double exposure



Reconheceram? Pois bem, este fotógrafo belga fez algumas viagens onde andou atrás de locais de filmagens, de modo a fotografá-los no exacto ângulo utilizado pelos realizadores dos filmes. Permitam-lhe que se apresente e no final cliquem no link para acederem à galeria de locais por ele fotografados.


My name is Pieter Dirkx and I’m a painter/photographer from Belgium.
My biggest passion is cinema and you will see that it’s a recurrent theme in my stream.

PAINTINGS
These are usually film-based. I always try to find images that come from either big movie classics, silents, home videos, etc... The most interesting thing for me is when the context of these images somehow changes because only a particular frame is painted.
Most of my paintings are for sale, so you can contact me to discuss the prizes.

FILMING LOCATIONS
This is something I’ve started to do when I was visiting Coney Island in New York. I had some screenshots from Darren Aronofsky’s ‘Requiem for a Dream’ with me because I just wanted to see if I could find the spots. I then decided to emulate the position of the actors. A few pictures later, I also started trying to find the exact camera angle, and I’ve been doing this on every vacation since then…
The movies I’ve found the locations of so far are: Requiem for a Dream, 28 Days Later, A Clockwork Orange, The Man who Knew Too Much, Hostel, Mandragora, Amadeus, The Illusionist, Casino Royale, Girl with a Pearl Earring, Any Way the Wind Blows and C’est Arrivé Près de Chez Vous.
On my next trips to London and (hopefully) Paris, I will take pictures of: 'Around the World in 80 Days', 'Lawrence of Arabia', 'The Man Who Knew Too Much', 'Interview With the Vampire', 'A Bout de Souffle (Breathless)', 'Eyes Wide Shut', 'Blow-Up', 'The Dreamers', 'Trainspotting', more scenes from 'A Clockwork Orange', 'Masculin/Féminin', 'Sleepy Hollow', 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade', 'The Ladykillers', 'The Elephant Man', etc...
Oh and just to clarify things: Other people are copying this but I did it first ;)
