I made a note to myself a week or so ago to note some of this fine work from photographer Carlo Van De Roer. He works out of New York and can be contacted on his “About” page of his website.
The mood of his images are so mellow and serene, extremely simple palettes of delicate pastels.
These are from his series of empty pools titled appropriately “pools”.
From Carlo’s “Orbs” series:
And lastly and actually what I find most interesting, is his series of images using an experimental camera originally designed in the 70’s to record what a psychic might see, it captures your “aura”.
Some information about the project found here:
These portraits are made with a Polaroid aura camera developed in the 1970s by an American scientist in an attempt to record what a psychic might see. This project explores the idea that a portrait photograph can reveal an otherwise unseen and accurate insight into the subject’s character.
The subject is connected directly to the camera by hand-plates that measure biofeedback, which the camera depicts as an aura of color in the Polaroid and translates into a printed diagram and description explaining the camera’s interpretation of the subject.
I mean, if this is the graphical energy these people are giving off, how amazing would that be? It’s fun in this case to susped disbelief, purely for the sake of enjoyment. Look at the beautiful images:
