Hues, intense hues

June 20th, 2013 | Posted by Nefelibata in Beauty | Paint - (0 Comments)

There is a word that slips from my mouth almost everytime I talk about colours (hues), it is: inteeenso*. It is a kind of joke, even if I mean a subtle baby pink hue, (baby pink is one of my favourite delicate hues, you can tell by Nefelibata advert to your right) I will still say inteeenso. I will also suggest a rojo intenso (intense rouge?) at the most unexpected place/ocassion/motive.

So, you know, I love playing with hues, you can tell when I play with my photographs’ hues and intensity…

Photos like this remind me of my childhood readings… ghosts, temples, chapels, weddings, romance, hidden romances, vintage stories. This photo was actually taken on a full moon night. Guess the place?

Expression of the imagination

May 23rd, 2013 | Posted by Nefelibata in India | Photography - (0 Comments)

Style ExpressionI was going through my India archives and I found this photo. This photo was taken behind the Taj Mahal itself. What I particularly like about this picture is how it shows three people of the same nationality (not me, of course) and yet with their own style and expression. This brings me to the words style and fashion. Many people when faced with the word fashion get all this discourse about superficiality and consumerism, I would rather use the word style. To me “Style is not a display of wealth but an expression of imagination” (1).

Shed some light on the subject – Nefelibata

I love how some light shed on a little leaf can turn something rather ordinary onto something extraordinary.  A little piece of nature to add romanticism to the day (or night).
