About this album
Statement of intent:
Shattered dream
To break free from our settled patterns of nude photography perception, images of still and in motion nude bodies in the portfolio interact with surrounding objects creating surreal atmosphere.
Naked and innocent woman, like a new born baby, plunging into the dazzling world with its myriad temptations is watched by ferocious eyes of a cat in the dark night, forecasting the looming disappointment. Although cleaned of her sins, she can’t resist temptation. Tossed like a toy between money, religion and desire, she faces bitter taste of disillusionment. The arrangement of the prints creating a story of increasing tension leads the spectator’s mind to enter the world of illusion.
The prints are rendered in low-key monochrome, evoking mood of ambiguity and melancholy.
The Chinese characters visible in prints are translated according to the hanging plan: 03 ‘timely wind and rain’ means good fortune, good luck; 12 ‘store for rent’.
Author's comments -
How do I worked towards my Distinction?
Beginning with human body photography, from 2012 my interests broadened to include arranging human silhouettes with contrasting surroundings.
One day on RPS website I read about Fine Art Photography, I discovered that this category was close to my endeavours and decided to do my best and try to attain FRPS distinction.
Each image is like one story, one particular emotion. When put together they create the interplay, dance of feelings such like love, anger, desire, longing. The complete composition tells much more than prints taken separately.
