Private / Secret / Making OfFeedingI was fortunate to witness the unofficial or non-representing moments of the model or the photoshoot, more casual, intimate & natural ones. Some of those were the moments of feeding. These moments are indeed very private, intimate & unique for each individual. Each of us has its own tiny secret rituals of feeding. So does Sara. She really, really likes to eat, probably as most of us. Sometimes she eats too much, probably also as most of us. But with the age and being in many different philosophical-spiritual schools, while exploring & watching my body functions, I realized that we definitely don't need so much food which is constantly being available in the rich countries around the world. There is such an abundance in the world that we surely are producing much more food than we actually need. There is such a waste of energy in producing all this food but it is good to have reserves in case of bad years or some kind of catastrophes. And than there is another waste of energy & time while preparing the food, eating it & digesting it. In some of the schools where I've been studying, I learnt that only 1 high quality meal per day can be sufficient for me to do many different activities all the day long. Another school claims that one should eat only the quantity of food that can fit one's both open palms connected together. I have tried both methods & also fasting for 24 or 36 or 48 or a bit more hours and it had such a profound effect upon my body & mind, cleansing me & making my thoughts more peaceful & my thinking brighter & clearer. Even in Bible was written something like: moderation in eating and drinking - and this is referring to all physical activities including sex or sports or anything what we do with our body.
EyescreamI continue to have so much inspiration with Sara & we are both enjoying this studio work. Here are some few shots which I have selected as a well-representing showcase of what we are exactly doing. In the next few weeks or months there will be many more to show.
Furry CurlyHere is another portrait entry for the PhotoFeed contest & another portrait of my model Sara. We are actually, really materializing our ideas. We mounted the huge black canvas in Sara's flat wall, borrow a bar stool from a nearby bar, set up professional Godox photo lights & started shooting. In the next few days we'll do more of studio shots & also some outdoor photos using the natural Sun light. We also did some more naked photos & we'll do more of those too. Hopefully soon we'll start also with creating the model portfolio for Sara & also I will use some of these shots for my own photography portfolio.
Deserted IslandFew days ago my new muse Sara & me, we went again to the island Ilovik to pick oranges, grapefruit & lemons. This time we even stayed overnight at a friends house. In between other activities, we went again for a swim in the beach Paržena but time better prepared & very determined to do some great photography.
MusesIn my life, girls have always been a great inspiration for me in my artworks. I was lucky in the last 1 year to have more models available than ever before in my carrier as a photographer. So, I decided in this post to present few portraits that I caught in this period with 3 different models. I also realized how to be better in what I do and I very strictly deleted so many photo from these 3 photoshoots and the most from shooting with Pasha. Photos of Pasha I have already published here on my blog but now I'm not so satisfied with those anymore. Also I realized, especially in black and white technique that almost every well made shot can really stand for itself with a straight forward statement & make deep a impact on the viewer. I decided to start with my newest muse called Sara, but give some space to Nicole & Josipa here cause all deserve a special place in this photo blog presentation of my work...
Love Good, GodseedIn the last few weeks I've been often and intensively spending my time with my friend Sara. I was also carrying my camera with the new lens I bought almost all the time with me & she allowed me to shoot her sometimes & she enjoyed a lot to be my model. We also have a plan to make more specific shooting sessions & to create a photo book for her modelling work. I am very happy to have this plan with such a lovely woman who is ready to help me in the process in various ways. She has also studied graphic design & she knows about visual arts. Anyway, I am looking forward for doing that all with her. It is a great idea that keeps me heading towards the realization of a great project!
