Thesis 2010 Artist Statement – What’s it about?
Mar 6th
“The Fantastical Adventures of an Unknown Photographer”
(1983- )
Visual Autobiograhy by Giselle Behrens.
Artist Statement:
Today’s fashion photography industry is becoming less and less creative, due to diverse socio-economical influences. This project is about combining fashion with surreal composites, promoting creativity in the field. The images are inspired by personal lifetime memories, which define who I am and where I come from as a person and photographer, while confronting today’s artistic issues in fashion photography.
Its all about imagination and creating the unthinkable using creative retouching. I am very open to ideas and actually want to know what you think. Like it? Hate it? Want to see it? Comments, thoughts, critiques are welcome.
I will keep you updated with drafts and ideas while I create it, so it is an open to the public project!

What’s with this blog?!
Mar 6th
At last.. a blog for my very own BUAJAJA… nyaka nyaka! even better a blog about photography for myself!
Only one thing to say: WUUFREAKINHUUU
W5:
What: this blog, what we need to know to become a hot shot photographer, and other cool trivial stuff just for fun.
Why: because we want to be a better photographer, and most importantly we want people to know us!
Who: its all about us, we want to know more about photography in an easy way.
When: right here right now, 2010.
Where: from New York to the World.
So mainly this blog is based on interaction, so any photography questions and / or comments you have, you can just share them here WITH THE WORLD! Your voice is important, your eye even more important, soy there will be a section where everybody can comment and email me their photos and I will more than gladly publish them. I will create a personal copyright if they don’t have any, (copyright = very important, we will discuss this further on!)
Some of the subjects we will discuss are:
whats going on with photography ATM (at the moment) > new trends
which photographer is in the hot seat?
Photographer / Person of the day > destiny, cool photographers and people I encounter and admire
Top of the line tutorials (caution: HOT!)> straight out of the oven of the SVA Master Program in Digital Photography.
5W > important info in five seconds: What, Why, Who, Where and When, short and straight to the point.
Word of the Day: very fun words to think psychically about.
And other very cool trivial stuff.
