For the last month I have been working on a collaborative series with British fine-art photographer Miss Aniela (aka Natalie Dybisz). We met in a weekend trip to Paris last June, took lots of pictures and uploaded four of the resulting images onto Flickr -check the work we’ve done if you haven’t already! After the two days we had to work on several ideas and this last month of online post-processing, I’m surprised of how many things we have in common, in spite of the seemingly big differences between our individual work.
I’ve been searching for other networks to share my work, other than Flickr or Redbubble, of which I’m fed up right now. I recognize these sites, and more particularly Flickr, have offered me great opportunities and widened up the spectrum of viewers, but their censorship policies, general content and users’ preferences upset me.
I just joined “Behance Network, creative portfolios, projects and collaborations”. Behance is the “Official Community Partner” of the 13th annual Webby Awards, the leading international award honoring excellence in interactive design, creativity, usability and functionality on the Internet. Indeed, looks very professional and much more open to diversity. I’ve been browsing there for a couple of hours and I’ve already found more than just a few very interesting painters, illustrators, photographers and designers! More importantly, artists are free to upload their projects without an invisible hand censoring the slightest appearance of a nipple.
I do hope, however, that one day my website will work independently from other image-sharing sites. Which is why I decided to start posting stuff here more often, even if I don’t have very special news to share…like an exhibition or a publication or whatever…
