Mumbai: Oleg Oprisco is a talented photographer from Lviv, Ukraine, who creates stunning surreal images of elegant women in fairy-tale or dream-like settings. There’s one significant difference, however, that sets him apart from other artists who create similar work — Oprisco shoots using an old film camera unlike his contemporaries who use digitals and elaborate editing techniques.
According to Bored Panda, by taking the photos on the old film camera, Oprisco has to create everything that he wants in his frame. With the scope of digital manipulation out of the question, Oprisco’s sets are live and organic .
“I’ve found it ideal to do everything myself. I come up with a concept, create the clothing, choose the location and direct the hair and makeup,” Oprisco explains in his statement. “Before shooting, I plan the overall colour scheme. According to the chosen palette, I select clothes, props, location, etc, making sure that all of it plays within a single colour range.”
Oprisco uses Kiev 6C and Kiev 88 cameras with medium-format film and a variety of lenses.
It’s clear that Oprisco is deeply passionate about his work. “Each of my photos is a scene from real life. That is the perfect source of inspiration for me as there is so much beauty to it,” says the ukrainian.
