Or should I say photographing art.......
From a small village in Northern Chihuahua Mexico comes some of the most beautiful hand built pottery in the world. The artists dig their own clay and build the pots without a potter's wheel. They paint using brushes made from human hair and paints made from natural minerals gathered in the area.
Two of my favorite artists are Abraham Rodriguez and Laura Bugarini. These artists are both young. Laura is in her early 20s and Abraham is 17 years old.
Laura is one of the top artist in the village. She has a waiting list months long for her work which takes days or weeks to paint. This is a close up of one of her famous designs:
This jar is 6 inches tall and has 64 bands of designs. She uses no magnification while painting:
Abraham uses a different technique called sgraffito. He paints the white clay jar with black paint then scratches the design into the leather hard clay. This jar is 11 inches tall. I shot them in Black and white. I think this makes the photos more dramatic.
I hope I did the beautiful pieces justice........
Thanks for looking,
Blair
