Thought Echo © Kasia Derwinska

Photography is my way of communicating with the world. In my work, I talk about own experiences, thoughts, doubts, fears and hopes trying to reflect my own life's path.

In addition to my experiences, my creations are inspired by night dreams as since childhood I remember most of them and I believe that dreams are the most simbolic language of our subconscious, a guide to navigate in the modern world.

I am autodidactic and I don′t recognize myself as a photographer. I use photography as a tool, like a brush for painting or any instrument to play music.My work is an attempt to connect substantiality of the world that surrounds us with elusiveness of feelings and thoughts. For that reason I describe my creations as building a bridge between the visible and the invisible.

Born in Albi (France) in 1974, I make my first steps in the "Photography"

in 2005 when I arrived in Bordeaux.

My meeting with the group of Bordeaux photographers SPBordeaux was a

revelation and photography became for me an extraordinary means of

expression.

Eclectic in nature, I work all photographic style.

My love for the sea and waterscape photography in B & W, guide my work to

a photographic style format where the square and the long exposure became

too obvious.

I love working in this format, fitting length to give landscapes

photographed another reality, another view ... mine. Photography b & w is

my primary mode of expression and allows me to fully express my vision of

the author. Sometimes I also do color, but it remains quite rarely.

Beside this, I also work on other personal projects such as portrait or

report.

My photographic approach is something instinctive, as an impulse that

prompts me to press the trigger at a specific time to pick a place,

atmosphere, people ...

I love photographing in the moment, discover a place and I try to

appropriate it.

[OBLIVION]• A Different State of Mind005 - Gravity © Andrea Costantini

I’m always been curious about photography and when the Art school

introduced me to the darkroom I was literally fascinated.

Since I was a child there was a camera around me. My father was a big

Nikon fan and he had a huge lens collection. He spent hours taking

pictures of my brother and me in our childhood. So I grew up with

photography and a curiosity for the pictures. All forms of art inspire

me, but one of my greatest influences from early in my career is

Surrealism.

Another source of inspiration for me is the majesty of some

architectures: I’m fascinated by what the man has managed to build

around him over the centuries. I take pictures of faces and I modify

them by adding images, like in a montage. I love playing with lights and

shadows, tones and

textures.My imaginary worlds are a mix of architectures, objects and

animals.

I use the most advanced technologies to express myself, but papers and

pencils accompany the birth of my projects: sketches and notes turn into

thoughts and images. Is the power to escapes the constraints of social

and economic differences and the limits of space and time.

I sleep with my Moleskine and a pencil because most of my ideas come to

me at night. I wake up and I write down what I have imagined or

dreamed, to be sure to remember everything next morning.

Each artwork of the “Imaginaria” series tells a story through images molded, written and then mixed with imagination.To honor the great artist Michelangelo, who carved the David with the head slightly larger than the rest of the body, to symbolize the power of reason, all the characters of “Imaginaria” are made with the same disproportion.

Here, the mind embodies the force that drives the wonderful gear of the imagination that is released from the head. Anachronistic and ridiculous ideas erupt from the mind, free from the dictates of the reason, like a panacea, capable of transforming the dullness of routine in the color of imagination.To the viewer, the freedom to read every time a different story, by borrowing the artist’s imagination, the one of the depicted subject, or simply by triggering his own imagination.

She can be Mother or stepmother, uncontaminated or sick but mankind is always obliged to establish a relationship with Mother Nature. Too often, however, he forgets to be a guest or his roommate at most, and he become a parasite and a tyrant kamikaze.

The project "SYMBIOSIS" wants to give voice to an overwhelming need for mankind to reconcile himself with the Universe.

Protagonists of this series are moderns fauns: common people, stripped of their clothes, which through a docile and meek surrender to their origins, are back to being one with Mother Nature, which at the end we can command only by following her rules.

I was born 36 years ago. Another century, another reality.

However photography has been very close to me from early beggining.

I've been trying to develop my photo-sklills since I was teenager, but

I've quickly realized, that pure photography is not enough for me.

My imagination has been giving me another point of view, another

visions. I always wanted to see more, and to show more. With help came

thank God Photoshop. Using this great program, for me is like journey

through neverending possiblities, one and only limit is our imagination.

In my works I'm trying to touch every topic, every idea which comes to

my mind is different, so maybe that is why spectrum of my

photomanipulations is very wide.

Not only one or similar moods, topics, elements.

I would like to try eveything, it's one and only way to develop skills,

but also to train imagination. It's very powerfull thing - we have to

use it right

I'm still searching for my final style and way of showing emotions.

Hope someday I will find it.
