Ben Dzign, "Isabelle Forest Series"









I can't tell you many informations about Ben Dzign, except he's french and lives in Paris, is about 26 years old... and shooted an exceptional series called "Isabelle Forest" that I wanted you to discover.

The model is beautiful, the delicate black and white tones make her wonderful, the compositions are perfect. All the elements fit perfectly well for these great shots I admire with respect : her looks, the poses, her joyful expressions and the splendid backgrounds.

Many other excellent pictures to discover on his space at deviantART !

Iris Dassault : there is no hazard !


From the Iris Dassault's blog, a very nice coincidence about an image by Andrew J Baran she just posted, to compare to this one I just posted here, made by Joe Oliveira :

Some great precisions by Iris :
" This image is somewhat reminiscent of Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. Vitruvian Man is Da Vinci's world famous drawing depicting the proportions of a man inside a circle and a square. This drawing has inspired many movies (Da Vinci Code, Harry Potter, Pi, etc..) as well as artists to create their own version of it.
2*PI*r = the circumference of a circle.
I'm a math person.
I love this.
How could I not ? Thank you Andrew and Eve.
Post Edit : Univers d'Artistes also posted an iteration on the Vitruvian Man on his blog (by Joe Oliveira). What a funny coincidence..."

Thanks Iris ! It's good to be fun !...

Nick Owen, photographer and poet


Nick Owen and at deviantART.






"Trees have eyes"
Art Model Karin








Nick Owen is a renowned poet from UK. He's also a playwright, a gifted professional photographer (a poem-picture artist as he called himself), an inspiring teacher of creative writing and a life coach.

Nick Owen is a great nature lover, full of joy and happiness, as you'll see in his lively portfolios made of wonderful outdoor photographies lighting up the female body in close communion with the real nature.

I'll just end by telling you that I'm proud and happy to welcome here inside such a nice artist.









"Ma Jess tic"







Nick was born in Bromsgrove in 1950. His father, a local politician, brought new life to medaieval festivals and rituals in the town, so that Nick grew up with a strong sense of myth and story.

His poetic talents first appeared printed in the Malvernian journal while he was at school. At Keele University he graduated in Psychology and Philosophy and directed plays, going on to qualify as a drama teacher in 1974.

Nick taught in London schools from 1974-1976, while studying drama therapy and counselling.
After a period of social work with the Community Drug Project in Camberwell he went into private practice as a counsellor.

He began to lead fairy tale focussed personal development workshops at Playspace, Westminster Pastoral Foundation and Middlesex Polytechnic at this time. He became one of the first graduates of the Institute of Pastoral Education and Counselling in 1980. There he became a Board Member and National Training Committee Member, introducing Art and Drama work into the curriculum.








"Dark Triangle"










"Water feature"











"Peacock with nymph"





Nick worked in London Social Services as groupwork development and training officer for children and mental health services from 1980 to 1986. From 1986-7 he was an AIDS/HIV co-ordinator in the NHS.

In 1990 he founded the Oxford School of Psychotherapy and Counselling with Mary Duhig. The study of fairy tales became a core part of the curriculum for students, many of whom went on to take part in the "Self and Others research project" exploring fairy tales in personal history and peer relationships.

From 1998 Nick has worked intensively with people's birth and prebirth stories, setting up the Oxford Prenatal and Perinatal Education Research and Awareness trust.

Nick's work has always been focussed on the drama of family life. He has worked in some of the most intense and demanding fields of social work, education and therapy. He now spends most of his time in personal development work, social research, and writing plays and poetry, and developing the Art of "Poetry and Pictures" in the Uk and Internationally.









"Swish of hare"











"A midsummer night's dream"

Nick is also an inspiring teacher of creative writing. He set up the Creative Arts Programme at Westminster Pastoral Foundation, and taught development workshops using creative arts for many years at the Oxford Centre for Human Relations.

Elena Moncrieff joins us











"Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk"
Model Tonya



Elena Moncrieff loves art, all form of art.

She's a theatre addict who enjoys acting on stage and watching as many performances than she can.

She also loves writing, even if she thinks, like me and many writers, "just the whole process of it is quite curious".

Besides all these deep passions, Elena Moncrieff is a true gifted artist full of creative emotions.

I'll never tell enough how much I love the feminine way to shoot. Her portfolio is a fantastic journey into her inspired soul. There is nothing shooted for nothing, each pictures has its own sense. And last, but not the least, I love her titles... Of course... She loves writing.









"Insecurity"

“Worry gives a small thing a big shadow.”











"Beyond The Invisible"
Art Model Lucy


"I look into the mirror, See myself, I'm all over me... I need space for my desires, Have to dive into my fantasies... I know as soon as I'll arrive, Everything is possible... 'Cause no one has to hide, Beyond the invisible..."
(Enigma - "Beyond The Invisible")






Revolutionary Senses, written by Elena Moncrieff :

" What I hear…
The uncontrollable fantasies weep on the icy surface of my soul,
And the deafening sound of tales of love and adoration echoes with their fall.

" What I see…
The grieving sepulchre of my frozen emotion trembles at the touch of butterflies,
And the murky land cracks with the fall of a wicked god-send rolling dice.

" What I smell…
The acerbic scent of my phantom’s burning essence floods the frosty air,
And the aromatic nightfall slowly drifts with treacly Machiavellian flair.

" What I taste…
The glacial ocean of one tear creates a perpetual sadness bitter in my mouth,
And the sweet blood of my forlorn broken heart steeply sings far out.

" What I feel…
The arctic darkness of this night covers my face and embraces my mind,
And sends her warmth through my temples, where a shelter She will find."









Show Me Forgiveness

"Show me forgiveness For having lost faith in myself, And let my own interior up To inferior forces. The shame is endless, But if soon stars show forgiveness The girl might live." (Björk - "Show Me Forgiveness")










"La Valse d'Amélie"










"Safe From Harm"
Art Model Diana

"Lucky dippers Crazy chancers Seems to be moving fast What happened to the nicities Of my childhood days Well I can't do nothing 'bout that, no But if you hurt what's mine I'll sure as hell retaliate... You can free the world, you can free my mind, Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight..." (Massive Attack - "Safe From Harm")
