#INSEARCHOFTHEPERFECTFLAW . in search of the perfect flaw. when I started shooting for the #WFC50 coffee-table-book (a collaboration of fashion matchmaker Isrid van Geuns (IS WORKS), designer Tamara Claasen and myself, commissioned by the World Fashion Centre, I also started working for the first time with the Hasselblad Flexbody combined with the Phase One IQ180. that is not a match made in heaven.. the weirdest faults would appear. massive black areas, highly saturated green wide stripes, purple hues.. it took me some time to figure out how to make the camera stop making these faults as soon as it started making them again (and it created these faults at random, but every time I had someone in front of my lens..). but I also figured out that my frustration over the useless results sometimes, sometimes, made place for a surge of joy with a photo that actually pleased me.. so I tried to find out how to induce a series of flawed shots. by the end of the book, when we got to the cover photo, I was really aiming for two shots.. a 'good' one for the cover AND a flawed one that would give me somthing extra.. 'in search of the perfect flaw'. this is the second photo I post here from this book (earlier in this feed you can see Bas Kosters holding his own head in a remake/variant of a Medusa sculpture). it appears on a page with mostly flaws.. 'bloopers'.. but to me it's not a flaw, and most defenitely not a blooper..
