About Mother Earth Primary Function: Litrato
Ang Inahang Kalibotan usa ka studio portrait nga litrato nga nagpakita sa planeta sa porma sa tawo isip usa ka babaye nga nagmasakiton. Ang makeup naggamit ug berde, asul ug brown nga mga tono aron irepresentar ang kadagatan, mga tanom ug yuta. Ang nagakamatay nga mga petalo sa bulak gibutang sa ulo sa modelo aron isugyot ang sakit. Ang ekspresyon sa modelo nagpahayag ug kaguol ug pagkahuyang. Ang suga gimugna gamit ang usa ka dako nga octabox sa modelo ug usa ka suga sa backdrop. Ang katapusang hulagway gipino gamit ang digital editing software. Ang litrato nagsumpay sa polusyon ngadto sa emosyon sa tawo ug nagdani ug pagtagad ngadto sa kausaban sa klima.

- Production Technology
- I sketched the idea for the makeup artist to understand the concept. The colors are representation of nature, and the dead flowers on the head of the model to show that she is dying. I asked the model to show vulnerability and sadness. I used one big octabox on the model and one light on the backdrop.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest part of this project was to find an African model. At the time of making this project, modeling agencies wast not common. So finding a model of a specific look was difficult.
- Research
- How earth would look like in a human form is the main is the core of this project. So, I mainly used google to view other artist approach of this concept, to get inspiration. The I did sketches of my own to show them to the makeup artist so she could understand my vision. I decided to hire an African model since Africa is the most connected with nature than others. I used dying petals as a representation of sickness. The green, blue and brown ware used as the colors of nature.
- Inspiration
- When I was a kid winter used to be colder and longer. Climate is actually changing due to global worming. Mother earth is dying and we are the ones responsible for that. So I though to represent planet earth as a sick woman waring nature, with makeup inspired by oceans, plants and soil. I choose an African model, as for me, Africa is the closest place on earth to pure nature.
- Project Duration
- The photograph took around 3 hours for the makeup and shooting in studio and 2 hours of retouching. It was shot in Kuwait 2015.
- Operation Flow
- Mother Earth photograph main perps is to engage with the viewers emotionally. So the best way to view this photograph is to look hard to the model's face and try to read her emotions.
