This is by far one of the best photo i’ve seen on this platform. The concept, the execution, the post production, all great. And the strong message! Kudos for you and the team. To me, this is more than beautiful.
Warm regards to you and all your friend there. You guys are amazing.
ok i had to go out of the bed to the pc to see this full screen :D
you have a lot of great work but this is maybe the best i seen. this needs to be printed big :)
on the taking away 5 zeros thing, in our country they did something similar but cut a lot of 0 and it worked for some strange reason.
voted, resteemed, now back to bed, it is early or late :)
Yeah, I think this would be pretty awesome printed big. It did get viral over here. We intend to make this a series. Famous Movie scenes recreated in Venezuela. Let's see how that goes. It's probably one of the most produced photos I've done. I was really happy with the outcome :)
P.S: This is the second time we take zeros away from the bill :( In our case it's only made inflation worst.
Oh Mako, this is so sweet of you. By no means see this as spamm. Love your comment. You having nothing to thank me. Talent should always be rewarded and your stories are genius! You did the hard work, all I did was find it.
First of all, I am sorry to hear about the situation in Venezuela. It is always sad to see that such a beautiful country goes in such a bad direction. So much cash can buy a cup of coffee? I can't even find a word which would describe how sad this makes me.
Now to the photo : Great idea that tells a story! I love the model. She perfectly represents what you were looking for. The contrast between her and the money is strong.
I love the photo with the team! That is so cute and cheerful. I wouldn't expect that so many people are needed for the photography. I would love to see such photos more often to appreciate people behind the scenes more.
Oh thank you!!! Well, you had to have someone place all the bills, direct the model, another one moving the lights, while a 3rd one was on the stairs testing the manual focus. So yeah, it was a team work. It took us around 1 hour to get it all right, it was really a single shot, once everything was in place it didn't take long. But the concept itself took us days.
I know I should be thinking about the concept and how it's a commentary on the economic situation in your country, remarking on the huge production you were involved in, with so much work and thought going into a single image, and complimenting you on the final result, but I'm still stuck on trying to figure out how you seamlessly cloned in a bunch of bills to fill out the background without it looking weird! How long did THAT part take you? :p
Jajajaja. Ok, so I'll tell you my secret. I outlined a bunch, and made a layer with it, and just copied pasted it in different angles and added a tiny shadow to it since it was outlined. Does it make sense? Took me around 4 hours to edit the photo.

I'm trying so hard to think of an idea to use a LotR scene...
photo looks great even if you don't know where is it taken, but when you know when and where is it taken it gives it much more.
This is absolutely stunning and powerful.
What an amazing concept and window into Venezuela today. Beautiful work @gabyoraa!
Thanks guys! It was hard work but really worth it.
I prefer this to spamming your wallet, but thanks for nominating my post for a @curie upvote! What you do means the world for small artists like me.
Have an excellent day!

There is so much to say about this photoshoot!

Amazing photo, and great post that covers the background of the photoshoot, gaby!!! I love this very much !!! :D
Thanks Spidey :)
Wow Gaby how did I miss this post! This is truly an amazing photograph and it is that much better with the story behind it. Awesome!

Yes it makes sense, and I wondered if it was something like that. Well done!! I noticed the copies but didn't know how you went about copying them.
Okay, now you can have my thoughts, remarks, and compliments on the rest of the production. :)
