Self Portraiture Fantasies by Photographer Diana Debord

by
Reply

Diana was born in Novara, Italy in 1984. Many people have described her photography and self-portraiture as a mix of Alice in Wonderland and Amélie, for its decadent romanticism and dreamlike atmosphere.

“I want my colours to be a rebellion towards the greyness and alienation of modern life. My aim is to capture the magic in everyday life, giving reality a dreamlike touch.”

Diana works with both digital and analogue photography: in this case she experiments with Polaroid and Lomography cameras. Her main inspirations are nature, Edgar Allan Poe’s works and Pre-raphaelites paintings.

Diana’s works have been featured in several magazines and exhibited in many occasions. In October 2009 her first solo exhibition “Ophelia’s dream” in her hometown Novara. She contributes to Asap Fanzine with music reviews and photos, and she’s the co-founder of Avanguardia Onirica, an artistic project organizing events with music, poetry and photography.

A Parisian-born shutterbug who likes to flash her camera has turned daily routines in the Naked City into works of art.

Photographer Erica Simone, 25, has gone au naturel in a series of self-portraits taken around New York. In them, she rides the subway, checks out library books and shovels the snow on the sidewalk outside her apartment – all in the buff.

The 20 shots are part of Simone‘s new exhibit “Nue York: Self-Portraits of a Bare Urban Citizen,” which opens next month at the Dash Gallery in Tribeca.photographerl erica simone Adventures in Nude Self Portraits: Parisian born photographer Erica Simone pictures

The inspiration for the photos came to Simone during Fashion Week two years ago.

“I was sitting around thinking about fashion and what would we be if we were naked and what if we didn’t have fashion to show who we were, our status, how much money we had, all these things,” she told the Daily News.

“Then I got the photographic idea of shooting people naked in the street, but just doing regular things, not especially posing, or being naked, but doing whatever.”

Some say most left-handed are totally into arts and are very creative. Absolutely right! Instead of dribbling the ball to put my 189cm height into good use, I chose to nurture and hone my innate (at least that’s what i think) skills in design. My name is Jason Tan, an amateur photographer who never complains about my 10kg camera bag and bulky tripod while wandering around cities under the scorching heat of the sun. I am a perfectionist who is never satisfied with what he has and is always seeking advancement.

It all started with self-portrait photography. Flipping over pages in magazines, inspiration caught me in and poof! I started trying different poses in front of the little compact camera. I never left my creaking chair until I finish editing in photoshop. Positive feedbacks inspired me take a step further and fueled me to continue my unrelenting pursuit for more unique and interesting subjects.

From a Panasonic Lumix to D60, I upgraded to D300. In each change of camera, in each angle taken with different lens, valuable experiences were gained. And of course, it won’t stop here. Photo-walking has became my habit nowadays. My interest and curiosity brought my feet to different countries and places where I wandered around aimlessly, where I got lost in a maze of disorganized streets, and more importantly, where I explored every single detail of the life as lived by people of diverse cultures and values.

Adventures of the Traveling Video Camera

Just started working on a new project for 2009…and need your help…while I enjoy covering all the wonderful photography blogs I stumble across, I am interested in spicing things up a bit..My new project is titled…Adventures of the Traveling Video Camera….

How does this new video project work?

The concept of this project is simple…One camera…numerous photobloggers…I send the camera out to interested photographers, who in turn, videotape a short segment about themselves…totally unscripted, do/say what you want people to know about you. Camera is sent out (along with return postage paid) from me to you. Once I receive the camera back, I will post the video (hosting service undetermined at the time of this writing) on this photo blog.

Why not just have the interested parties send a video on their own?

Well, great question. My thought process was that having only one camera, the idea of this one camera traveling around the world would make for a more intriguing concept.

Have a better name for this project?

I’m not totally sold on the current name..but I had to call it something to get the ball rolling. However, before we get to far down the road, I would like to hear from you about name suggestions for this project. I intend on using the Flip video camera, if that helps with the naming.

Who’s interested in participating?

Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir – Amazing Icelandic Photographer

“All photographs are taken by myself (also the ones with me in them) and all post-processing is done by me.

I am self-taught. I decided to become a photographer in May of 2005. There is nothing i would rather do.

I primarily shoot digital, because it’s more accessible, but i work with film whenever i get the chance and i have a darkroom at my disposal.”

IEX: Rebekka, how did all this start?
RG: I really just fell into photography without planning to be a photographer. I worked for three years in a coffee shop and would do pencil drawings when things were slow. I sold a few, and hoped that I would eventually become a painter.  But then I discovered that I could make photos that looked like what I wanted to paint, and they didn’t take 4 months to produce! Plus, I was a hopeless painter.

You’re obviously a good photographer – your Flickr site has received well over 4 million hits.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s been too fast. Flickr is a bit of a monster. I owe a lot of my success to the site, but it has also forced me to become “professional” about my work very quickly. When I started posting pictures I was really just messing around, having fun taking shots of myself or whatever came to mind. As the popularity of the site grew and I learned more of my craft, it became more about creating art through photography.
