Alena Z. – nothing but memories

Saturday, April 30, 2011 0 comments

Life is nothing but a long line of experiences. And memories. But mind is a tricky “thing”, have an efficient preservation instinct, its bury or erase the unpleasant experiences,  its make his own independent and uncontrollable selection of what worth or not to keep. And well, this freedom of our brain may be not a bad thing, but still, it’s funny or annoying that our brain have this liberty and a kind of “clean-up utility” and take this kind of action without our knowledge.
On the other hand we have our own way to keep memories. :) In the era of digital cameras anybody can be a photographer, eventually an artist. And well, once again, this ain’t a bad thing at all! Sometimes you really don’t need sophisticated equipments, expensive gears to capture something unique. Actually in a particular moment, in a particular place you may be the only one who can do it. And I think this is wonderful. And I love the so-called snapshots. I believe a good snapshot worth one thousand times more than many of the too prepared, too arranged, mostly quite unnatural “professional” shots.
Alena Z. took a few beautiful pictures and she was kind enough to share some of them with us. Strong black and white imagines, conceptual works, subtle and sensual nudes, colorful portraits, lovely flowers, city slides or pages from her journals of travelings, her pictures are nice pieces of her memories and interesting mirrors of her vision, perspective and particular point of view. She takes pictures of the life and reminds us that simplicity and naturalness is the most beautiful thing. In life. :) And she keep a door wide open back to our universal memories.

Ekaterina Grigorieva – invisible shades hidden in the shadow

Friday, April 29, 2011 0 comments

Who can precisely tell where the dream ends and the nightmare begins? Living in a world divided in black and white, right and wrong, men and women, children and adults, saints and sinners, we mistaken easily reality for perception. We are blinded and we fail to see shades and shadows, we are unable to distinguish a smell from a perfume or notice the unseen. And while there is no line between good and evil only we try to draw one, our life remains stuck on one side or the other of the world. Perhaps half a glass will satisfy your thirst but still, you’ll never know how the other half taste like. And once again, nobody can save you from yourself.
I’m still wondering if what I think I know it’s really what I know or there’s only fragments of what I have been told?
Ekaterina Grigorieva draw or paint what she can’t take picture of. And vice versa. She bring to life an invisible world by giving name to each shadow, by defining every single shade. Sometimes to reveal the most inner secrets it’s possible by only suggesting there is a secret. And Ekaterina use the shadows to dislocate the lights and reveal another universe. Re-rendering the reality leads to another facet of the reality from another visual and emotional perception. And just like the shades and shadows, emotions fulfill Ekaterina’s universe and in the dark everything starts to sparkle, filling the black-colored dots, and the black leaves.
It’s always interesting when a girl – or a woman – taking pictures of another woman. While men are always in a hungry search for any possible traces and sings of eroticism, when a woman take pictures of another woman even the nudity sometimes get a candid charm of innocence. And once again, in Ekaterina’s photos the shadows and emotions plays the main roles. She often show us what must remain unseen by focusing on the darkness and the shadows and hiding the light, the precise contours under the mysterious veils of obscurity. There are hidden portraits of innocence.
The world of Ekaterina may be a dark and gloomy one, but still there is light and sparkling behind every shadow and there are million shades of colors.
Where’s the childhood ends and when we became adults? Well, probably when we start taking our self too seriously and we refuse to play anymore.

Roman Piasetskiy – sensual intimacy and tight affection

Thursday, April 28, 2011 0 comments

Looking at Roman Piasetskiy’s photos I noticed a candid affection, sensitive attachment, a particular intimacy. He’s model seems to be he’s universe, his camera rotate around her as the Moon rotate around the Earth and there’s a powerful attraction, a beautiful tension and Roman Piasetskiy managed to capture not only the beauty of his model, but the discrete shades of this relation as well. The naturalness and refinement of the model, the subtle use of the lights and shadows, the simplicity of his scenes, the quite as life perfume of his images gave a special charm to his works. Roman Piasetskiy make some interesting experiences, turn around pictures or capture the reality in the mirror and offering by that different perspectives for the beholder.
Roman Piasetskiy sherd with us some very intimate images and feelings, exposing not only pictures, but sentiments. In a world alienated where we all are strangers to each other and even to our self, this pictures remind us the beauty of the intimacy, simple, still and quiet life. Photography is the memory of our moments. It’s almost like looking into a private, family album or quite sneaking into somebody’s bad room. But well, nothing’s ever intimate anymore…
