Changing the Home page

by Nicolas· May 01, 2020· in Backstage, Design· 0 comments
Home page is very important for a website. It is the visual first touch, the way your visitor feels good…or not ! What are the criterias for a home page to be the best ? reflecting who you are up to date design easy to understand sharable That’s why i changed my home page from a static image you had to click to enter my website to a slider that automatically displays several shots.

Ma prochaine expo va présenter 30 photographies. Photographies de rue, d’ici ou d’ailleurs. Une expo comme celle-ci c’est d’abord une idée, un fil conducteur, une exigence de partager un regard sur le monde, ses changements, ses repères. 1 an, c’est le temps qu’il m’a fallut pour concevoir et réaliser cet ensemble photographique. Au pavillon de l’Erable vous trouverez une scénographie originale et aussi l’occasion de participer à mon projet artistique Art Links People. Plus d’infos dans un prochain article ! Expo du 7 au 29 mars 2020 Vernissage le 6 mars 2020 à partir de 18h Pavillon de l’érable, 70 rue du vieux ru, 77 Avon A 10 minutes à pieds de la gare de Fontainebleau-Avon. Parking sur place.

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 […]

How to protect your photos : the copyright and so on…

by Nicolas· March 23, 2017· in Backstage· 0 comments tags: Copyright
There is always a dilemma on what to show on internet to be seen and what not to show to protect your images. My answer on this question is that you can put your images on the web only by following this recommendations : protect your originals by a legal deposit. You put your shots to a lawyer, it allows your to give a date for your original creations upload only low resolution files, for instance 92 dpi. To print with high quality it is necessary to reach 300 dpi at least upload medium size pictures, 1000 pixels maximum put a copyright on your shot, i use watermark in the middle of the picture so that a copy can’t be done without your copyright and well, whatever you put on the internet, it could be duplicated… …and that’s a good sign because it means that what you do is liked by people ! Just be sure the link between the photo and its author is easy to find.   Illustration : Par User:Anonymous101 and authors of the images at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Copyleft.svg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Scale_of_justice_2.svg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Red_copyright.svg [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
