Orthonature Nu 16 - Limited Edition 1 of 1 Photograph

‘Orthnature’ is a conceptual stylistic vision of portrait photographs creation via authentic images using natural materials like the following ones: roots, minerals, plants and etc. I’m sure it has been inherited from my father. He’s been trying to show me the external beauties of a man via portraits since my youth. Having worked for more than 35 years as an art photographer at film studio named after Dovzhenko and got really keen experience, he created excellent portrait photographs able to amaze by their inner depth. So, I’ve been trying to master his technique for several years, but army service and studying in the institute separated my gaining through time. But being an adult, since I was 34 years old, my wish to take photos flashed with renewed vigour. Due to the numerous trips – to the USA, Egypt, Asian countries and Europe step by step vision was focused on simple nature elements, where portrait similarity of the images and human faces resemblance were reflected obviously. My professional vision has been improving and refining for several decades. Friends’, professionals’ and close people’s support inspired me. So, I’m really proud of the fact I’ve invented something brand new, arranged an exhibition gained an amazing public response, at my own expense. I didn’t even expect so many fascinating feedbacks both from the professionals and other people. Now I’m full of energy and intended to continue my creative career. Best regards…Zaharii Kornevydlo.
