As we walked through all the nooks and crannies of the University of the Arts, my friend Ale and I happened upon this space. One of those tunnels with some source of overhead lighting because of skylights embedded above the vaulted ceiling.
Needless to say, I loved it right away. Ale went out to find a model, so we could take pictures of her. It was very suitable for horror, drama, and lugubrious work. I went for dramatic since we were in a school where they study theater professionally. But I didn't want a dramatic in the sense of total madness, but more content.
That thought that we have in our mind oppresses us sometimes, but we do not want to externalize by many reasons. Something like that, like contained, pressed. Very deeply inward.
The wardrobe and attitude of the model matched what I wanted. She was perfect with her hair loose and wild, a long dress with no frills, and her bare feet. Her face was almost expressionless, but with an apparent lack of joy. She was looking for the light in the darkness.
I thought the photos were also great for black and white, and I'll leave that version here as well. In black and white it feels rawer, more complex. Less "pretty", as those emotional states usually are.
I hope you like them!
Mientras camin谩bamos por todos los rincones de la Universidad de las Artes, mi amigo Ale y yo fuimos a dar a este espacio. Uno de esos t煤neles con alguna fuente de iluminaci贸n superior a causa de tragaluces incrustados sobre el techo abovedado.
A m铆 ni que decir hay que me encant贸 enseguida. Ale sali贸 a buscar una modelo para poder hacerle fotos. El lugar se prestaba mucho para hacer trabajos enfocados al terror, al drama, a lo l煤gubre. Yo me decant茅 por lo dram谩tico, ya que est谩bamos en una escuela donde se estudia teatro de forma profesional. Pero no quer铆a un dram谩tico en plan locura total, sino m谩s contenido.
Ese pensamiento que tenemos en nuestra mente que nos oprime a veces pero no queremos exteriorizar por muchas razones. Algo as铆, como contenido, presionado. Muy hacia el interior.
El vestuario y la actitud de la modelo se correspondi贸 con lo que yo quer铆a. Con su pelo suelto y alocado, un vestido largo sin florituras y sus pies descalzos, eran perfectos. Su rostro casi sin expresiones claras, pero con una evidente falta de alegr铆a. Buscando la luz en la oscuridad.
Las fotos me parecieron tambi茅n muy buenas para llevarlas al Blanco y negro y te dejo ac谩 tambi茅n esa versi贸n. En blanco y negro se siente m谩s crudo, m谩s complejo, menos "bonito", como suelen ser esos estados emocionales.
Espero que te gusten!
