Branco no Preto / White on Black

O meu amigo Brasileiro (Catarinense) Leonardo Régnier, autor do blog Branco no Preto postou esta semana o meu trabalho fotográfico no Flickr.

My Brazilian friend (Catarinense) Leonardo Régnier, author of Black on White blog posted this week my photographic work in Flickr.

The call is made



A Arte de Filipe Franco / The Filipe Franco's Fine Art

Conheço o Filipe já faz alguns anos, é um fotógrafo radicado no arquipélago dos Açores, em Portugal. Seu trabalho fotográfico é vasto e maravilhoso, e confesso que não foi fácil escolher apenas algumas fotografias do seu acervo para colocar aqui no blog. São milhares de fotos excelentes, tanto coloridas como preto e branco. Acabei escolhendo alguns dos seus trabalhos mais recentes. Mas quem quiser conhecer mais, é só clicar aqui, e entrar na sua página do Flickr.
Mas o Filipe não é apenas fotógrafo, é também um dos melhores (senão o melhor) crítico de fotografia que eu já conheci. Faz análises precisas, basta ele olhar alguns segundos para uma imagem e já é capaz de entendê-la, de fazer uma descrição profunda sobre o sujeito, sobre o enquadramento, sobre os elementos, etc...
Para mim é um prazer poder apresentá-lo aqui no blog, espero que gostem.

I know Filipe a few years, is a photographer based in the Azores Islands, Portugal. His photographic work is vast and wonderful, and I confess that it was not easy to choose just a few photographs from his collection to put here on the blog. There are thousands of excellent pictures, both in color and black and white. I just choose some of their most recent work, but who wants to know more, just click here, and enter in his Flickr page.
But Filipe is not only photographer, he’s also one of the best (if not the best) critical of photography I have ever met. He makes precise analysis, and needs just a simply look for a picture, a few seconds, to be able to understand it, to make a thorough description on the subject, on the framework, the elements, etc ...
For me it is a pleasure to present him here on the blog, I hope you enjoy.

The White wall - contemporary painting

the white wall - painting
the white wall - painting



(...) Orienting our attention to the formal relations between the aesthetic phenomena resulting of environmental and physical conditions, the project ‘he White Wall’ should be interpreted as a creative and experimental process, that profounds ‘lines of thinking’, founded on the problematics initially developed and functioning as a starting point for future projects.
This project pretends to explore the concept of the capacity of a wall transfiguring itself, the problematics of shadow/ light as a unit of time-measure, and a construction / desconstruction of the message as an aesthetic content.(...) + project >

a Lota Restaurant - O Chef em sua casa

 As pessoas – o que são e como o são –, vão-se gradualmente alterando, quase sempre em virtude do contacto com novas pessoas e com experiências diferentes;

O Tecido social insular tem-se vindo a ajustar a uma realidade muito mais global e globalizante e os seus paradigmas têm reflectido essa, quase sempre, empolgante caminhada;

A excitação do acontecimento social, a delícia da descoberta de interesses – tanto comuns como distintos –, a ruptura com rotina quotidiana, a vontade de nos sentimos bem, faz-nos querer estar com outras pessoas e sentir prazer nessa relação;

A mescla de diferentes pontos de vista, o exotismo de outras paragens, o profissionalismo de quem sabe e o conforto da nossa casa, é a combinação perfeita para momentos memoráveis.

Hello


I was born in Ponta Delgada (1961), Azores, I studied at the center of art and visual communication “Ar.Co” in Lisbon. I participated in several collective exhibitions, had several individual exhibitions and developed projects with public intervention. I’am represented in private and public collections.

Initially like a tool for my artistic work, now I assume the photography like my principal hobby. In this way, the presented images reflect varied aesthetic preoccupations that can be divided in two vectors: Images of illustrative character : registers for my artistic work (register of works and notes); artistic photography (like autonomous discipline).

I mainly use flickr and ipernity as a backup to my work and my photoblog:observer, and my homepage filipe franco contemporary art  ; I participate also in the onexposure   project . Occasionally post photographs here that might not appear on my blogs. >  I live and work on the Island of São Miguel, Azores - Portugal.
