Spencer Tunick: massive nudes in the big cities

To simple sight it would be difficult to believe that “this“ that floods this photo is an enormous mass of naked bodies. But yes, it it is. It is probable that you have already heard speaking about the work of Spencer Tunick, an American photographer recognized by his photos of big masses of naked persons.

These persons agree to pose artistically in the big cities. They do it free and only receive in return a photo signed in gratitude to his collaboration. These images (some impactantes for some) explicítan the existing tensions between the public thing and the private thing, between the individual thing and the collective thing.

The Tunick project began in 1992, photographing naked persons in New York. Later it extended his work towards other states of the country and later it realized an international tour, in which he took pictures in cities like Bruges, London, Melbourne, Montreal, Caracas, Santiago, San Pablo and Vienna. In May, 2007 it assembled (nothing more not neither more nor less!) than to a public of approximately 20.000 persons. This happened in the Square of the Constitution, in Mexico City. An impressive intervention that you can see next.

NatGeo: color photographs green

Since one might suppose the section of photos of the page of National Geographic it is really spectacular. It is provided with a big variety of galleries that stop of mouth opened for anyone who observes them. It is the perfect combination between the art of the photo and the incredible marvels of the nature.

In this case I chose to present one of the galleries of this page. Under the name of “Life in color” assembles a series of images that represent a principal color: red, orange, blue, purple, yellow and green. The latter color is the one that I chose in this opportunity.

Since we already know the green it is one of the most common colors in the nature. We can find it in the sheets, in the grass, in the snakes and even in the color of certain lights. The green represents the vitality, the nature and the environmentalism. In the principal image we see one of the images of this selection. There are two green frogs in a sheet in the delta of the river Atchafalaya, in Louisiana, the United States. Know the rest of the images!

Gaëna Des Bois: photo, poetry and music

Today I present to them a feminine and slightly fantastic perspective of the photo. Straight from Quebec Gaëna Des Bois comes. In his blog they will be able to find almost every day a photo accompanied by a poem and some song perfectly elected (in this moment I listen to one of his invitations: Edin Karamazov).

The Gaena photos take like the nature as basic. The final score is of a fantastic, imaginary world (personally most of his images give me a sensation of certain mystery and darkness). The corporal thing also plays an important role in his photos: the feminine body in movement is a motive appellant.

To know in depth the work of Gaena Des Bois you can visit his blog or his web site. They will be able to verify that it is a space where there interact in a harmonious way the images, the words and the music.

The click in the just moment

It might discuss for hours what is what it distinguishes to the good photos of the others. Although to choose a good angle from which shooting is a fundamental question also it is to realize the apprehension in the just moment. Often this diminishes to being in the place adapted with a camera in hand (why most of the times that we need our camera do not we have it with us?). Other times it is a question of realizing the necessary preparation to create the perfect image.

In this opportunity I present to you a pair of photos that take as a common factor having been taken in the just moment. A second earlier or a second later it had not been the same.

Also, and as regards all this, we must know that a good photographer must be ready to get wet, to be daubed, to hang by the trees and to do everything what is necessary to receive the scene from the best perspective. Fortunately, there always exists someone who registers this type of things so that the others we could see them. That's why, do enter here and knowing to what a photographer has to surrender to achieve a good image.

Dolls portraits for Isabelle Ribeiro

We can find a big dolls variety in any toyshop and in the bedroom of all the girls. Also we can do it (and this time from a very different vision) in the work of Isabelle Ribeiro. The dolls are the protagonists of a valuable series of photos taken this artist. Therefore, let's advance and let's know from a point different from these classic toys.

Ribeiro wine is a Brazilian photographer who from the year 2001 lives in the United States (more specially in the state of Florida). Across a constant search of new skills of lighting and of composition it achieves really showy results and impactantes. The portrait of articulated dolls of resin is a big area inside his work like photographer.

The big expressiveness of these dolls (that without doubts is great more that so standardized barbies) is received to the maximum. If they want to verify it for themselves know a pair of images next. The blog of this artist is also a way of coming closer her. You can gain access to him clicking here.

Aleksandr Ródchenko: the photographic constructivism

Aleksandr Ródchenko is an outstanding figure that we could not allow presenting in HaciendoFoco. One of the artists was more polífacéticos of Russia during the 20s and of 30: he was a sculptor, painter, graphic designer and Russian photographer.

He was a pioneer in the field of the photo. It used the camera in any position, creating disconcerting sensations. Generally his photos were usually zenithal or flat planes nadir. This was provoking an impact in the spectator, causing him certain difficulties to recognize the photographed object, something that turned out to be facilitated by his camerawoman Leica, which one had a very manageable format.

Ródchenko liberated to the photo of many of his conventions, fact that turned it into one of the most important pioneers of the constructive photographic one. Since it is natural it spent for different stages, from the abstract photo to the record of sports activities, sceneries or choreographies. Next I present to you a small sample of the work of this artist.

AntoineB at first sight

Of course with an explicit intention of showing across the photo a fleeting, untidy and partial portion of the reality, AntoineB focuses to capture moments and visions, both integrated to a photo simultaneously real and modified.

With the digital edition as tool and with a talent easy to appreciate at the time of creating ambience and combining colors, AntoineB captures in his photo part of his cinematographic credit (he is a movies student in Lyons, France). His photos open way towards an entire immersion in them, with a light directed to show the opaqueness and the contrasts of the things, which they emphasize for on the content.

Handsomeness of lid of book (in fact, almost similar to illustrations in some cases), his work deserves to be visited. In AtFirstSight (At first sight) we can know closely his work.
