Alexander Seleznyov: I remember that day. I went to the Dead Sea to catch the sunset lights, but I was really late because of the car traffic. I ran towards the water but was still late. I also wanted to find a special location but missed it in the darkness. I was really disappointed. However, giving up isn’t in my nature, so I started to experiment with a lantern. As its glow pierced the night, I experimented with angles and perspectives, and what emerged surprised me.
Yet, the image's transformation wasn’t complete. When I collaborated with Dress n Draw, a new chapter began for that photograph. They breathed life into it, enhancing its beauty and depth. The vibrant colors and added details they introduced made the scene come alive in a way I hadn't imagined. It was then that I truly realized its potential, and the image shone with a renewed purpose and brilliance.
Dress n Draw: I believe that photography becomes art when it doesn't just capture a moment, but when it creates a new reality that you can dive into through the lens. When we look at a photo, it's more than just a snapshot; it's a doorway to another world, a story waiting to be told.
The image he captured was already filled with mystery, making the viewer curious about the story behind it. However, I felt it had the potential to tell a deeper tale. So, I drawn a dragon, a symbol of power and wonder. I also added magical fire, a touch to intensify the sense of fantasy.
