Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana)

INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY AND ARCHITECTURE
In 2015 I started experimenting with infrared photography. At that time I used to work as a photographer on golf courses, which turned out to be an ideal location, as they offer all the distinctive features of IR photography: high contrast skies, bright greenery and dark bodies of water.
Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana)
Soon after I started experimenting with infrared photography and architecture in my home town Milano, achieving amazing results in terms of detail rendition which. I’ve replicated the project in many different cities during my trips in Italy, Eastern Europe, Asia, North and South America, experimenting with different filters according to weather and light conditions.
In April 2019 I traveled to Kazakhstan with the definite purpose to experiment with the 850nm filter, which I had always left behind as a choice because of its harsh rendition of BnW tones.
Though this might be some kind of a limit on natural landscapes, it turned out to be the right choice to get good contrast in the sky when weather conditions were not ideal, or even overcast.
Detailed rendition on architecture is impressive, as the deeper you dive into the NIR spectrum, the less light is scattered by the atmosphere.

I like the idea of taking a picture of something that is not exactly what I see with my eyes; I like the fact that once you’ve taken the shot you only are at the beginning of a process and that each time it will be slightly different; I enjoy the experimental part of the work involved in each and every step of the workflow.
Inner region of Kazakhstan
With DIY modified digital cameras I explore beyond the limits of human vision, in that part of the light spectrum where color becomes a meaningless notion, and luminosity is way different from what we normally perceive.
I am fascinated by the idea that what I show in my pictures is technically invisible to the naked eye.

OUR CONCEPT
Written By Joelcy Kay – Curator
Every piece of art, crafts, or textiles, hanging on my walls or ceiling tells a tiny passage of my life. Most of it was acquired during my travels. Many of these treasures are damaged whether because they were broken on arrival, as the pieces were tightly stuffed into my backpack, or weathered by the unforgiving Florida tropical humidity. But in the end, they are my precious processions and they are part of the stories I tell. It feels good to have rugs hanging from the ceiling, masks on the walls, and drinking my morning coffee thinking of the mugs’ tale. The point here is that art has a lot to offer each one of us; ART IS VERY PERSONAL!
The NO MIDDLEMAN ART GALLERY offers that personal experience as the individual has the opportunity to buy the art from the creator and by doing so a new event to remember is born. When you hang the work of art on your wall there is a story behind it; an artist you now know and follow. And instead of the usual “I purchased this at “WWW(BIG BIG ART STORE).COM” the connection enriches the emotional value of your art piece.
WHY DISPLAY YOUR ART AT THE NO MIDDLEMAN ART GALLERY?
The gallery is designed to connect the art seekers and collectors with artists directly. We offer artists a COMMISSION FREE / CONTRACT FREE online platform to sell their creations and engage with their clients using portfolio pages that are engaging with large images and a dramatic black background.
NO MIDDLEMAN is a boutique ART GALLERY; individuals browsing our archives and portfolio pages are relaxed, not pressured to sign up, agree with website terms, or maneuvering out of pop-up windows.
For details regarding participating in the NO MIDDLEMAN ART GALLERY please contact Joelcy Kay the curator at jo@edgeofhumanity.com.
