The piano

Uploading some new work at last! I don't want to scour old work for more outtakes and now I want to show what I've been up to in the last few weeks, some of which is clone fun, some of which is very different indeed...

My direction is most definitely changing: more use of texture, cleverer use of light, perhaps increased subtlety, less gaudiness (for example, I know some of you liked this one but I positively hate it now...!) and sometimes inspired by other Flickr artists (see the group I started, Envy of Flickr as proof of my emphasis on enjoying other people's work...)
I hope to show some of my new style in the near future, but for now I will concentrate on my Brighton exhibition and showcasing there the popular work I have already done.

Hope you like this image. View on black

macisback says:

Excellent work, again. It looks to me like the clone in the front of the picture is trying to visualize herself playing a song, and I can imagine the clones in the background carrying on a conversation concerning politics or current events.

strasnonesto says:

love the angle and clarity, but foot and other think two are redudant they add a little to the atmosphere but distract from the main story. i'd crop it behind her hip

fabbio says:

love composition and idea
but I'm still not 100% convinced if you got
the proper DOF in the two yous in the background!
good stuff anyway
Posted 32 months ago. ( permalink )

Miss Aniela says:

@ fabbio - yes. Though i did want to let them come into focus a little bit else there would be nothing to see of them.. however, i might look again at it in photoshop!

thanks for the comments & invite!

Great Pic!

Have you seen the Envy of Flickr group? This pic would be great for the Envy of Flickr group. The group is for images that have really made people want to go out and take more photos immediately. In this case it's by this photo of yours.

Great work - I love your new muted / saturated style, and the microcloning is great as well, although I swear, the right-hand one looks a bit like Haggis Chick...

Michael Godek says:

i think its amazing how our tastes can change...i also think it is a blessing that they do change, when we get new ideas and persue new types of expression through photography we, over time, perfect many different aspects of the art, and are constantly learning...this is what makes life so great, when things change and things grow life begins to mean something :)
glad to hear what your doin with your work, hope you have fun

ps. i do like this photo espically the angle of the piano...and the colors

fotomassimo says:

Hi Miss Aniela... now you are famous in Italy!!!!!!!
The most popoular newspaper La Repubblica (as Rosso says) put you and your beautiful photos in front page with these nice words:
"La britannica Miss Aniela è cliccatissima su Flickr, non solo per la sua bellezza ma perché eccelle negli autoscatti artistici, in genere ritoccati con photoshop. E' inoltre specializzata negli scatti in cui "clona" se stessa, in cui cioè appare diverse volte. [............................................ ...............] ha imparato da sola la fotografia, realizza quasi solo autoscatti e assicura di non passare più di venti minuti a ritoccare le sua foto. A proposito del web ha dichiarato: "Condividere le mie foto su internet è quello che mi fa andare avanti e i commenti degli utenti sono utilissimi, ma spero di poter un giorno esporre in una mostra reale"

Angelozzo says:

Great colors and nice use of diagonal lines. Intense facial expression and pose. Good use of light.
Nice shot, as always.
Posted 32 months ago. ( permalink )

mrjon912 [deleted] says:

This is another excellent work, my friend.

The perspective of the Aniela up front and the Anielas in the background is a first for me. Most people put all 3 up front. Kudos for originality once again...but then that's what got you noticed in the first place so I shouldn't be surprised.

I love how you're seeking to grow as an artist. That's always a good thing.

I think you're photogenic, and don't have a bad side on you.

Keep taking risks and growing, Aniela, and soon we'll see your work at the Met in NY.

Miss Aniela says:

thanks so much @ longlegs pics, massfell, Rosso and the others for telling me about the Italian press online feature!

Thanks @ Mrjon912 for your comment. I was thinking about the composition too - and that the clones are arranged atypically - but then, after doing over 100 clone images, new ideas are a must! :-) thanks again

Thanks to all - so many faves on this one already.

Paolo C. says:

Well done Miss Aniela! This shot is beautiful, I like the angle, the composition and the ligth.
About your new direction, I appreciate it, sure... the important thing for you is keeping to be spontaneous. I think your photostream is so interesting because of the great variety of situations and styles you are able to hand.
Take inspiration, but be yourself... keep to take risks.
I like your "gaudiness"! :-)

As usual, sorry for my poor english... my 2 cents

Changing is good. I myself do it constantly, not only on photo styles but in my life also.
Here I like the mix of colors, all those brown, beige and white tones along with the beautiful radiant red of your dress. Besides, your expression and poses are always the final/interesting touch!
