Eva Polak is a New Zealand photographer who was formerly a graphic designer in her homeland of Poland. Her work explores the possibilities of representing the impressions of a sense of time and motion in which the soft, poetic look is often achieved with the use of vaseline.
Eva Polak, human paths,
Polak has published a book of At the Beach --impressions of the atmospherics at Wattle Bay, one of Auckland's wild west coast beaches. I find that the abstractions work the best--though I haven't seen the ballerina work. There is a genuine play in movement, light and colour in this body of work.
I have tentatively explored the abstraction/movement in nature but my results have been disappointing to date. There was very little drama in the image and the images looked drab. I wasn't trying to break all the rules---the image being out of focus and using vaseline.
