Interview with Isa Gelb<\/strong>
\nby Abel Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez G.<\/p>\n

What camera and other tools did you use to shoot this photograph?<\/strong>
\nA Contax G2 with a Contax TLA 200 flash.<\/p>\n

Tell us about the place and time when this photograph was taken. What were you doing there that day?<\/strong>
\nThis picture was taken during a rehearsal of a classical music women’s choir in a protestant church. On that cold day of February, my plan was staying home watching a movie but I got a call from a friend chorister asking me to come shooting the rehearsal. I must say that I wasn\u2019t very willing to go but I did. That place was completely unexpected for me, the light was very low and the atmosphere cold but calm and mystical. Kinda great actually.<\/p>\n

What do you like the most about this photograph and why?<\/strong>
\nI love the shape of her dress which shows her moles on her back and her shiny hair.
\nI also see a kind of sweetness that emanated from this photo. I regret not knowing anything about this chorister, neither her name nor her vocal range. So I call her the unknown beauty marks girl<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Is there a title for this photo? If so, why did you choose it? If not, what would be a good title for it?<\/strong>
\nI’m not a documentary photographer so giving a title to my photos doesn’t make sense to me. I tend to believe that it is better not to give the viewers a clue. This way they can create their own story.<\/p>\n

Was there anything that you can consider an influence or source of inspiration to create this photo?<\/strong>
\nI was greatly influenced by William Eggleston’s way of framing. I like to crop subjects. It affects how you interpret that image.<\/p>\n

Tell us something fun, interesting, weird or intense that happened at any point during the process of making this photo.<\/strong>
\nThe strangest thing was that I didn’t feel comfortable making noise while the girls were getting ready for rehearsal. They were all completely focused on their score so I tried to act like an invisible person to not disturb them. Quite difficult because the shutter of analog cameras is quite noisy. So I felt like an elephant in a porcelain store as we say in French, in English I believe it’s like an elephant in a China shop.<\/p>\n

For this photo, did you do something completely different to what you normally do for other photos?<\/strong>
\nShooting people is not what I normally do and even less in this low light conditions, so I tried to be more careful setting the camera than I usually do.<\/p>\n

Did you learn something during the process of shooting this photo?<\/strong>
\nYes! I realized that I shouldn’t have been so shy in my approach to singers to get better pictures.<\/p>\n

Where and in which format would you like this photo to be exhibited?<\/strong>
\nIn a small format on one of the walls of that protestant church would be great.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
