PHOTOGRAPHY
A picture can look nice on a monitor screen, but it’s never really photography until it gets onto paper. A monitor does not render all the details and subtle nuances that a real paper print does. I try to envision it framed and hanging on a wall. Few things give me more pleasure than seeing a product that was only made of light transformed into a tangible work of art. No monitor will let you fully appreciate its beauty.
When I take a picture, I want to have control over the smallest detail and be present throughout the entire creative process — from the moment the shutter button is pressed to digitally processing the photograph to its printing and even framing.
POST-PRODUCTION
Post-production allows you to address the crucial technical limitations of digital photography, including imperfections of the matrix and the lens itself. Thanks to careful processing, I can also modify the picture to better reflect the mood or my perspective of the essence of the scene.
PRINTING
Printing is one of the most complex aspects in the process of creating an image. It can ruin even the most successful photograph. Despite many attempts, monitor calibrations, using original inks and high-quality paper, I have never been completely satisfied with the results obtained in photo labs. Too much colour saturation, too much contrast and the loss of detail in shadows are only a few examples. Therefore, wanting to have complete control over the quality of the developed photographs, I decided to take care of the printing personally. Due to using a professional photo printer and the highest quality papers of various GSMs, textures and shades, I am sure that the finished photograph will look exactly as I imagined it as I pressed my camera’s shutter button.
FRAMING
Skilful selection of frames has a major influence on the photograph’s final look. A frame thus is not only decoration or a way of hanging a picture on the wall, but also an element that successfully attracts attention, intrigue or adds a special dimension to the presented work. For example, a stylised old or rusty frame fits perfectly with photos of abandoned places, while a thick, cracked wooden one fits best with pictures of African tribes. I can also participate in this process if the client so desires.
Saludos. Excelentes fotografo. Felicidades.
Arek:
I just sent you a request for being able to have the your photo journal put up on our site. I ask for you permission to do so. IN EXCHANGE, we are going to be contracted to do a major environmental cleanup in South America and if you are working with us, we would come to contract you to do a similar photo journal for us in South America. As I indicated to you, you and and your work, site, etc. will be fully credited and acknowledged, of course. However, for next year, if you have such interest, we would look to work with you on another assignment for us, on a major major clean up going forward. The camera seems to love your attention, so I am sure that any work you are contracted to do, will in fact come out superbly. Thanks for you help, kind regards, STEPHAN VENCZEL, NEXXUS ENVIRONMENTAL.
