This week we propose a new challenge with a theme that will not leave you indifferent, surrealism Do you want to know how Dalo felt when it was created?Sign up for this challenge!
Every week I will propose a new challenge, it is a topic that you will have to capture in photo and upload it to the Facebook page of the blog by putting in the description the keyword that I will indicate for each topic. Topics range from portraits to macrophotography, landscapes, black and white photography, or babies. The themes will be offered on Saturday, so you have the whole weekend to work. You’ll have one week to upload your photo (one photo per participant), until Friday of the following week. Friday or Saturday I will update the article with the photo that most captivated me and propose a new theme, and so on?
- Surrealism is the artistic tendency that creates unrealities.
- Surreal are those images that we only see in our dreams.
- Or when the subconscious plays that “bad” past on us and fills our heads with images that seem magical or impossible to “deal with.
- ” It is when reason has no place in the image.
- Other than moral or aesthetic standards.
- My colleague Alexa dedicated an article to tell you about ten different ways to get a surreal photo.
- Before continuing.
- I recommend that you read it.
- To better understand what kind of photography we are asking for this week.
- And if you are wondering why we are requesting this challenge.
- I will tell you that a photographer has a lot to tell.
- Not only to convey through what Sometimes reality fails to express all the creativity that you carry inside.
- Everything you have to say.
- And before all these ideas and stories cause some kind of irreparable “explosion”.
- We want you to let them out.
Have you already read the article? Well then surely your mind is already working on the images it wants to create, be it through forced perspective, double exposure, or any of the other eight ways Alexa tells you. This time I do not encourage you to run towards your camera, but to let your imagination run wild first and once your mind has “dreamed” what then? Take your camera and shoot!
In this challenge you must express your creativity and originality so that your image stands out from others, but I have no doubt that you will know how to do it, I do not see the time to dive between your dreams, your fantasies and the craziest imagined photographs!
As usual, to take part in this week’s challenge, upload your photo to the photographer’s blog Facebook wall: In the photo description, please mention the keyword? Surrealism Challenge? Followed by a title of your choice.
For those who are not from Facebook, I have enabled the participation of new social networks.
Good picture
We realize that this week’s challenge was not the easiest, and in all likelihood this week could not have pulled the archive as easily as the other weeks. Today we want to thank you in particular for your participation and for giving us the joy of putting the blog’s advice into practice. Your learning is our motivation and seeing you practice gives us a dose of energy to continue with the same or more enthusiasm.
I was very pleasantly surprised by your contributions, with this gallery of highlights you will see why:
Of all the remarkable ones, I prefer that of Bea Villegas. An image that fell in love with me from the first moment for its magic. What a dreamy image! Sounds like something out of a story, like it’s a fairy. There are snake charmers, or Hamelin’s flutist, and from this photograph I have the impression that there has always been “the fairy of birds”. In a dark scene that distills melancholy and sadness, its protagonist brings a touch of sweetness and hope. The pink skirt that contrasts with the almost no color of the rest makes you look the other way and then refocus on the flock of birds. And that same skirt provokes the feeling of levitation, as if this fairy had just made her flight on the ground or was about to fly with her birds. The composition is beautiful, the editing is excellent and, best of all, it doesn’t look like an overly edited photo or an edit made only with the stroke of an editor. It’s as natural as it is unreal, congratulations, Bea, for telling us this wonderful story with an ink-like image!
