Falesney Clovek

Falesney Clovek is an alias/pseudonym for my own brand of Neo Pictorialism. In the Czech language it translates roughly to ‘A Fake Man’!
Pictorialism emerged in the late 19th century, driven by photographers’ desire to reinvent the medium of photography as an art form, emphasising beauty, tonality and composition to elevate it to the same level as painting.
Pictorialists used soft focus, experimental techniques and processes, artisan chemicals and papers to create their atmospheric images and increase their artistic impact.
It waned with the rise of ‘straight’ photography which valued sharpness and documentary precision, but set the stage for future artistic innovation in the field of photography.
