| The New Painting- Horizon6 |
Elina Brotherus is a Finnish photographer born in 1972 in Helsinki, Finland. She currently is living in Paris where she does portrait and place photography. I really loved Elina's series called "The New Painting." These photos are based on a quote Elina's friend said: "Photography is the new painting." They are meant to portray the beauty of a painting in a photograph. The photos are in vivid color and gives the actual place an artistic aesthetic. It makes the photo more effective in its portrayal of the place because the emphasis of the beauty of the area brings emphasis to the place itself. It makes you want to know where the scene is and brings emotional attachment from the viewer. Elina's intent can be summed up with this quote she stated:
"With the camera I try to approach the same problems that painters have been dealing with for centuries: light, color, composition, figures in space, projection of the three-dimensional into the two-dimensional. I find these questions fundamental in all visual arts."
