Be creative during the recession times

We all know how strong and unpredictable the recession we're in can be. While sales might slow down from time to time, I'm convinced that this coming summer there will be a new refreshing time of prosperity and possibilities. That's one of the reasons why, for example, I believe in uploading as many colorful and varied summer/beach/bikini shots as possible. During hard economic times all forms of art have always experienced tremendous growths in terms of experiments, forms and branches as well as financial rewards (as a direct consequence).
There could not be a better social/economic “frame” than the one we’re currently living to let our artistic sensitivity, visions and post-production skills work through us. If we’re photographers we don’t only have to portray a crisis, a business situation or an emotion: we should rather consider materializing the inner dream made of infinite journeys of imaginary places, stories, senses, times, colors and more.
Let’s all take advantage of this financial roller coaster to not only witness reality through reality itself (which is also VERY important) but to also exercise that natural gift of ours called detachment…the detachment from this reality.
You might say, at this point, that a bikini shot is far from what I just mentioned, but it certainly can be an elementary example of evoking a good feeling, a good day, a warm wind, a beautiful sky.
I notice many photographers are already showcasing great talent and abundance of creativity by producing incredibly stunning works of art where a face disintegrates into wind; or where a businessman sits on a floating office armchair during a storm.
If we all come together on Dreamstime, then it is Time to Dream.

on July 22, 2009 Great Work! This photo I purchased could be used on our website.
If she's got any experience I would like info on the model you used for a photo. Could possibly use her in an upcoming rap music doc or a pilot for a busic based TV show.
Here is the pic with the model.

on April 26, 2009 I agree with Noonie "uhhh, WOW" and then some! You certainly have some stunning models! I think the intent of your blog is to remind us that despite the harsh economic times things will get better and until then, we should all keep working on finding the creative and positive of each situation. Cheers :) |

Curaphotography confidential info
>CURAphotography is an established fashion photographer based in Los Angeles. He's been involved in the arts since an early age and has used their several forms and medias to express himself - music, theatre and painting among many others. After having graduated from the prestigious Institute of Arts P.Toschi in Parma (Italy) he slides into photography: it will become his primary vehicle of visual expression, which varies from all levels of fashion to abstract to architecture. Francesco strongly embraces both the production and post-production segments of image creation. His wide range of interests has brought him to capture the most varied of subjects, concepts and environments - which are visible in the collections on this site. CURAphotography works at his studio in Hollywood, but also thrives shooting on location.
Having been a sort of chameleon from age one, he has also the ability to vacuum someone's emotion and inner life to then print it on paper. Many of these captured moments are visible in his internationally published pieces ---
Francesco's hunger for experimentation has pushed him into crossing styles and boundaries. There's always room to love color, contrast, monochromes, black and whites, film and digital. The choice of a particular visual syntax is never casual but always causal. This way, every project is treated with particular care, sensibility and depth. The same care goes into the relationship he has with assistants, models, make up artists and stylists.
