Cape Camera August 2023

Winner PDI – Open (Advanced) Benin Vodoo Swirling by Roger Trythall (24). An amazing shot which is very well done, particularly if
it was hand-held. Good colours and attractive leading lines that add to the swirling movement of the figure.

“The story is told of Michelangelo being asked about his methods

for sculpting. He replied simply that he worked on a block of mar-

ble, removing all that was not part of the sculpture until only the
sculpture remained. I suspect this oversimplifies the art of sculp-

ture, but it’s an excellent analogy for photography, which is

essentially an art of exclusion.”
