Alexy Titrarenko may be one of my favorite photographers I have run across this semester. I love how his creative use of long exposure gives his images such a mysterious quality. The way he desaturates his photographs enhances their tone of foreign mystique.
I thought you’d be interested in looking at this.
12:31 – The Visible Human Project by Croix Gagnon/Frank Schott
Joseph Paul Jernigan was executed on August 5th, 1993 at 12:31am, but his body lived on, as he had donated his body to science, in photographs of cross-sections for the Visible Human Project. These photos are a result of a combination of long exposure and night photography, using the pictures of Jernigan’s body to create a contorted, ghostly form floating through the city.
Recuenco is also a “photographer of the week” in my Intro to Photography class in the fall. Nonetheless, his work is stunning and quite engaging.
Born in Madrid, Eugenio Recuenco is now one of the most important Spanish photographers on the international scene. Endowed with a brilliant sensibility for chiaroscuro, he is considered as a true heir of the grand masters of Spanish classical painting like Goya, El Greco and above all Zurbarán. He produces highly evocative scenes, and his photos reveal a mysterious world from which you cannot escape once you stared.
Besides the successful fashion or commercial photographs he signed for well-known brand, Recuenco has had numerous exhibitions in the main galleries in Spain: Circuit 8 (art and fashion), Tras el espejo (Spanish fashion) in Centro de Arte “Reina Sofía”, BAC (Barcelona Arte Contemporáneo) in CCCB of Barcelona, in ABC gallery from ARCO show where he won the first prize of photography, not to mention an exhibition in La Santa (experimental place for contemporary art) in Barcelona. He received for his work Concepción, Parto, Juego y Educación (Circuit, 2003) the ABC Prize of photography, while he was awarded the Lions d’or and de bronze in Cannes festival 2005 for his prints for Playstation. Eugenio Recuenco has recently directed a TV commercial for Nina Ricci. He also conceived the 2007 LAVAZZA calendar, just like Erwin Olaf and David LaChapelle did before him.
