For the Desretratos series, photographer Lucas Simões invited close friends to pose for him. It would seem that inviting friends as models for a photoset is not surprising. Simoens's idea, however, turned out to be deeper. He decided to capture the emotions of his friends at the moment when they share with him something intimate. Taking as a basis such a familiar genre as a portrait, Simoens managed to create truly unexpected works.
Simoes asked everyone to choose a music track that the photographer would play in their headphones at the time of shooting (that is, the model's secret will remain a secret), as well as name the color that will become the main one in the future photographic portrait. After filming, Lukasz chose ten photographic portraits, which, due to significant metamorphoses and manipulations (cuts and compilations), became curious collages.
According to the author's idea, each such collage is able to tell the secret of the depicted character, despite the fact that it is almost impossible to understand who is depicted in the portrait. “Of course, the main thing for me was not to find out the secrets of my friends, but to catch the emotions, expressions of their faces at the moment when they were sharing something especially intimate,” the artist explains. Collages of portraits, however, are not Simoens' only amusement. The artist also loves to create collages from cards and various magazines.
Lukas Simoens was born in 1980 in Brazil. Studied architecture and design in his native Brazil and later in Italy. At the moment, the artist lives and works in Sao Paulo. Other collages from the same series can be viewed here.
Like Lukasz Simoens, Justine Camara practices a real intervention in the photographic environment. Justine's photographic objects become quite tangible photographic sculptures and collages of a very bizarre look. Surprisingly, it seems that by doing so she manages to expand the field of possibilities of photography.
