Artist's Comments

ooohhhhh a photograph, not a manip, just a straight photograph.
Have not uploaded one of these in awhile. ;)
photographed with a Pentax 67 with Fuji Neopan 1600 film
lit with neon light bounced off the wall.
Scanned the neg and removed dust and did a custom quadtone.
If you do not know what a quadtone is , it is a technique
from the old days before there was color photographs, and the printing presses would do half tone printing what is still in use now, like you would see in your newspaper, but for magazines this looked bad so they would add a color and it would become a "duotone", if you added another color it would become a "tritone", anyways you get the idea. what it would do basically is make the tones of the images much more rich making the contrast have more range. I have always loved going to the printers and playing with this as it really has no limits to what can be done. They really don't do this to much any more in the magazines, now they just print everything in color even the black and white images, it is to bad as it is much richer and more beautiful.
The model is my muse Jonna and the title is in Irish, it means brittle, breakable, fragile

well this time I did not do the Make-up or hair so I can can't take credit for that.

I'm talking more in the public eye sence. the places people see pictures on a regular basis, mags and such. sure the art world comunity is more experamental, but even with that artist now a days seem to want to shock instead of impress. just my views, i could be talking out my ass right now.

anyways, your image here impresses.

no, you are right , mainstream plays it safe to sell as many mags as it can to keep it's advertisers and readers happy.
most people don't care about good work only stuff they have seen before and is easy to understand.
the same goes for all media.

damn our people's lack of imagination. society needs a change, and the art comunity needs to push it.

oh god it feels good seeing your photography again. true kelt style.

you always seem to capture jonna in such a raw, vulnerable, uninhibited, natural, secretive and delicate eye.

that's your magic...

light.

and vision.

and moment.


[hope germany is being awfully good and kind to you]
:iconbabybluespikes:
stunning... simply stunning... her pose and her expression drew me right in, a beautifully shot photograph for sure

i loved hearing about the technique used, i already knew about quadtones, but you explained it in such a lovely way... its sad that its not use more :(
