Nude: Honorable Mention 2016 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The image is a the first of a self-portraits nude series, Whilst photographing my portrait, I still did not know that I would want to develop it as a series, nor did I know how far my presence and this portrait would open the door to an area that over time became so significant to my artistic creation. I believe that my ability to connect personally both as a photographer and subject and as such to fully participate in all aspects of the project, connects me most personally to the very heart of the project. In my opinion, personal involvement in artistic creation of any kind allows artists to connect profoundly with their subjects and as such increase their expressive ability, achieve the goals they have set for themselves and reduce the gap between artistic ambition and practical creation to a minimum.
AUTHOR
My name is Nofar Horovitz. I am a Fine art photographer based in Israel ( born 1986 )
i specialize in Nude art and still life photography , and working both in analog medium format and digital techniques .
Photography for me is a remarkable tool that allows me to sculpt my vision into an image. I appreciate the necessity of light in the picture, and also the lack thereof.
In my observation of the world, I examine and focus on details that make up the greater picture, and at the same time, I skip various components, sometimes in a less controlled manner so as to leave gaps, which viewers can fill in according to their perspectives, thoughts, conclusions and observations of all components simultaneously.
In my view, I search for order, sharp lines and cleanliness, which for me empower the meaning of the final product .
