Round #2

Photo of the week : Round #2

by Nicolas· January 19, 2018· in Photo of the week· 0 comments tags: Photo of the week, round
Creative process is wonderful. The people you meet, the things you see, the sparkling idea that comes !! My serie of photographies “Round” is a way for me to see the world with the same shape than our eyes : the circle. It was a new exercise for me because I had to imagine a rounded image from the real world through the squared frame of my APN. So the challenge was very interesting, so I created 10 photographies on this serie. To reach my level of sharpness and color fidelity I choosed the subligraphy technique to print theses photographies. It allows me to show these pictures without frame, you just have to buy it and hang it 😉 Enjoy !

Color, you say color ?

by Nicolas· December 13, 2017· in Backstage, WIP· 0 comments
As I say during my exhibitions an art photography is a piece of art made of materials. Even if there are millions of pictures on screens, it is a really different point of view to see an art photography in the real world. If you take the blue pill, as I do, then you have to treat it with respect and requirement. There is a serious game to make your blue the same Step 1 : from the real life to the camera Step 2 : from the camera to the computer, Step 3 : from the computer to the printer, Step 4 : from the printer to the medium (e. g paper) That is why you have to use special tools at each step : Step 1 : a color pattern. You take a picture with your color pattern and the following with the same settings Step 2 : a digital calibration to share the same color values between the camera and the computer (screen and files) Step 3 : a color space, available in photoshop for instance, so that the computer say to the printer “Hey, this is my blue, print the same please!” Step 4 : calibrating […]

Is Instagram usefull for an artist and how to integrate it in your website ?

by Nicolas· November 03, 2017· in Media· 0 comments tags: Instagram, Media
Several friends artists ask me if Instagram is useful for an artist and how to use it in your “websphere” ? Is Instagram useful ? My answer is YES, it is useful for many reasons : you can reach new people interested in your art you can see inspirational works of other artists you can link with people in other areas than yours, for instance food’s world, car’s world, music’s world and it allows you to see how public reacts to your art, there are instant answers when you post an image. Sometimes it is a hit, sometimes not. You always have to keep in mind that 80 million images are posted every day on Instagram, so it is a real job to emerge in this ocean!   How to integrate Instagram in you website? I am using wordpress as a CMS for my website. There are several plugins to include Instagram in your website. I have choosen “Enjoy Plugin for Instagram” because it is really simple to use, web responsive and it is free! It looks like a dynamic carousel so that many pictures are showed on your webpage. The steps are go to your WordPress admin interface plugins […]

Comment communiquer pendant une expo ?

by Nicolas· September 20, 2017· in Event, Exhibition, Media· 0 comments tags: communication, Exhibition (post tag), Exposition (post tag), La Gourmandise, Media
Communiquer pendant une exposition, c’est tout un art. Comme j’ai pu le constater pendant mes expos prĂ©cĂ©dentes la mĂ©diation est essentielle pour apporter un Ă©clairage du public sur sa dĂ©marche artistique. La mĂ©diation peut ĂȘtre faite par un mĂ©diateur / une mĂ©diatrice ou l’artiste lui-mĂȘme directement en interaction avec les visiteurs. Avec une exposition comme “Round and round” j’ai optĂ© pour une fiche de prĂ©sentation. Cette fiche de prĂ©sentation comporte les rubriques suivantes : L’artiste : mon histoire en lien avec la photographie La dĂ©marche artistique : qu’est-ce qui caractĂ©rise mes oeuvres, quel message je veux faire passer L’exposition : la description des oeuvres prĂ©sentĂ©es et en quoi l’exposition est singuliĂšre J’ai eu la chance de bĂ©nĂ©ficier d’une relecture par une amie journaliste qui a amĂ©liorĂ© ma version originale. Pour une autre exposition c’est une infographiste professionnelle qui a rĂ©alisĂ© mon affiche. Bref, ĂȘtre aidĂ© par un(e) spĂ©cialiste en communication est un plus certain !
