Je continue de rattraper mon retard, avec Geneviève, qui s’est prêté pour la première fois à l’exercice très difficile de /positive motion/
Retour sur une séance qui date du mois d’avril, avec Louise qu’on a pu voir dans /discloser/, et qui profite de son talent en expression théatrale et corporelle pour nous livrer sa version de Positive Motion.
Dans la continuité du projet /discloser/ voici Nora. Une séance ... au déroulé un peu particulier.
Suite de la série /discloser/ avec Louise. Une collaboration très sympathique et qui va surement durer puisqu'un Positive Motion est déjà en préparation :)
Dernière séance en date sur ce nouveau projet avec Camille, avec qui j'ai déjà travaillé sur Positive Motion. Cette fois-ci le projet se prête à plus d'introspection et de douceur.
J'inaugure aujourd'hui un nouveau projet baptisé /discloser/. Le nom vient de la contraction de "di-" pour diptyque de de "-closer" pour le coté rapproché des plans utilisés dans ce projet.

Work in progress, /humanimal/
I’m currently working a new project called /humanimal/. This is really a work in progress, even the name is not final, so everything can still change :)
First, I need to remind that continuity is very important in my work. I’m trying new things at every project, I do not have a very consistent work, I lack a lot of homogeneity in treatments but I love remind former projects in new ones. Basically this is due to the way I use photography: as a diary to express my life, and there is both heterogeneity and consistency in life. Things evolve and change everyday but past is still there and a basis for present.

First 35 films
I’ve just received the first pictures of my develop-it-yourself experiment!
Ok let’s face it: as every beginners, I’ve fuck up some stuff :x But for a first a first try that’s pretty ok. Negative development is the part I’ve really done during this first experiment, from putting the film in the tank with no light at all to dry the negative after it’s developed. Since it was the first stage I didn’t want to make the print by myself on the first try so I gave it to a lab.

Positive Motion, This is Aurore
Since my very first post on Ello, I promised I would talk about pictures. The thing is I’m not really fond of talking about the past, I’m more concerned with present and future ; that’s why I didn’t post about previous photo sessions. I’ve just published a new shoot about the series « Positive Motion », so I bet this is the right time.
Positive Motion is born something like 3 years ago now. The main aim was to express positive feelings and emotion, without getting into the traditional clichés of little girls running in a bright sunny field and butterflies :) Well, the first thing I learned was it was really easier to express negative feelings than positive emotions. It’s easier to have a strong black and white with contrast, to show muscles and pain, to have deep make up. So I went and look for a vector. Something to lye on that would help me this my way of expression.
Positive Motion fait partie des rares projets que j'aime toujours autant mener après plusieurs années. C'est une série qui se construit maintenant depuis trois ans, et qui trouve son origine dans la recherche de vecteur d'expression d'émotions positives. Au fil du temps la technique s'est affinée et je commence même à percevoir une série dans la série.
Get in touch?
