finding Oona (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Always been fascinated by bodypaint. I was a face painter before becoming a photographer. So, the two combined were a logical step in my creative process.
I started this ‘finding-Oona-series’ with a series with stripes as main concept, painting horizontal black and white stripes on my favorite model and making a similar striped background. I called it ‘finding Oona’ because it was so difficult to find her in the picture. I loved the result.
It was marvellous shoot; Oona is so talented. And first look at my little screen on my camera told me the pictures would be stunning.
And stunning they are, Oona, you were just marvelous. thank you so much!!!
AUTHOR
My photography is known for my contemporary, experimental and conceptual Fine Art portraits with children.
My photographic style is sometimes emotional, stylish and simple: I like to photograph dancers, ballerinas, gymnasts, contortionists ... , lately mainly elite athletes, emphasizing the elegance of the 'human body' starting with the pure body yourself. Beauty in artistic human lines, muscles, the play of light and shadow on this, where their movement or pose makes the image so pure.
My photographic style can also be called conceptual: building a whole set with old props and clothes.
But above all, my style can be called contemporary and experimental: what could be more beautiful than photographing my model, half girl, half clay statue, assuming a pose that only she can do. What could be better than using props to make my photos surreal.
