We had to pick an object that can fit into a 5cm box. I have chosen a ring. Ring that symbolises emotions, feeling, power and so many more things, Through the research I discovered that the ring can be a symbol of power, gratitude, accomplishment, being part of a bigger organisation, or love. Not only fimls, books and magazines tell us that, but also history and art history. But how do I show a ring without showing a ring? I started with photographing the object. just clean aesthetic commercial photographs of a simple ring. But that wanst it. I...
Joyce Tenneson (born in Weston, Massachusetts on May 29, 1945) is an American fine art photographer known for her distinctive style of photography, which often involves nude or semi-nude women. I find Joyce work fascinating, the way she shows beauty of humans and the light we have within. Her portrait work shows how she looks at humans, and how much respect and admiration she holds for women. This is a beautiful example that art can still show and capture the beauty of human body and soul. You can see more of her works in one of many books...
source: Andy Warhol, Nowy Jork, 1980, Robin Platzer / IMAGES/Getty Images Most of the things manufactured by Andy Warhol revolved around the concept of American culture. He painted money, food, important personalities and everyday objects, everything that according to him represented the cultural values of the United States. For example, Coca-Cola was identified with democratic equality: "The richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can watch TV and see Coca-Cola and you know the president drinks Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Cola and think you can drink Coke. " ...
Searching for the simplest form of expression led me to Japanese shadow theatre. Shadow Play is an ancient form of story telling and entertainment that uses flat articulated cut-out characters that are held between a light source and a translucent screen or grid. Cut out doll shapes sometimes have a translucent color or other details. Different effects can be achieved by moving both the doll and the light source. However, for the project, I decided to make simple dolls cut out of paper. However, my dolls will be made of pages from books. It will be a combination of symbolism (feelings and emotions)...
This was a first photo shoot for the pop-art series. It was a very exciting event for all participants. I had to prepare the props, costumes and over-all styling. I arranged a makeup artist, and that was a lot of fun to everyone. Everything had to be shiny, it had to be colorful. And it's supposed look like plastic. Many thanks to a professional make-up artist - Ewa Brzozowski, for my models - Karolina Skorek and Kieran A M Brooker ...
Cindy Sherman (American, b. 1954) is widely recognized as one of the most important and influential artists in contemporary art. Throughout her career, she has presented a sustained, eloquent, and provocative exploration of the construction of contemporary identity and the nature of representation, drawn from the unlimited supply of images from movies, TV, magazines, the Internet, and art history. Working as her own model for more than 30 years, Sherman has captured herself in a range of guises and personas which are at turns amusing and disturbing, distasteful and affecting. To create her photographs, she assumes multiple roles of photographer,...
Contre-jour is a photographic technique in which the camera is pointing directly toward a source of light and an equivalent technique of painting. It was also used in paintings prior to its use in photography, where the shadows would fall to the left on the left, to the right on the right and forward in the lower centre.

The increasingly popular technique of lighting (photography), consisting of placing a delicately illuminated element (person, object) on a perfectly black background. The low-key technique is designed to show the drama and the appropriate, mysterious mood in the picture. The photograph shows only a selected, illuminated part of a given object emerging from the darkness (black background).When taking photos in the low-key technique, usually one light source is used placed sideways or behind the photographed object. This is to emphasize the contours of the object by placing the other areas in the shadow. The most important in this way of shooting...
