The Art of Dancing

The art of dancing represents the motion of contemporary dance while using motion blur. The picture itself is one of the best representations of how motion blur and composite shots combined together can give us descriptive stories. Considering how excited I was for this particular shoot because after 2 years of staying away from the artistic photography concept I finally got a chance to do this shoot with two dancers. Chiara when I discussed the idea with her asked me if her friend Fleur could join us during the shoot. Even though like always I was sceptical about deciding if I should have two models in a single shoot I took the chance. Honestly, looking at it now I think it couldn’t have been better than this.

Trail of a Car

Back when I was visiting Munich, I decided to take a long walk at night alongside Harris and his brother Rauf. After walking through multiple streets, we came to the front of Central Munich Residency and outside was this empty road from where after every few seconds of the interval a fast-driving car would pass. This gave me an idea to capture the lightning trail of a car.

Maman by Louise Bourgeois

Maman by Louise Bourgeois is a masterpiece of art which was placed right in front of Guggenheim Museam, Bilbao until recently. Maman recently found a new home in Greece and is currently placed at Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC).

Maman is the French word for Mother. Bourgeois stated that the work was symbolic of her mother, a weaver and tapestry restorer. With twenty eggs in its abdomen, the sculpture embodies ideas of maternal protection. However, the artist’s relationship with motherhood was ambiguous, contradictory, and complex. Dominating its surroundings and teetering on rangy, segmented legs, Maman also evokes fear and suggests entrapment.

In this picture, Maman is surrounded by fog which was released every night improving the region’s ambience. I took a long exposure shot to give it a much more artistic effect and to help disappear any surrounding people that may make the picture less artsy.
