I'd like to meet:
"From the lush and rustic environs of her native upstate New York, to the chimera and ceremony of the Los Angeles subcultures through which she currently shapes her myth, photographer Barb Bel captures the whimsical within the absolute. Her camera sees the abstruse beauty, tragedy, and absurdity of life, and works within its immediate context to commemorate a distinctly individual moment to the immortality of collective experience. The images that result can be literal and direct, or romantic with evasive translation, but Ms. Bels spirited philosophy shines through: Life may be silly, and serious, and nonsensical by turn, but taken moment by moment, its beauty surpasses the anxiety of the particular." - Larissa Silva
I am a Los Angeles based Photographer//Designer Looking to expand my portfolio ALWAYS.I grew up around comic books and videogames.. I like the worlds that they created and i got lost in their fantasy. I would like to feel that again.
My art involves a variety of different media including photography, drawing, painting, flyer design, tattoo design, graphic design and illustration.What I'm seeking: Models, Artists, photographers, poets, right brain thinkers, magicians, fire performers, contortionists, most likely YOU. I want to create a visual dreamland.. otherworldly images that embrace beauty and darkness with a passion. I would like to try my hand at Fire eating/dancing, screen printing, jewelry making, sculpture, metal work(welding), and glass blowing. I'm always experimenting with my design and technique, and I love learning new creative processes.I'm also looking to get in front of the camera lately...interested photographers in the LA area hit me up.Heroes:
