HONKMAGAZINE: What have you learned from architecture?

Majed: There is a massive power inside every person that he or she cannot take advantage of it. Human beings eat, drink and sleep more than they should. The average human being sleeps 25 years in life. There is a treasure of vitality inside me and every person, and the capacity to understand, endure and be patient… We do not use much out of that treasure, I try to make the most of it. It has no limits, no boundaries for creativity.

HONKMAGAZINE: Why just black and white? Is that creative or unique in some sense of meaning for you?

Majed: Black and white photography has a certain timeless quality that captivates me. When colors are stripped away from an image, only the essence of the scene remains. And photography then becomes a game of contrast between light and shadows and black and white are the purest colors in all forms for my line of work, especially architecture. When shapes matter more than anything, black and white bring them all out.

HONKMAGAZINE: How do you make this a statement in one line.

Majed: “To see in color is a delight for the eye but to see in black and white is a delight for the soul.” Said Andri Cauldwell. [Majed smiles.]

Art is global and the attention on my pictures are globally. My main fanbase, I cannot tell. More than 100 countries follow me on Instagram and there is a beauty in seeing the global traction.

HONKMAGAZINE: How do you decide where t take a photo? There are so many nice places, buildings out there. What captivates your attention?

Before deciding what to capture, I first try to dream and as you see a meaningful caption is applied to any of my work. There’s always a story in my head that I try to bring to life in pixels.
