Pointillism is, according to Sotheby\u2019s<\/a>,\u00a0\u2018a revolutionary painting technique pioneered by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac in Paris in the mid-1880s. Yesterday, I discovered it could be a pioneering technique for modern photographers. Unless it\u2019s not that new as we will find out in a moment.<\/p>\n

Pointillism Painting With My Camera<\/h2>\n

\u2019 A watercolourist originally, I moved to photography 12 years ago. I\u2019d always practised photography too, but it\u2019s only then that it started to become a very serious affair for me. Recently I bought a brand new Nikon Z9 camera equipped with\u2009\u2013\u2009amongst other things\u2009\u2013\u2009a super sharp 40\u00a0mm f\/2 lens. As I was fiddling with my camera and getting ready for an outing, I pressed the shutter release button incidentally and realised that I could paint with my camera too. Here is what I found out.<\/p>\n

Pointillism, 2025 Style<\/h3>\n

Painting with one\u2019s camera may seem strange but the rendition of that shot of the houses in the backyard of our apartment building came as an epiphany. What if one could paint, not with brushes but pixels? After all, all kinds of techniques are acceptable and it\u2019s not because modern digital cameras were made to depict reality with utter precision that other approaches aren\u2019t possible.<\/p>\n

\"Pointillism\"<\/a>
I don\u2019t know whether Seurat would be happy with my work, but this attempt at depicting a pixellated reality through the cracks of a blind inspired me for today\u2019s post.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

As it happens, our photo club in Paris focused a lot on unfocused pictures recently. It\u2019s a new trend, which in a way isn\u2019t that new. Benedicte is our Chief Culture Officer, as it were. She inspires us, once a month, with examples taken from famous artists and photographers. As it happens, she spent a lot of time showing us the work of Ernst Haas, a master in the art of blurry pictures. He too was enthralled by the possibility of \u2018painting with his camera\u2019. His photographs are stunning and can be found on the IP website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ernst Haas and his mesmerising pictures<\/h3>\n

The main picture that caught my eye was that New York City\u00a01980 rush hour shot. Talking about painting with a camera, this may not quite be pointillism but expressionism, rather. Nonetheless, Haas was a master, and a self-made photographer too. Probably the only thing we may have in common.<\/p>\n

Yet I\u2019m quite proud of my dotty picture (pun intended), and the way the buildings are described, however imperfectly, through these points of coloured light.<\/p>\n

Want to know what\u2019s behind the blind? Not to worry, I made a watercolour, or rather a series of watercolours, on that subject. Here is the latest.<\/p>\n
