies to photography, I love the very nature of photography that comes with unique editing styles and variations to define the lustre of each coloured shots. Remember, I may be the photographer but I am also the composer and how I choose my shots define my character and whether or not it oozes the appeal it deserves, I make that judgement call. And ultimately, I beautify the very nature of what is in my eyes and the imagination I have.
 
I love it when they say, there is NO WAY you could do the impossible but who's to say that a caterpillar can't turn into a beautiful butterfly? To me, beauty is definitive to the eyes of the beholder, even an ugly photo can turn heads, it is how you reconstruct the impossible to fit beauty that speaks not just to you but those around you. Iphotography is about creating an imagination beyond the realm of reality and that's the crux of it from the start. I may be the creator and composer but ultimately I am the one who makes all things beautiful beyond your imagination.

Here are some of my shots taken by the Iphone 3GS and Iphone 5, a mirage of beauty perhaps, stark contrast to what would you'd probably never imagine? I will let you be the judge to that.

 

Perception is using creativity in defining "dull" moments of photography and bringing it out alive. After all, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. These are my edits filtered with photoshop, snapseed, qbro, VSCOCam, prohdr, and photofx.

 



 

I will leave you with this food for thought:

 

Beauty - in projection and perceiving - is 99.9% attitude. ~ Grey Livingston

Till my next posting, I hereby bid you good day, goodnight and remember, beauty is always perceptive and the noble means of beauty is always SKIN DEEP.
