Honorable Mention
Oceans Adrift - Over The Top
DESCRIPTION
Every time I go out by the sea, whether it’s for a walk or for photo shoots, I am systematically saddened to see waste washed up on the beaches or in the rocks. I try to pick up as much trash as I can find, it’s not much and naive, but it’s always that. I thought that every one think the same but it's not, apparently...It is during my shots for one of my current project that I decided to integrate in my compositions these wastes that invade our daily life and our activities of seaside. With surreal staging and the touch of humour that are dear to me, I try to illustrate drifts of ocean pollution that affect animals, plants, environment but human beings too.
The photo "Over The Top" is a part of my "Oceans Adrift" project.
AUTHOR
I am a professional UX/UI designer based in Brittany (France). I create images as a self tought photographer under pseudonyme Niko Photographisme.I work mainly on surrealist compositions and I like to create my own world using home made props and photomanipulation. I really favor "tangible methods" during photoshootings (no cgi/3D). Then, I use editing software to achieve the better image as possible.
I consider photography as a playground for my imagination. Digital photography and retouching offer me a great freedom of creation.
I obsessed with appearances and I like to work on body modifications and improved human capacities. False pretense, appearance and reality manipulations are my main common thread.
