Hand-made and custom made top hats, masks, crowns, butterfly wings painting backdrops macro techniques to capture particulars, influenced by the old noir films from the 1930s and 40s. A lot of time and deliberation go into every photo of fine art by the talented Italian artist Giulia Valente.
We asked Giulia what the key to producing her high-quality photography was. This is her tale.
"I graduated from Padua University, with a degree in Art, Music and Theater in the year 2006. I've always been fascinated by art: one of the things that I enjoy when I live in Italy is the fact that art can be found everywhere, so it's simple to get inspired.
My style could be called fine art photography. I can see a connection between painting and photography. In some ways, photography is painting's younger sister. Photographs, not just paintings, are my main source of inspiration when planning to shoot-retouch-and-retouch a new project."
"Giovanni Gastel, the recently passed away Italian photographer, once told me that you have to trash 10000 good ideas before finding the best one. I try, in my own way to implement this method. Actually, I keep an entire journal of thoughts sketch notes, notes and ideas that will likely to be kept on paper for the rest of my life.
The first step to take when making a decision on a project is planning: pre-production is crucial to take decisions, define and focus on the main idea. Then, draw sketches, gather objects or props... This can be an extremely stressful and time-consuming stage because photography of this type requires a lot of attention or even an obsession in the finer details, little things that aren't easy to take notice of, but which could make all the difference."
What was the secret in making the caterpillar photos?
"In the particular situation in this Caterpillar Project, I tried to identify the elements that identify the character, that make him identifiable: the blue color and the hookah he smokes, the wings when he changes into a butterfly, but also the attitude - a bit conceited and vain. Then I tried to put all these elements togetherand re-create the style and style of the image I was thinking of.
On May 3, 2021 the exhibition featuring my chosen artworks was opened at Laboratorio Cardin(Padua, Italy). I'm very happy and grateful for this being my first time exhibiting."
