Photographs in black and white - The CreativeMindClass Blog
We sought out Titika about her secret for making her black and white photographs
"My name is Titika Rotkjaer, I'm an artist from Copenhagen, Denmark. Following my studies in communication at Roskilde University, Denmark, I moved to Norway to study visual art beginning at Oslo National Academy of the Arts, later in Bergen which is where I completed my studies in visual art through the Bergen Academy of Art and Design with a MA in textile Art. There is no formal training in photography. The knowledge I have about photography and editing comes through continuous self-education.
Would you like to learn more about my style? Do I want to talk about style rather than style? I don't think of style... Telling stories from an artistic and personal viewpoint, in each image I concentrate on mood, expression, the mood. Making my pictures appear is an ongoing process. My goal is always to improve and clear the meaning. In some instances, I redo old photographs when I learn something new that enables me to come closer to what I was trying to achieve.
What is the secret to the mysterious images I have created ...? The majority of my photographs that I have created over the past four years - I've been looking at the complexity and the self, with a special interest in connecting the inner and external worlds. Many of my images are not necessarily the same. comprise digitally from several pictures (all, of course, shot by me).
My approach usually begins by expressing an interest or interest in exploring a topic or complex of feelings. I photograph, take notes, and then read for greater knowledge. I then take another shot. Working with the images often inspires me to make an entirely new image from several other. I create my work in a way that is subjective, experimental as well as intuitively with the theme to let my photographs develop. It's difficult to have an accurate vision of the final product to my eye, and I then photograph the elements that build it."
