About The Artwork

I am taking each day - grabbing it - bending it over - and making it mine! My work is born from the emotions I go through daily. I like to compare it to a poet's writings where pen and paper is used to convey emotions of pain, love, fear, hate, lust. I use my camera to write emotions with light. Concept work makes me tick. There is nothing I love more than taking an emotion, a feeling, a situation, and forming it into a visual statement. I am inspired by life, whether it is the hard bitter sad times that form us and makes us stronger, or the spiritual journeys that make s grow and blossom. Mostly I portray my work in black and white because of its strong emotional emphasis. I feel that if unnecessary colour is added, it distracts from the core meaning. When I do add colour it is usually reds because of its dual nature – it is warm and inviting at times but can just as easily be alarming and urgent. I love human form, and always use that as subject when creating a poetic piece. I keep the images as real as possible – very little photo editing is applied, but when it is, it is only done to enhance the message of the photograph. I am always busy creating new pieces that vary from just one image or a series, depending on the message and concept behind it. Where better to draw inspiration from that living life…

Dorette Labutte was born in Witbank, Mpumalanga in 1980. After matriculating in 1999, she went on to study a degree in Multimedia at the University of Pretoria. In 2000 she decided bugger this and ran away, with her then partner, to the Western Cape to forge a “new” life. She received her first analog camera in 1999 and started taking “happy snaps”. In 2006 she did a short course in analog photography through The Stellenbosch Institute of Photographic Studies (SIPS) and in 2007 she “succumbed” to peer pressure and bought her very first DSLR. This is when her “Poetic Photography” was born. Conceptual work makes her tick. She loves taking an emotion, a feeling, a situation, and forming it into a visual statement. She is inspired by life, whether it is the hard times that form us and makes us stronger, or the spiritual journeys that make us grow wiser. She loves human form, and uses herself as a subject when creating a poetic piece. She keeps the images as real as possible with very little photo editing applied, but when it is, it is only done to enhance the message of the photograph. Her camera has always been her therapist giving her the ability to capture her emotions and view them from an objective point of view in order to better understand the situation she finds herself in. If she can touch but one person in this lifetime with her message and promote healing then she has achieved her goal.
