title
sois belle (be beautiful)
Technical information -> Analog photography with Hasselblad
Info:
In fact I put the human as a piece of nature or an object in my picture. It’s a reaction on fashion photography where you see that the personality is not important and only an over manipulated body gives us a wrong perception of reality.
BODY = LOST IDENTITY
Generally I use a hasselblad analog camera, I like to work with it as the pictures it produces appear more realistic. Nowadays it is no longer obvious to see real images because they are all manipulated and photoshopped. Representing real people with their imperfections is far more interesting for me! I depict the human being rather as a piece of nature than as an object. It is a reaction against examples of fashion photography in which the personality of the individual is irrelevant. Therefore I aim to let the authenticity of the body speak for itself. A manipulated body gives us a wrong perception of reality anyway.
