Blush

I found this site interesting…here you can see that the final photograph was manipulated…have no idea if it was the intention, but…check the photos out, then the video (the photo shooting) and then make a brief comparison! in one of them, i can see that the shadow reflected on the wall is a bit different from the models body. yeah, yeah, some distortions will always occur, but to me is more like that the model had a fast liposuction operation performed by photoshop! maybe i am wrong?!

Etymology

“According to the Oxford English Dictionary [Oxford University Press, 1st edition 1884-1928; 2nd edition 1989], the first recorded uses of photography, photograph, and photographic are by Herschel, in a paper that he read to the Royal Society on March 14, 1839. Photography seems to be an adaptation of German Photographie, itself already in use. The etymology of photography (or Photographie) is clear enough: from the Greek roots, phos, phot- ‘light’ and graphos ‘writing’. Literally, photography means ‘light recording’. The element -graph- occurs frequently in other technical terms and terms for technical processes which involve some notion of describing, recording, or reproduction, in words or images: hence geography, biography, cinematography (Greek kinema, kinemat- ‘movement’), and so on.”

Just some visual interpretation concerning (again) the first chapter of Alice´s Wonderland. (see the post below – down the rabbit-hole).

mixed realities – exhibition

This Thursday, 26th April, it will take place at ZMF (www.zurmoebelfabrik.de) the exhibition “mixed realities”. The work to be presented is connected to my research project about photo manipulation in order to create a new reality.For this exhibition i created images mixing two distinct realities, images from Brazil and Berlin are mixed in one single image. Some of them the result is a confusion for the viewer as it can be quite believable, some are just intriguing entertaining showing particularities of Brazilian culture inserted in a German environment.

This project is sponsored by CityStay Hostel and had the photographic collaboration of Carla Galo, Moises Moura, among others. For those in Berlin, your presence and further comments will be more than welcome!
