Color Interference In Monochrome World

An unexpected combination of photography and embroidery, the apparent simplicity of execution, but the result is touching, I would even say delicate, filled with tenderness and love.
Aline Brant is a photographer from Brazil who doesn't need photoshop to add new details to her photos and make them mysterious and poetic. First, she shoots models with a film camera in natural light, and then decorates her black-and-white photos with bright flowers, branches and lianas of plants, saturating them with the breath of the wind.
According to Brant, one of the ideas of the project is a tribute to the work of the American poet, Jungian school psychoanalyst, post-trauma specialist and writer Clarissa Estes, who spent a lot of time working with post-traumatic soldiers or those who lost limbs and children who suffered injuries.
Aline's current creations are the result of numerous experiments. For a long time, she tried to transform her photos without going to the computer. So she tried many different techniques to increase the value of her photos: engraving, fire, drawing, and watercolor... But in the end, she chose embroidery, "It was the most difficult method, but it gave the best aesthetic result."
I would like a little embroidery skills and perseverance, be sure to "play" with family photos, especially children's-a flat image and "live" stitches can surprise, decorate, and give reason to think. A good design-glass and frame, will turn this pampering into a wonderful gift.
