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 power of image

A large part of humanity lives today under the power of image. We are bombarded by it all the time, the outdoor ads are increasing, in tvs, in magazines. Finally, an avalanche already provided by the film director Ridley Scott, in his classic film Blade Runner. And in the midst of this massacre is that if visual highlight some photographers, who with his touch of genius can draw the attention and in some cases become the center of the controversy. Without shadow of doubt, one of these, it Oliviero Toscani. The photographer managed, with your photos, build brands and destroy concepts. Who does not remember the famous image of a priest kissing a nun? Away from the media for some years, returned last year with an image that ran the world, made for the clothing manufacturer, and that addresses the issue that is precisely one of the Achilles heels of this industry, with anorexia. The image is this and the conclusion of you and ladies.

Inspiration for Photography

From where comes the inspiration? For each type of artist it occurs in different ways. I remember a film about Pollock, which showed that his inspiration came when he saw footprints and dripping paint falling from his brush. One of the ways that inspire me are very videos clips, with its associated images to music, that really lead me to a trip, which usually lead me to a creative start. This video is part of this collection  I worship, and apart from everything he’s still a class of photography. This videowere directed by David Finche and it format with photos of expensive editorial is a bottomless pit of inspiration.

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.
