'The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance’ Aristotle
You may now have established that Silver Shadow Fotografie is not your typical photography studio. Chris's artworks have been recognised by the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers, to be outstanding with many silvers and a coveted gold award to his name. As a boutique studio, things are kept simple. Some believe this is the way Chris likes it. Others, believe it is so he has some chance to understand what is going on. We invite you to be the judge.
'a liberating triumph only discovered by the adventurous'
As the day approaches you may find anticipation levels heightening. Commonly, clients arrive at the studio mildly terrified (unless you are an ardent nudist in which case please do not arrive at the studio in your birthday suit as Haberfield is a sleepy middle class suburb). These same terrified souls leave the studio liberated and positively transformed by the profound discovery of their inner truth and beauty. Big words? Powerful concept? The thing is, elevating (unfortunately, we do not have an elevator in the building) into the fine art sphere combined with our passion to create intense artworks quickly dilutes any anxiety. As the heading professes, this is only discovered by those who dare!
what happens to the images captured?
The images we exhibit are often from our 'loud and proud crowd'. From time to time there are threats of physical harm if we do not use their images for display, such is their newfound enthusiasm. We get a little nervous sometimes but nonetheless admire this form of passion. Although we are often directed to use their images which depict recognisable faces, we seldom do for their long term privacy.
We understand all your apprehensions and allow you to lock down your images by opting for a NO USE OF IMAGE.
Chris has been commissioned by a diverse range of people including School Head Mistress's, Legal professionals, CEOs & Directors of public companies, Teachers, Defence officers, TV presenters, people from cultures extremely sensitive to any forms of nudity, individuals, mum's and other luminaries to create unique artworks. Surprisingly, a large majority of these artistic souls, at the conclusion of the session, permit the use of their unidentifiable images. Such is the power of the celebrationary and respectful nature of our artwork photography. However their and your identity and privacy will always be protected. We value our reputation as much as we will protect your privacy.
'how much is this going to cost me'?
Glad you asked.
The short answers are a studio fine art session costs $295 and an environmental art nude session is $395
