My Tumblr

Not sure why, but i've created a Tumblr account.
For now, i'm posting one photo per day (using their lovely Queue), like the good old Fotolog.
For now (2), i'll stick with showing my photos (collages may appear, but not soon):

I've also created a Pinterest account to pin my favorite photos of other people (mostly masters like: Winogrand, Cartier-Bresson, etc).

Back to Photography...

Hmmm, its been 6 months that i don't update this thing...
And sorry, no Collages today... nor soon...
I've been busy taking pictures.
Went to Germany (Netherlands and Finland too) in August 2011 and bought a Fuji X100, after trying to take some pics with the Canon 5D mark 1 I bought in March 2011. The DLSRs are too big and the 5D has a bad high ISO (>800?) performance since its a 2004 sensor.

Then from September to December i stayed in NY, taking lots of pictures, mostly Street Photography.

And here is my updated photography portfolio:

Back to 2D (new analog collage)

Title: Back to 2D.
Analog Photomontage / Collage
Made on 110212.
Size: 18x17.5cm.
Using only national geographic jan/11 (US edition).

So you may wonder why this 2D title?
Well, if you check all my collages, i was pretty stuck with 3D backgrounds / photomontage style for quite some time.
With this one i got back to connecting images by following paths between them.
Example: in the upper left, the tree merges into the mountain that merges on the upper right with the brown/bege limit. Others are there for you to find out...

Warps - new digital photomontage

(note: ultra-highly recommended to be viewed in fullscreen or downloaded)

Title: Warps
Digital Photomontage / Collage by iuri kothe, made on 110114.
Using a photo a took in 2010: 100916 morro de sao paulo 014 (haven't uploaded it anywhere yet).
Mainly selecting triangles & freeforms and using the amazing warp transformation feature.

Long time i don't try a digital collage (crazy, the last digital one was in 2007 with photos i took in boipeba - an island near morro), and the last times i've tried an analog one, nothing came out. i think i'm a little tired of making the same style again, so i tried some new directions...

my main inspiration was this montage by anatoly: "Persistent Pyramids".

obs: i've finally started to code my own website (in rails), hope to release it as open source soon...

obs2: i've changed the Creative Commons of my Flickr photos just to 'Attribution' (more info on CC-by here). basically you can use, share, remix & sell, burn, ... given you remember to credit me somewhere ;-)
