New Striptiz portrait – Uroš Abram
Uroš Abram is a student of Famu academy and he’s exhibiting his work in Simulaker gallery in Novo mesto. He’s exhibiting pictures that were taken by camera obscura. His camera obscura is actually his mouth. He out a piece of photographic paper in his mouth, holding a lens cap with a hole between his lips and then exposing the paper about a minute or so, then he’s reproducing paper on film and then exposing prints. Prints are not ordinary, but are handmade with liquid light emulsion on canvas and old fashionably developed in darkroom. It looks really cool.
About the picture.
It’s a straight shot. No digital manipulation. Inspired by Joe McNally’s cover picture of a book The Moment it Clicks. We went to a glass cutter (or how do you call them) company Steklarstvo Andreja Solkan s.p. (they are great) and in their junkyard I took few broken mirrors. Uroš put a mirror in his mouth and he was holding a large mirror in front of his face, while I was observing how reflection of his face reflects in a second mirror. I was not expecting much, but suddenly I saw a point of view that was working, so we went to Mladina editorial office were we took the final picture. No special lightning techniques. Just a SB900 with a softbox above right and some light from SB800 bouncing from a wall on the left side. Nevertheless I had some problems with a composition. You can imagine that it’s hard to get everything correctly mirrored, but the hardest was how to include the eye in the frame, so composition would work. I took more then fifty images, trying with different apertures (depth of field), different angles of the face, viewpoints, etc… It just didn’t felt right. I knew I’m missing something, but I didn’t know what. Then I rotated the camera and suddenly everything was on it’s place. A true magic 🙂

Updated site www.borutpeterlin.com
Ciao tutti,
During December’s holidays I updated my site WWW.BORUTPETERLIN.COM and I’m inviting you for a visit. I added new Striptiz portraits, new Flower – Power pics, new tearsheets, new corporate work, new photojournalism category Photo of the week (with captions). I’m still preparing videos to be uploaded.
Also A Photo Folio (company of A Photo Editor – Rob Haggart) made slick new design changes. I really like large thumbnails in four rows and the navigation bar and that you can send an image from site to your email and everything else.
I would like to read your feedback. And please rate the post (stars on the bottom of the post) as you would rate my site.
Thank you,
