Nude Photography 03

Briefing: I was approached by a TV presenter, that doing 35 years, wanted to have anude photo shoot with treatment of men’s magazine. This test would appear as areminder and if someone is interested, we could publish it.

Production: We decided by common agreement that production would be in a different house in a luxury condominium. Would be taken quite accessories, some lingerie, and also the service of a full time makeup artist, who was chosen the competent Marcos Antunes.

Photo Shoot: We arrived early at the location, and a good surprise, the house was wonderful. A quick tour, along with Renato Moraes, who would do a mix with the making of test and marking of sets is defined. Time to install the equipment. In this case I opted for a generator flash Atek, with umbrellas and scrim jim and camera as the Canon 5D Mark, that the option to make cut in post production to stay viable. All done, let’s shoot.

Comment: When photographing nudes always enjoy working with experienced professionals in this type of picture, and use a lot of relaxed conversation, to let the model’s confortable, and get a result that pleases everyone involved, even those whoenjoy the photos. Unfortunately I can not post pictures yet, but I leave you with the test video.

The return

My friends! Due to problems of everyday life, let this column stopped for a long time, more there I want, but it is time to start again. Internet has its fans and enemies, but it is undeniably a valuable marketing tool and its ease of reaching thousands of people at once. This is one of the ways I found to disseminate my work, and here is link for those who want to meet you.

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.

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.

Photographic Minds

Someone could tell me what best photographic equipment to make great pictures? Wrong are who points the brand A or B. The best equipment is your mind. The best picture is starting in his head and the camera is an extension of that. Take the best equipment in the world and put him on the tripod and let him shoot himself. let him choose the angle, the best lens , let him solve his magic moment to tighten the shooting. So no matter the equipment, but the Magic is that by behind him. To illustrate, some photos of the artist Rarindra Prakarsa that gifts us with sublime moments. His equipment? Only one detail.

Photographic Philosophy

Almost always when I am asked about how to start a project of photographic documentation, I reply with a sentence of the great master Otto Stupakoff: “Turn of the lenses of your camera for inside yourself.” This simple phrase can lead you to surprising places. See the example of my great friend Daniella Rosario, with its beautiful essay about children. When asked about from where came the inspiration for his photos, she says that the photograph HIS CHILDHOOD, the things she did, the games on the farm, their short memories. Then when lacking inspiration, shoot your soul.

Just Simple

A certain time, a lovely and these endless discussions about photography, someone told me something that profoundly marked: “The picture is as good as the story she account.” But how to do this when fashion photograph? How to flee the fighting as “hands on the waist”? This is the situation that separates the photographers. Then, to illustrate, show the example of my great friend Morgade, international renowned photographer, with his journalistic style of fashion photography. Just simple and beautiful

Photographic Marketing

One of the tools that a photographer can not open hand, if you want to survive, is the marketing, which can be done in several ways. One of these is the construction of a site. This is, without doubt, a powerful way to attract customers, but also a good weapon to give a shot in the foot.Yours, of course.Explain, when a person visits a site, they must be treated as a person that you have to impress. He wil note their organization, their talent and their chances of implementing the work that he has in mind. Then, my friend, if you have a site that not open because you have placed 250 photos, is outdated, with photos that are there for more than 5 years, say goodbye. An opening time only if it is to really hold the visitor until the end and that after see, it will not out any way. An example of this is the site www.nedharveyphotography.com. The opening is a delight and hardly a quality that you will not reach the end.

Photography or not?

Sometimes I have meet with purists who say that a manipulled picture is not a photo, Anything of art, but not a photo .Well, today, there is virtually no photo without manipulation, is changing colors, electronic retouching etc. .. In my opinion, I think we can fix itself in order to lexical “photography”, or anything that at some time was “writing with light” is photography, whether it is capture or in print. Nor I would welcome, who lose merit to this kind of photography. However, photographic art is everything that leads you to one kind of emotion, whether good or bad. When not be indifferent to any type of visual expression, you are in front of a work of art. The work attached is from excellent russian photographer Oleg Dou, with use programs that mixes photo-editing images (photoshop, 3d, airbrush?). His photos are highly manipulated, but still photos

Nude is Art?

The nudity has been used and appreciated in Art. And the photo would not be different. But what attracts so much in this type of art? It would be a simple answer as for sexual attraction?
Or is something more complex like an echo of our animal nature aimed at the perpetuation
Of the species? No matter the answer, what matters in art is doing well done with originality, with speeches, with technique.
I will cite the example of photographer Michael Ezra, with its complex compositions, his technical skill and mainly its originality.
