Very good

Nmv, the "quoting" of the classics is too obvious. The figure on the left is Cartier-Bresson, the figure on the right is Avedon.

Petr Prokhorov, Good afternoon. Despite this, it's still interesting... Thank you.

Galina Balakhonova, pure improvisation on the theme of world masterpieces.
= "V.o.r.d. art," that's how my AI assistant defined such direct borrowing. Hee hee. 😉
To the introduction to the great 👏, it's long overdue...

Alloxa (Psigraphy), it's time to think for yourself, not your assistant.

Galina Balakhonova, but what if your own head no longer works due to objective physiological reasons? What's a sick person supposed to do then? At least the assistant feigns some semblance of intelligence.

Galina Balakhonova, that's exactly what I wanted to convey to you: if you don't have your own ideas, then borrowing from geniuses will only make those familiar with their work laugh...
And those unfamiliar—amateurs—will say wow. Hee-hee! 🤪

Galina Balakhonova, but what about your conscience!? Or can you just ignore your conscience for the sake of likes from amateurs...
And how can you live with that then!? 🤓

Galina Balakhonova, Your opponent recently tried to use AI to create a series of street cards in the style of talented classics—look what he came up with. Horrible...

I'd also be happy to be able to pay homage to the classics on the street, and there's nothing wrong with that. They were there then, and we are now.

Is this a photographer taking a model to a roadside photo shoot?

Alloxa (Psigraphy), Avedon's work is called "Carmen (Homage to Munkácsy)". This is just a reminder for the overly educated opponents of turning to the classics...

I like the photo, it's a fun movie, great movement,
the guy reminds me of a young Rourke)
And the dress is missing, in my opinion, a white detail, like a collar...

Vadim Bogdanov, Hi, Vadim I wasn't aiming for an homage. I was simply inspired by the fashion of the 1930s-50s. Overcoming obstacles is the fastest way to make the situation and characters seem natural. But I'm curious what classics inspired each of them

Troitsky Andrey, yeah, even up into trees, sometimes

Don't listen to the great modern photographers. I'll give just a few examples, like the one about jumping over a puddle:

Avedon.
They all clearly "quoted" Bresson. And they "borrowed" without having any talent of their own.
(There's also, for example, F. Halsman, who has as many jumps as candy wrappers...)

So should every jump over a puddle be considered a quotation now? For me, it's not. Especially since Bresson's meaning isn't in the individual jump itself, but in its connection to the poster.

I like it, Galina! I remember your works, which also made me very happy: "The Sun Lives in My House," "Sunny Bunny," "Cows Grazing in the Meadow..."
Good luck, Galina, and keep making both yourself and us happy!

An absolutely record-breaking shot: many people have filmed people jumping over puddles, but I don't remember if anyone has ever filmed someone jumping over one with a suitcase. Maybe someone can tell me?

Aaaaah! Aaaah! Sorry for the awkward comment. I got distracted and didn't check myself. It's too late to redo it. (Their bin is a blockhead.) My apologies, watt! (That's the unit of measurement.) I hope the idea is clear.

Vadim Bogdanov, Hi, Vadim Yes, I wasn't aiming for an homage. I was simply inspired by fashion from the 1930s-50s. Overcoming obstacles is the fastest way to make a situation and characters feel natural. But I'm curious what each person drew from the classics :)

Galina Balakhonova, Yes, that's understandable. It's cool in itself. The analogies are all very conditional. Although it's good that they appear. And they will always appear. People remain the same, and the human themes are the same. The movements are similar, and the emotions are the same. And the photos are still the same, on the same themes. But everyone has their own little twist. The combinations of human and natural manifestations are endless. All of this can be photographed, photographed, photographed, photographed...

Thank you all for your feedback and discussion
