Falsehood

One of the most used methods in photograph is the construction of a set or a location to perform eye-catching shots. A widely used technique in advertising campaigns, and by many fashion photographers.

This girl does not live in this cabin, and certainly not would dress in this way to get some fresh air outdoors.

This picture has a set of suggestions totally unreal, but that is precisely why make it appealing. An escape from reality. An image with a good construction and good composition.

The timelapse is one of the most used photographic techniques in recent years. Heritage of the research by Eadweard Muybridge, allows us to observe different moments of a scene in a single shot, creating a protracted moment in time difficult to achieve with other media.

Each subject is the same subject moving, but every shift is a different time point in time and space, and we can go with her this tiring journey.

A good photographic performance, and at the same time records of the daily activity of this Chinese woman.

The photograph allows you to capture a moment of time in a single image. So we find that the fairies can fly, and it's hard not to believe this shooting seeing. A beautiful small illusion that this is only because we know that little girls dressed as fairy can not fly.

But is that really so?

The photo shows us the opposite, and personally I enjoy believing that they can do it, although I know that is a little falsehood.

The debate on the use of photoshop in photography is long, complex and detailed. The excessive use of the program distorts the very nature of photography, and in the best cases can create digital art, but not photography. However this is not the case.

This particular photo reminds me of Robert Demachy, who already at the beginning of the twentieth century experienced photographic manipulation to make more like photography to a single work, the same way of painting. In fact he argued, as opposed to high, that photography could become art only breaking away completely from the documentary representation of reality. The woman's body was one of the representations most used for this purpose, in various arts.

This is a shot that once again, a century later, the same method and the same purpose, but with the use of new media. Well-built photographic artwork.

A striking image, in which everyone can feel different sensations and emotions. It could undoubtedly be a real scene, and the puppet may have been transported by the tides from the shore; or it could be a constructed scene, not real. But it does not matter.

This photograph has in its poetry strength, making it a situation distant in time and space, and that we can not perceive as real, but more like a dream.

This is an image that inadvertently allows us to immerse ourselves in that puppet, and imagine because we got up there.

Despite the fact that this shark is a rotting carcass, it seems to continue to swim even after death, beyond the sea that saw it be born. It's almost possible to follow the trail of his movements that have brought it in front of the lens of the photographer.

It's a poetic image, which is not important to understand whether the sunrise or sunset, and indeed: the duality of the sky makes it even more interesting shooting.

A small representation of the circle of life, in some way, well composed and captured.

Thanks to the evolution of technology and editing programs the double exposure concept has evolved and allows us to experiment with new solutions.

In this case it comes to multiple exposure, that as the double exposure is not a simple technique to use, and on the contrary, requires capacity.

This is a great emotional portrait, which broadcasts a variety of sensations, without being pretentious or forced. A dramatic and theatrical portrait, and yet quite natural as a whole.

The choice of black and white strengthens the photo concept, eliminating the color distraction.

This is a surreal image, with immediate emotional associations. The main use of two perfectly opposing and complementary colors such as red and green; decontextualise the softness of a cream with the bristly cactus; a simple and functional composition, make this shot extremely communicative and direct trigger.

There is a kind of irony in the final image, and not so much of rawness. The image is dramatic, but the intention seems playful and humorous, despite the sharp contrasts and shades of meaning.

A beautiful image, complex in its simplicity.

A surreal image in which the distortion of the glass and the reflections of the water makes the main characters of some curious tale in which a fish prefers to remain in his glass case rather than run away from those who possess it, also a wild sea creature.

Immersed in a scene that shows no everyday or typical beach scene. It is a poetic and clever invention that fascinates and intrigues. Nothing real, if not the subjects and objects used, even their chosen precisely and philological.

An evocative shot, with a clear choice of colors, red and blue, which are opposed not in the shades of color, but in the heat and cold sensations.

What are the intentions of this marine creature against this shy and afraid little red fish?

Everyday life around us is full of curious contrasts. We often do not notice, lost in our everyday habits.

This documentary shot shows one of these aspects, with humor and a glance. No doubt this was supposed to be gorgeous when it was built, but the abandonment of decades made him the opposite of what brings the pretentious sign.

Although a photo documenting a glimpse of reality, is the subject of the picture itself to be an oxymoron in itself, a 'falsehood'.

An optical illusion is a trick of the mind, while signifying that our brain is healthy.

This ironic photographic illusion, perhaps caught in a daily act, or perhaps deliberately created (and even raise this question makes this photo interesting ), steals a smile and curious: why did this girl is stretching his bare underwear? And whose will those knickers in the foreground? Not the girl for sure, but perhaps the grandmother reported in the title.

These questions can only be answered the photographer, but it's better to have no answer: everyone can imagine the story behind this shot.
