About the Item

"O Captain! My Captain!" Dinokeng, South Africa - 2024 Archival Pigment Print on 315gsm Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta Paper Edition Size: 12 Available sizes: Standard Image Size: 37" x 41" Framed Size: 52" x 56" Large Image Size: 56" x 62" Framed Size: 71" x 77" "The creative premise behind this photograph evolved in the full knowledge that there would be a very low percentage success rate. Sometimes I don’t even press the shutter and then the times that I do shoot, there is normally something that kills the image. But that is part of the deal: we are gambling. It’s a bit like a Hail Mary pass in American Football, so many fortunate things must align for there to be a good outcome. The biggest issue, assuming the lion jumps over the water (which is not a given), is precise focus. I used to use remote controls in this set up, but the camera is only so smart and I prefer to be operating the camera. So now I work from a strategically positioned heavy cage with a wide-angle lens and hope that the lion jumps towards me. When any moving object is this close to the lens, the greater the need for a very fast shutter speed. This photograph makes up for my countless failures. It is a credit to Kevin Richardson’s skills at his sanctuary in South Africa - he is not known as The Lion Whisperer for no reason. We have worked together for over 14 years now and the monies raised from our partnership have gone a long way to securing the long-term future of his lauded sanctuary. Kevin knows more about lions and lion behaviour than anyone and I totally recognize that he brings more to the party than I do. To watch him at work is quite extraordinary and it is an honour to be given such access."- David Yarrow

"Art of Fishnet AOF09" Photography 40" x 40" in Ed. of 10 by Giuliano Bekor
By Giuliano Bekor
Located in Culver City, CA
"Art of Fishnet AOF09" Photography 40" x 40" in Ed. of 10 by Giuliano Bekor Art of Fishnet series Title of artwork: Art of Fishnet series AOF09 Year: 2014 Print size: 40x40 inch Rarity: Limited edition of 10 Medium: Printed on the highest resolution fine art archival Somerset Velvet paper Not framed. Ships in tube. Signature: Hand-signed by artist Certificate of authenticity Included ( Issued by Artist/Gallery ) ABOUT THE ARTIST Internationally recognized photographer, Giuliano Bekor, holds a portfolio that includes work from the realms of fashion, beauty, celebrity, advertising, and fine art. Giuliano’s photography has been featured in top publications around the globe, and his client list includes an endless file of beauty industry leaders, advertising agencies, celebrities, producers, and artists. With 30 years in the industry, Giuliano has perfected his craft to an exceptional level of expertise. Composed of light, color, space and form, Giuliano brings ideas conceptualized in his own imagination into reality throughout his work. Currently living between New York and Los Angeles, Giuliano is often on the move traveling for work and inspiration. Always the restless visionary, he ceases to continually express his fresh and nuanced style. For Giuliano Bekor, a photograph is an image that comes into being consciously, composed of light, color, space and form. Like a painter, he sketches, refining ideas through pen and pencil well before the shutter clicks. A camera is strictly a means to an end, a way of making a palpable visual record of an idea that gestates in his mind, gains shape by his hand, and resolves through his eye as it peers through the lens. His subject is the human body, almost always nude. These images delve into the splendor of the body - how it can express the inner meaning of who we are. Limbs, torsos, muscles and bones are exposed as though carved out of a supple, glowing stone that flexes and twists. Many of these photographs feature subjects posed with the eyes obscured, the face covered. If we look closely, Bekor says, we can see that the body is as much a window into the soul as the eyes. This is a gallery of the soul etched into the forms we assume in the physical world. Through exaggerated contrast between light and dark, smooth and textured, vaporous and tactile, Giuliano deliberately filters the extraneous. The camera captures the image, but for Bekor each exposure is a transformation - of himself, his subjects, and us. He is digging into uneasy turf, fraught with tension: masculine/feminine, heroic/cowardly, shameless/shameful, eternal/fleeting. The intensity of detail, the fiercely exquisite perfection of the bodies themselves, the unflinching, scrupulous engagement of the lens, negates all pretense of politeness. Confronted, we are summoned to look. So we must. And we do. And we experience the beautiful human forms we inhabit and the silent, eloquent language they speak.
