Taking photographs at a zoo is a technical and artistic challenge. While instructing a workshop at the zoo, I took two minutes for myself and photographed what I saw and felt about this cassowary at that moment – the great contradiction between what I saw, and whatever a cassowary is to me – a potent, powerful, aggressive, even dangerous animal.
The year 2020 imprisoned us at home for hours, days and months. It was a period of longing for outdoors, but also of opportunities for a different photography.
Much has changed during the past year, the Covid-19 year (this post was originally posted on April 2021). One of them was the decree that people cannot visit their personal hairdresser, the one person they trust to shape their image. The risk of exposure to Covid-19 is even higher for my mom, who is 97 years old. That qualified ME as her hairdresser.
My series of double exposure photographs won an Honorable Mention Award in the International Photography Award (IPA) 2018. I used this in camera technique to explore the collision of opposite worlds. Why not doing it in post-processing (Photoshop)? The first reason is a practical one, I wanted to play by the rules. The second reason is an induced arrogance.
