Location
This shot was taken in my office, at a time when the feeling of suffocation and deprivation during Covid confinement was at its peak.Time
Quite hard to remember it exactly ...I would most likely say I took this shot in the late morning.Lighting
Nothing special except the soft light of the sun filtering through te windows.Equipment
Just my smartphone Samsung S10 (Self portrait)Inspiration
"Freedom of expression" What does this term still mean at a time supposed to be civilized and most of the taboos supposed to be denounced? On the contrary! The restrictions are multiplying and strengthening: everything is subject to the ban. The ban on thinking, thinking, acting and expressing oneself freely is gradually settling in: can we still discuss everything without running the risk of being labeled right or left, as a dissenter or a sheep? The world of culture, where the artist freely expresses his discomfort , will he soon also be bullied in this world of deprivation? Can a humorist still denounce some subjects without risking being deprived of public? It is therefore difficult not to think of the novel by Georges Orwell: 1984 with this feeling of oppression and deprivation.Editing
Rather than through a "simple" photo, I wanted to illustrate (and reinforce) this feeling of oppression in a dark way with a foray into the world of Japanese manga.In my camera bag
Except for this shot (Samsung S10), I usually used my Nikon D5100 but since a few months I've the Nikon D7200. Always with the Sigma 18-50 f1.8Feedback
Try to express and transcribe your feelings, your cheerfulness or your anger as best you can, whether through photography, painting or even writing ... Some people will automatically be attracted to your work , as modest as it is ... Some will see it for example a source of appeasement or even inspiration ...
