The results of my first professional photo shoots I didn't like. I wanted some unusual photos, that would be my photographs reminiscent of the paintings of great artists. I dived into the process of learning. Learning the paintings of artists, I found rules, following which you can create a photo very similar to the picture. My technical mind and my education helped me a lot. The paintings of the Renaissance, and the late part of the Baroque and Rococo had big impact on me. I especially like the French artists of the XVIII century Francois Boucher, Fragonard Jean-Honoree and Watteau Antoine.
The desire for embellishment, luxury, and elegance I transfer to photo. To show something more beautiful than it really is. It is not just a style, it's a whole way of life and thinking in which was concentrated the peculiarities of national psychology.
But to create a picture stylistically similar to the paintings is impossible without the using of additional light sources. Strobizm create similar light and shade inherent in the paintings, post-processing introduces changes in color shades, helping to accentuate, to emphasize the main elements and to remove the attention from the secondary parts.
And third, perhaps the biggest challenge is posing. Creating pictures is a process like the making of the movie. And if the Director is head on the set of the film who manages actors, during the photoset the photographer controls the models.
The light, posing and postprocessing are the three most important tasks that a photographer must solve. And if these three tasks a photographer has solved well, he will be able to get a photo that has some artistic value.
Now, I am not only photographer, but i also share my experiences with other photographers and visit different cities and countries with my author master class.
