Photography. The Beauty You Capture

 


Warning!!!!! The following content is of a completely biased nature and fuelled by parental pride. This article I found online and written about my son.  Imagine if you were the father of this young man? Would your heart swell with pride as much as mine?

Say hi to Taj Kempe!


A little bit about him…...

Taj is originally from Perth. His family moved to Capel 8 years ago. He has just moved into Bunbury a few months ago and is loving living closer to town.



Perth atmosphere

Taj has been a huge music fan since he was little. His dad filled their house with music like Radiohead, Powderfinger and Rage Against the Machine. This ignited his passion for music so he learnt to play the guitar and started to produce, even releasing some tracks online. His focus started shifting towards photography in 2014. He was inspired by photographers online, good cinematography in film, exploring nature and city/street culture.



 
 
He bought a decent camera and a few lenses, started teaching himself and practising as much as he could. He found that photography follows a similar creative process as producing music but thinks it’s more adventurous and gives him more of a reason to explore or to get up at 5am. He still enjoys making beats in his spare time.






Taj studied building design after high school and currently works at Veen's Design Group as a building designer. In his spare time he is a freelance photographer doing work for Bunbury Regional Art Galleries, Bunbury Neighbourhood Soup, Skyfest, Good Nights and Christmas in the City. He recently broke into the world of wedding photography and really enjoyed it. If that didn’t keep him busy enough, he is an amateur DJ on the side.

What is his favourite thing about Bunbury?

The location. Convenient for getting to some of his favourite locations further down south as well as being close enough to make a day trip to Perth. There is so much going on in Bunbury right now. The city is pretty much a construction. So much exciting stuff to look forward to. The city is really evolving.


Who are his Bunbury Heroes?

Elle Dixon – Most hard working/talented graphic designer and all of the artists involved in Six Two Three Zero's ReDiscover Bunbury 2016 Festival.

The photo that leads off this story is of my son Taj. All other photographs I have added and have been taken by him. If you want to look at some excellent photography or are looking to employ a young, brilliant photographer go to: http://www.tajkempephotography.com/landscapes/

There is something about Taj's Photography - a certain melancholy - a quiet space - a raw artistic edge.
