"Series of Picasso Painting" (photo analysis)

Eugenio Recuenco based photographer from Madrid, who works mostly in publishing and advertising field. His style of photography is like "Cinematographic and Pictorial" styles. And one of the series he produced is series of Pablo Picasso's eclectic cubist portraits. Recuenco strikes the perfect balance between Picasso's work and maintaining creative expression in the model. He used his brilliant fashion idea and his cinematographic and pictorial style to creates the moods, postures, and clothing of the painting, each picture builds something unique to its          viewers. He deal with all his photograph on the same way, every time his photographing the picture he wants to tell story to the viewer, and he used fashion to achieved his target. And its not about beautiful model with beautiful dress but its about the content of the images that really matter to him. It proved to the picture that he did to this series

When I look this series for the first time, its really amazed me of his style of work. Even im not a fashion photographer, but I think doing this series its really quiet challenging. and i asked my self like how did he do it?  Firstly, it's really hard to create the clothes style similarity with Pablo's work, the clothes that needed should be very abstract, and like the example on the last picture,   with a difficult transformation from painting to photograph, its impossible to create the same as the painting. Secondly, need to direct the models perfectly to get the right mood and of course its just not only a random model that he looking for, he need to matched it perfectly to create a perfect picture. and the color palette that he used intelligently perfect.  Indeed, Recuenco succeed to captured it with the right models, captured the moment, right mood on the picture, which i found out that its really hard. and i like the way he put some line on the pictures and add some portrait on the background also quite interesting, I think its because of that also help the photograph more  look alike Picasso's works. 

Its clear that Recuenco's still have been meticulously constructed. The models which are costumed to match closely as possible with Picasso's paintings, are precisely placed to mirror the original compositions. The exaggerated hair and make up add a theatrical flair to the stillness of the women. This creating an attractive yet mysterious angle on Picasso's paintings.

Its really brave way Recuenco taking on such a renowned artist as Pablo Picasso. Recuenco Challenge himself to be different to the original artist. where Picasso faced the task of depicting a three dimensional form through Cubism, Recuenco's trial was to create the look and feel of cubism using a medium that already offers an accurate interpretation. and from the result its is clear that Recuenco and Picasso both are perfectionists with an appreciation for the female aesthetic. they both succeed draw on female sensuality and  delicately produce works that ignite a reaction from the onlooker.
