«Фотография – это ложь. Подумайте сами: фотографы создают двухмерные, зачастую напрочь лишенные цвета изображения и надеются, что все поверят, будто всё так и было на самом деле. Удивительнее всего то, что люди клюют на это с необычайной легкостью, словно желая быть обманутыми. Более того, они упорно верят, что сфотографировать можно только то, что на самом деле находится перед глазами. Зритель – ленивый эгоцентрист, не желающий тратить ни одной лишней секунды на то, что ему кажется неинтересным и недостаточно простым для понимания. Людям любопытно то, что значимо для них самих, а это означает, что зрителя больше интересует то, что фотография выражает, а не то, что на ней изображено. Так давайте воспользуемся этим!» Ираклий Шанидзе – профессиональный фотограф, основатель и декан Международной академии фотоискусства. Один из ярких, узнаваемых мастеров современной рекламной, арт-фотографии, запоминающейся особым, ироничным, психологическим стилем. Победитель многочисленных международных премий и конкурсов. Он расскажет секреты своего мастерства: как маэстро обманывает взгляд зрителя, цепляет его. Как сделать хороший портрет, как шутить посредством фотографии, расскажет про метод Хальсмана и Аведона. Книга будет интересна как профессионалам, так и начинающим фотографам.

«Родственники» и загадки «Менин». Веласкес после 1640 года» Лука Джордано назвал «Менины» Веласкеса «теологией живописи». Эта картина – барочный концепт, логическая загадка – скрывает множество тайн, ключей к творчеству самого Веласкеса и его современников, а также возможностей интерпретации: символических, астрологических, фрейдистских, постмодернистских. Художник, монарх и зритель вовлечены в нескончаемую игру, а в зеркальной галерее «Менин» сошлись «Семья Арнольфини» Ван Эйка, «Фурии» Тициана, «Прометей» и «Вулкан» Рубенса, «Минерва и Арахна» и «Аполлон победитель Пана» Йорданса – и вплоть до «Герники» Пикассо. Именно «Менины» – главная работа позднего Веласкеса, но после 1640 были написаны и и новые парадные портреты, и «Венера перед зеркалом», и «Менип» с «Эзопом», и «Пряхи» – еще одна барочная загадка Веласкеса.
