Foiled Emotions Canon EOS 60D 50mm F/4 1/160s ISO100 Anton Belovodchenko A nton Belovodchenko (4 May 1980) born in Novosibirsk, Russia, started to shoot the series ‘Bodyscape’ with a view to show the beauty of the body and with it, the beauty of the world as a whole. He also wanted to experiment and practise in a setting where light is in low key with minimum number of light sources. When working in the studio, he uses a pulsed light source. From the tips "I use octagonal softbox great size for soft light or portrait the plate to produce a hard light." The forms taken by the models accentuate the beauty of their bodies. The form of the models adds to the graphic quality of the photographs and at the same time provide symmetry and a sort of bulky light to the picture. Any pose which doesn't look strained and the model appears as if she is soaring in a space of bright light. It should be noted that for a photo to be pleasant to the viewer, symmetry in the photograph is appreciated and Anton intends to attain just that. Black and white photography is not just a tool which is used by the photographer to achieve graphic quality in his work but it is rather like a miraculously preserved puzzle. As one deeply studies each frame, one involuntarily tends to think up colors and make up dreams. Bodyscapes Canon EOS 60D 50mm F/6.3 1/200s ISO160
