This video showed me how talented Lyndsay Adler is and how much work and time goes into her shoots. To create the best shots she uses a story so that everythung fits together nicely and works as one; this stops the portraits becoming too chaotic. Adler goes to far lengths to make sure every image is perfect yet still unique in its own way, this is the type of ambition i am going to try to emulate when working on my own project. |
1. Prepping the models down the smallest details, paying cateful attention to everything.
|
2. Using colour theory, matching the lighting and colour gels so they harmonise nicely with one another and the models complection.
|
3. After-shoot editing, this includes things like enhancing the colours or making sure the background is even.

Maurizio Anzeri makes his portraits by sewing directly into found vintage photographs. His embroidered patterns garnish the figures like elaborate costumes, but also suggest a psychological aura, as if revealing the person’s thoughts or feelings. The antique appearance of the photographs is often at odds with the sharp lines and silky shimmer of the threads. The combined media gives the effect of a dimension where history and future converge. The image used in Round Midnight is an early 20th century ‘glamour shot’ that at the time would have been considered titillating for both the girl’s nudity and ethnicity.

When we all look at a photograph, we somehow believe that we look at the trust or at some kind of reality but we know that it's not, it's just a moment. We all still look at it as if it's real.
Artist, art instructor and art coach Lisa Kokin lives and works in El Sobrante, California, outside of San Francisco. She received her BFA and MFA from the California College of the Arts in Oakland, CA and uses recycled and reclaimed materials to create mixed media textile art. Textiles are in artist Lisa Kokin's blood. Her parents were upholsterers, and she uses the techniques of sewing and book arts to create detailed, thoughtful work that often transforms found objects and words. For the exhibition "Do Not Destroy", she created the piece "Fauxliage: No Birds Sing" which transformed Rachel Carson's landmark environmental book "Silent Spring" into delicate and quite convincing leaf forms, a reference to the anti-pesticide message therein.

I like money in its shredded state because it is stripped of value and power.
Adam Pizurny is one of the ideal artists for the modern age. First, he employs the most modern tools to explore timeless themes of humanity; the perfect combination of the new and the classical. Second, he suits the modern connoisseur’s penchant for preferring the virtual over the real insofar as one doesn’t need to go to the art gallery to experience his work. As Pizurny puts it in our interview below, his attitude is that “the whole web is your gallery.” |
