2013, Digital Image

Carlo Bellavia was born in 1971 in Palermo, Italy. He studied in both Europe and in the United States. His work is consists mainly of nudity and natural ideas and looks. His art usually has mystery-esque tone. Most, if not all of his photos are filtered in black and white or sepia (brown tone).In this piece, the sepia color/tone added in by Bellavia enhances the audiences' perspective on the detail and sharpness of the clouds, along with the contrast of what would be the different shades of grey.

ABOUT

This blog was inspired by the 1 Image 1 Minute written column in X-TRA and subsequent live iterations of the project by Micol Hebron. The inspiration for the 1 Image 1 Minute column was a similar project produced by Belgian director Agnès Varda (and later written about by Rosalind Krauss) for French television in 1983.

For this blog (and their assignment), students in Niku Kashef's photography classes are asked to select a photograph (that they did not make) that inspires or intrigues them in some way and to speak about it for exactly 1 minute (roughly 150 written words). Students post their name, the artists' name, title of the photograph, year the photograph was made and the medium along with their ~150 words.

In the second part of the assignment, students are asked to either use the image they chose to speak to OR a new image and make an inspiration image based on the photographic/2d design aspects of that image (eg direction/type of light, perspective, depth of field, focus, color palate, etc).
