Large format black and white photographic portraits in studio showing the evolution of two brothers, photographed from the age of six months. Each year in June in the same staging and the same conditions of light; evolution in its entire splendor...
This gallery has the particularity to evolve over the years to come, since the two brothers are respectively twelve and six years now and they will be photographed until the age of twenty. The shootings are made with 4X5 inch Polaroid film, specifically the Polaroid 55, legendary film with negative in black and white.
This is the incredible saga of two young children, who come back over the years to add shot by shot a page of the story in this photographic book. An evolution written in the time and transcribed in the middle of the studio of Joel Vogt, who crystallizes their appearance every year in the same light conditions and always on the same chair.
These portraits illustrate a quest for perfection, a deepening of the technique but they demonstrate above all the superiority of Black and White in the immersion in the past. A perpetual new beginning in line with the duration, a visual adventure shared with the whole family. These two brothers have come every year since they were six months old, each time in June, to write a new mark on the tree of ages. When they will be older they will certainly discover those amazing memories with delight.
The story will be transcribed until their twenty years old; they are twelve and six years old at the time of writing. With Polaroid 55 4x5 Inch, the shootings contrast in Black and White and bear the flag of the evolution of Men.
This kind of experimentation and repetition makes us, observers, be more attentive to the evolution of the work of the artist. He is constantly looking for innovating and refining his style to approach this so coveted visual perfection. He keeps analyzing his own creations to learn, to reiterate the exploit and enhance every time the rendering quality: A work of goldsmith, which undoubtedly won't leave you indifferent.
