Ciao! I’m
Terry Randolph
It’s a process that involves intuitiveness, perception, and inner vision. As a photographer, I face the challenge of how to transcribe my perception via technical means to bring reality to what my instincts direct and my mind envisions. This makes for photographic expression.
ENJOY LIFE
Expand Your Horizons: Believe in yourself.
Find the positive in everything, genuinely appreciated the good things in your life, and have fun. “Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it.” ― Andy Rooney
PORTRAITURE ONE
Out of Africa-Fragility of human naturalness.
Photographic representation of the human body to reflect a figurative relationship defined by ages of art history; primarily through the medium’s unique position of artistic expression, application, form, and function.
CREATIVE SPACE
Photographic Conceptualizations
Symmetry to create a sense of wonder, appealing but unpredictable, expressed through individuality, visual but with a sense of purpose with an undefined sense of freedom and well-being; as it remains absolute.
DOCUMENTATION
Historical Time-stamped Photography (1965-80)
Photographs can be a visual collection of memories that shows the world and life in an entirely different dimension. It is essential to document events and people from class, cultural and ethnic backgrounds to preserve how they lived.

HIGHLIGHTS
Daily, I face a variety of choices and they always come with consequences. Should I avoid taking risks to avoid the discomforts that often comes with taking risks? Well, I take risks because it’s an operative word for ‘service’. Life is fleeting and we are here to learn, apply wisdom, and serve in ways that contribute to humanity’s progress.
Reminiscence
A collection in literary form of incidents that capture an actual moment in time, and of remembrances that convey a message of life as being liveable.
Nature
Nature photography covers shooting flora and fauna. This means plants, flowers, and animals, photographed in their immediate environments.
Exploration
Exploring the unfamiliar through my eyes to share the insights and stories that I believe are important for global, social, and cultural progress.
Field News
AfroFuture Ghana
AfroFuture was an event that opened up a wide field of possibilities. I captured candid shots, not prearranged, of people, objects, and occurrences as they happened. I strive to document an event where a single photograph presents the viewer with in-depth understanding what occurred.

Women Photographers Malaysia
Women Photographers Malaysia hosted a photographic event featuring Canon EOS Ambassador Grate Tan. This event involved a series of lectures, demonstration, and were combined with workshops designed to improve one’s photo-techniques.
Street Abstract
This street abstract is a portrayal of ‘guess work’ because it represents little, if anything, visible or recognisable in the real-world context; as its beauty depends on and comes through one’s vivid imagination, therefore, to reveal itself as a primary gift.
Lady Cook
Lady Cook. As I explored the environs of El Wak Stadium, Accra, Ghana, site of the Dec 2023 AfroFuture music festival, this lady, taking a break from food preparation, caught my attention. Revealed is a face that reflects the inner beauty of the one on which it rests.
Quiet Morning
Quiet Morning. Apartment Building. Penang, Malaysia (7am, 20 Jan 2024). Earth has not anything to show more fair: Dull would he be of soul who could pass by, A sight so touching in its majesty: This City now doth, like a garment, wear – The beauty of the morning … ⎯Wordsworth

Out & About
I’m adaptable and enjoy being ‘out and about’; available to share ideas about opportunities to photographically capture an opportune moment in time that portrays the Mystic Nightingale intonate its odes.

Museum
We see photography as an art-form worthy of wall space. The very special and crucial thing that affects photography is its relationship with reality. It’s designed to show viewers a distinctive narrative, a pathway through a three dimensional photo collage to elicit wonderment and enhance perception. To tell in images what words could not express, in other words, make learning visual.
We aspire to engage and educate through the exhibition, to preserve a collection of photography that dates from the mid-1960 to current photographic endeavours. This means to address contemporary, historical, cultural and conceptual themes that are global in nature, being true to the photographer’s adventurous spirit.
