Honorable Mention / 2017 / Fine Art / Abstract

Sois belle

Generally I use a hasselblad analog camera, I like to work with it as the pictures it
produces appear more realistic. Nowadays it is no longer obvious to see real images
because they are all manipulated and photoshopped. Representing real people with their
imperfections is far more interesting for me! I depict the human being rather as a piece
of nature than as an object. It is a reaction against examples of fashion photography in
which the personality of the individual is irrelevant. Therefore I aim to let the
authenticity of the body speak for itself. A manipulated body gives us a wrong perception
of reality anyway.
