I keep talking about different tricks (reflections, long focus, wide angle, unusual angle). But aren't there tricks to use spots, substitutions, signs, reflexes, compositional techniques? It turns out, all the tricks!
The main thing is the message with which it happens.
Are we consciously waiting for a person somewhere, or is the moment itself coming into our hands – an accident of the universe or a specialty?
Only the universe can give us a trick, and we have to react to it.
The true street and the whole photo are unconscious.
It would seem that mindfulness is good in life, but in art we are only mediums and must disconnect from everything.
It is necessary to become a guide, not a creator, because we are not the creators of the world.
Therefore, I decided to use all sorts of tricks and substitutions-superimposing one object on another.
If I was walking and saw beautiful striped shadows or the moon peeking through the branches of trees, then it wasn't my idea.
And if I was walking and thinking how I could photograph the moon, through what else it could be captured, so that it would be more interesting.... then it was invented by the mind.
Everything has a right to exist, but the first option would be more honest.
You can tell the audience anything, but the most important thing is to be honest with yourself.
And if you are satisfied with the fact that you came up with the composition yourself, and did not take what you saw by accident, then everything is fine.
Some of the pictures presented are invented, and some are made by chance.
And I take a little more seriously what was done by accident.
And what I invented myself is interesting, but not valuable, because anyone can do it.
But not everyone is equally a conduit between the universe and reality...
