href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0060176\/plotsummary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blow Up<\/a> for the first time. This movie got my thinking about what is my photography and what it means to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas is a hot young trendy&#8221; photographer in London of the swinging 60ies. He is bored and fed up with the mod <a href=\"https:\/\/businesszenlife.com\/home\/about-fashion-photography\/\">fashion<\/a> shoots, he is arrogant, cruel and abusive to the models and lives a life of cynicism and ennui. He is also working on a book, a photographic collection of primarily darker images of human life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was always drawn to people photography but I never intended to become a fashion or glamour photographer. I wanted to explore the nature of mankind and the conditions of being human. To work with models for this seemed natural for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason I shot with models is that I need them to express my artistic aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t see them as muses, but as creative partners and it makes me proud when I get the feedback that they enjoyed working with me because I was friendly, polite and respectful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the shooting it is my job to create an atmosphere that allows the models to feel free and safe and to go beyond the usual poses in their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best images are created when we both push the boundaries of what we are capable of a little bit. When we tab into the unknown and experience something that makes us feel alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, you can tell by the look in their eyes whether we have created something truthful and genuine or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Model <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sophiegimenez.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madame Sophie<\/a> \ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the mesmerizing aura of &#8220;Blow Up,&#8221; I found myself pondering the true essence of my photography and what it means to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":332,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-conscious-photography"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesszenlife.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesszenlife.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesszenlife.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesszenlife.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesszenlife.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/businesszenlife.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":338,"href":"https:\/\/businesszenlife.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334\/revisions\/338"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesszenlife.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesszenlife.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesszenlife.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesszenlife.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
