Radiant Buddha by D Light
There are many images of Buddha. There are many who meditate with a Buddha image. Meditation can involve an inner shift and sometimes to what might be described as ‘a state of inner radiance. That is what this card points to. / Starting with a golden wood block of Buddha I then experimented with Photo Shop to create the radiance effects.

Have the wish I wish tonight. I’m sure we’ve all wished on a star at some stage in our lives, whether it be the brightest in the sky, or a solitary shooting star. The 5 year old inside me wants to believe that if i were to make a wish right now, it would come true “because i saw that star fall from the sky”. But what to wish for? Money? Success? Happiness? / Although “all of the above” seems to be an enticing option, right now, I’d wish for Clarity and Opportunity. Why? Quite simply because I’ve been thinking alot about my photography ventures lately, and came to the rather frustrating conclusion that I simply have no direction. I try something, then move on without first exhausting all avenues of the original theme. I have so many things I want to try, I rush to complete each project and have no liking for, or take no satisfaction from, the product. Thinking about this, I dedicated some time to look through my favourite images by OTHER artists, and found that i am drawn predominantly to portraits and dreamy wildflowers at the moment. And actually now think about it, that’s where I’ve ALWAYS been drawn really. Perhaps it’s the untold story, the possibility. I don’t know. Looking at my own images, I have little to no representation of either subject. WHY? Perhaps it’s a fear of failing to capture what I see in the work of others, or it could be something else entirely. I think we can all agree, my wish for Clarity is quite valid, and much needed! So, Opportunity. Perhaps this should be a wish for another star, but I’m not willing to take any chances. Opportunity to follow in a specific direction. Not dally from pillar to post, walking in circles, following the same signposts to nowhere in particular… My inner child is watching, waiting for that elusive falling star….

Tiny Dancer by Tara Lemana
Wow, this one was a bit of a journey! This started life as a photo of my beautiful little sister playing around in the back yard with my kids. I caught her in a pose that reminded me of a Spanish Flamenco dancer and just HAD to try to turn her into one. Only thing was – she was dressed in jeans, a woollen jumper and sneakers. So – first off, she needed a dress. I loathe using other people’s art to make my own so I did not want to take the easy way out by downloading a stock photo for the dress. I had nothing remotely like a the right type of dress to use so I ended up creating this one out of, I kid you not, 417 tiny layers of texture (my own resource, naturally) to create all the waves etc. HOURS and HOURS of work, but the end result was worth it, to my mind anyway. Then of course her hair style needed to be changed from a ponytail into a bun, and flowers needed to be added. / Then I decided that I wasn’t happy with the abstract background I had her in. Next followed a marathon of settings, again all using my own resources, to try her in, from beach scenes to perching on flower petals. Nothing was quite right. / This is what I decided on in the end. My only lament is that because she is tiny, much of the detail in the dress is lost. I hope you’ll view this large to get some idea of just how detailed the dress is, if only to humour me! :))) All resources my own, taken with my Canon Powershot A480 point and shoot in the past month. Proudly New Zealand-Made!!! :) Close up shot of the dancer: SOLD – Two greeting cards of this image, July 2009.

About This Group
Welcomel!!!
Experimental is a group for NEW things.
It is a group for people experimenting with new forms of photography or artwork that they have not tried before and perhaps want feedback on. The group should contain some very unusual photographs and artwork in that may be quite off-the-wall.
Writing can also be experimental, so if you have an unusual idea, style or anything that you want to bounce of some other people, this is the place to do it!
Open to all people, amateurs, semi-professional AND professional photographers, writers, etc. All forms of art are allowed, but please only upload your best, to keep the quality high.
Feel free to add to and browse through our forums… suggesting ideas and processes, whatever you like!
Our group avatar is Sick of Disrespect by Johanne Brunet

Also: If you think your work isn’t just experimental for you, but maybe a new kind of art…in other words, that it is “Avant-Garde”...please consider joining the Avant-Garde Group
