CURE THOSE ISOLATION BLUES

[FUJI]

Many of you, like me, are currently stuck in, or very close to home for the next three months or so..... keeping one’s photographic mojo going might be a very real challenge for some....but have no fear.....the answers.....HERE!

ZIP over to YouTube.... seek out the photographic works of....Man-Ray...... most quirky and very eccentric..... but most done with a sense of ......tongue - cheek humour  and wit.

You don’t have to copy, but to be influenced by his creations, whether inside or out, human, animal, plant or inanimate item.

He uses textures, shadows, crayons, paper cut-outs, lighting, masks, wicked combinations of opposites....I love his, tin-tack smoothing iron..

Have a think, have a dig in those drawers and cupboards for junk, magazines and tools.... persuade your nearest and dearest to pose for you, but not in a...Family-Photograph manner....

I love his female head resting on table, with mask.

or....

Explore any other photographer who you admire, use their work for inspiration.....or.... simply go photographically NUT’S .....yourself..... no one’s watching

I am really looking forward to a thread on here, sharing lots of original, creative works..... the possibilities are endless.

aww, c'mon man, no nudity.  i use a work computer!  love the tones on this.  looks like she's a real peach too.

unfortunately i have one of those pesky essential jobs so i'm stuck working through this mess while the rest of the world has an extended netflix and chill vacation.  i want to sit at home and be bored to death like everyone else.
