KATARZYNA KONIECZKA


Costume design Katarzyna Konieczka (collar)
Photography, acrylics, ink, photomanipulation - Jarek Kubicki

 

One of my favourite magazines too look at is Dark Beauty. The magazine itself is about presenting dark glamour and elements of beauty in a non obvious way. One of the images that have spoken to me today is the works of Katarzyna Konieczka. Konieczka has created some interesting pieces like this collar that has the appeal of a corset. They have also create pieces that have a look of suffocating within their design which shows the essence of darkness.

The reason as to why this image has caught my eye is simple due to the combination as to how the photo has been edited. the photographer Jarek Kubicki has used photo-manipulation to an aspect that has made the photograph appear like a painting. Photo-manipulation is something that I personally love doing and loved discovering as there are multiple directions that you could go. Thus leaving the results endless.

The looks of the photo and the design shows emotion that has been captured by the black and white capture and by the empty look of the models face. The nudity in all of it's elements is one thing that i do love about this piece. As the collar has a slight bondagey feel to the look the nudity adds more to the look. And with the models expression slightly innocent it changes the emotion of the image, making it seem as though she is trapped.

I do love finding beautiful creations late at night and dark beauty is definitely one of the best places to snoop at and strongly recommend.
