The meaning of photography word comes from Greece and his meaning is the writing or design of light. There are several kinds of photographs, such as: landscape photographs, artistic, naturals, insects, animals, sport, extreme sport, or at the moment (the commonly taken by people). A style that I like and admire very much is the avant-garde photography.
These photographers break the reality pattern and paradigms about what means to take photography. Photographer Abelardo Morell Cuban established in the United States is a very good example of the previously noted. Abelardo Morell's photographs remind us that photography is more about how we see than the tools we use to create it. As we become blinded by the computer technology, more and more artists are returning to the past, working with processes and instruments more than one hundred years old. Morell is one of those artists who burst onto the scene with a series of images made with a camera obscura, a lens less camera most often associated with Renaissance artists.
How he takes these wonderful photographs?
Morell takes an ordinary room (living or hotel room) and transforms it into a camera by placing black plastic over all of the windows, leaving a 3/8 hole through which the light passes. Then, he sets up his view camera in the room, points it at the opposite wall, opens the lens and lets the image appear on the film over the next eight hours. The result is a magical world which fuses outdoor elements with domestic scenes, allowing the viewer to see the existing reality outside the window. Morell has transformed many rooms into cameras, the results of these pictures you can see them on my publication. These are extraordinary images alter our perception of reality and our placement in it.
woow nice pictures,that remind me the movie inception, where reality was as altered
