В последните дни доста се писа за портретната фотография във форума. Всъщност малко се писа, а повече се показваха (с малки изключения) скучни портрети. Предлагам ви в тази тема да споменем, размислим, попишем, дадем примери за интересни, методи, начини, трикове за снимане на портрети. И като начало ще предложа на вниманието ви един по-малко известен, но интересен и модерен метод, наречен DEADPAN. Няма да го обяснявам с мои думи, ето какво пише за него един критик:
"...Neutral expressions and cool, head-on compositions have become one of the signature styles of today's art photography. Some have called it deadpan photography: The tone is impassive, matter-of-fact, detached. Often the people are posed...
..."The problem for someone like me - I personally collect mostly portrait work - is there are just a lot of artists today who are all starting to look alike," (gallerist Bernard) Toale says. "One of the problems I'm having is distinguishing one artist's eye from another. I don't know what it means." Then he adds, "It means they all went to a good college and they bought good equipment."
So why are so many photographers adopting this style? Does deadpan photography's detached, distant, analytical approach somehow distill our cultural mood? Does its uniformity reflect the uniformity of our mass-produced, chain-store world? Does it represent the way people feel disconnected from one another, even as technology makes them more interconnected than ever? And could deadpan photography be a refuge from emotion at a time when many of us are overwhelmed with worries about terrorism, war, ecological disaster? Is it about slowing down?
It doesn't hurt that it sells. As Toale says, "It's become popular because it's become popular.""
