heARTistic expressions
I believe I became a photographer because I couldn't become what I truly wanted to be...a painter. Modern computer software tools allow me to treat my photos as a canvas and I get to play with color and textures very much like a painter.
Several years ago, I shared with my business partner, Ed, that I would like to do some art to life pictures. One of the artists that first came to my mind was the brilliant Frida Kahlo. I've always adored her work and found it so visceral, passionate and infused with so much feeling. I wanted to do "my" version of these photos and on a Saturday morning a few weeks ago, I did just that. They aren't identical - they aren't supposed to be. These photos are the start of a series that I hope to one day share in a gallery setting. Hope you enjoy them as much as I had creating them.
Plurabella is now offering HEARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS... We want our clients to be able to recreate pieces of art or scenes from a movie that they have always loved and cherished. (Although there is similarity in looks with my versions of Frida - looking similar is not necessary to bring into being your favorite iconic art.) Upcoming HEARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS sessions include Twiggy/Edie Sedgwick and Shirley Temple. We just finished up the couch and necklace scene from the Titanic. Our client may not let us post them, although they are absolutely gorgeous! Email us for information!
