Nude is Art?(2)

One of the items to be considered in a work of art is its originality. Then a photograph of the naked, besides having a tenue line between obscenity, as I said earlier, has yet to be extremely original. I believe that the photo must have a speech and this must be our imagination to other horizons, and that its implementation has this strain of creativity and talent to become a work of art. In this post I would cite Elena  & Vitale Vasilieva, especially in this serie of women fill in mud. I find it very original, and took me to think about the studies in clay, and that will be the basis for large sculptures as the Pietá, for example.

Cover making of

A cover of a magazine is always very important for all involved, either because they leverage sales of the magazine, is the portfolio of photographer and model. Then the production details that have most often escape to readers. Then we go:

Meeting of creation: For the cover of the magazine INBOUL the creative staff has determined that the theme would be “City Vision”. What I would have to do something that would lead to a referral of large cities and that still maintain a pleasant climate.

Production
: With my philosophy of trying to not complicate things, and bearing in mind the directive of creation, for choosing the particular model, which fell  on this future top model, Duda Morais, that its clean look, with her short hair, and therefore outside the standards of current models, look like the street kids. For the clothes chosen by only a shirt male, recalling the situation of modern girl who sleeps in the house of the boyfriend.

Implementation: For the photo sessions, as almost always work alone, without assistants, I have chosen a basic lighting, with only an umbrella and a gold reflector. The makeup woman Ge, has done an excellent job, with a clean makeup, that the situation demanded. I always  work with films, and I know that visor is more  i important to look digital displays, and provided with excellent work of the model, we have only 40 clicks, in more or less 30 minutes, desqualifying  the myth that in the digital age, we need 1000 images to achieve an interesting result.

Post production: Choosed 5 pictures that could give a good result, left for finalisation, made by the director of art Matheus, of retoucher company  Audace, which chose to run a background in 3d, recalling a graffiti wall , which actually completed the climate that I had imagined. Lights yellow applied to complement, basically the yellow reflector that I had applied in the photo, were made with the five test pictures chosen and the result is this:

Inspired by Chanel

One of the extensions of the work of a photographer is the direction of films and videos. After all these are just photos, which once designed a sequence of 24/30 frames per second, in the sense of forward motion. As photo, also needs a talent for environment, light and action, and many photographers have been left very well in this role, so much so that some of them never returned to the photo static. The example of today goes to photographer and director Bethina Rheims, who made a memorable film for Chanel See the film and after the making of. It is worth

Conceptual Photography

The conceptual art is a little difficult to explain and to understand, but a simple phrase may shed light on the subject: “The conceptual artists are more mystical than rational, they proceeded by jumps, reaching conclusions that can not be achieved by the logic” ( Sol LeWitt); The art is no longer considered to be primarily a visual display of ideas and thoughts. One of the best artists I know is MIsha Gordin. This conceptual photographer, who is one of the winners of the world, makes the photo image of your dreams in a way that has a thin line between insanity and poetry. The image is beautiful, and its concept, is in the imagination of every.
