We see more and more in actual photography some strange and unconventional works.
Using photography, some artists are creating in a different ways sensual and emotional
art works.
Photography is a technique meant to print an image captured by a photographic camera.
From there artists express or show our visions, opinions or internal views. But, when
some of them try to do more by expressing a complex emotion we get a very interesting
result. Often it is more powerful than simply rendering a portion of reality.
With good technical controls and imagination some artists create fantastic works. By
changing delicately the reality they saw, they manage to arouse an emotion in the viewer
of the work. Usually a well marked emotion.
This emotion is rising out of the reaction of the viewer to changes and disruptions of
known standards. When the duality of emotions is combined in the same piece we get a
new avenue to artistic creation that is still to be explored in photography.
At this point in time emotion is more and more the starting point of creation.
Some times, we see beginner photographer doing art works strongly relaying on emotions
for later, when they are more experimented, leaving this tool behind them. Is this a
phenomenon explained by their naivety? Perhaps naivety is necessary to create with
emotions? It seems a distinct possibility since others artists evolve by finding their own
naivety.
We will see for sure many evolutions and transformations in photography. This art form
is relatively new in comparison to painting or music. We see already several evolutions in
all facets of photography. It is a wonderful art form that promises quite a lot.
