I use the term “Photographer” loosely on this one, because Michal Mozolewski doesn’t take pictures, as far as I know. Instead he starts with images from other people’s work, and then drops them into photoshop and tweaks and layers on bits of textures and brush strokes and paint images to create these very impressionistic images that look like mixed media works on canvas.
It’s a very evocative, gritty, emotional way of creating. There’s a lot of chaos to it. I’d love to sit down and watch him work, there’s probably a lot of throwing stuff up, seeing if it fits, and tossing it if it doesn’t. I kinda think that the fact that he doesn’t shoot his own images gives him an edge. Since he starts with someone else’s picture he has to obscure it in some way, or else it would just be creative theft. So he layers and layers things until it looks completely different than it did.
Very inspiring though. He’s definitely doing it in a way that makes it his own, and his unique voice is coming through very strongly.
