Elena Vaninetti

Dear Collector, 
As an artist, I firmly believe in the value of vision, dedication, hours of hard work, in-camera artistry and mastery of light—not images generated in seconds by a machine. 

I teach professionals worldwide on how to art direct, how to light their scenes, how to shoot, how to edit. Everything you see in my work, I shot. I never rely on AI or stock imagery.
So when you are bidding on one of my images, you are actually bidding on hours and hours of preparation, prop and set creation, makeup/hair on set, actual shooting and careful post-processing, unlike many of the AI images out there.

"Chrysallis" was shot in my studio and the butterflies, which were imported from Thailand for the needs of the shoot were placed one by one on the model's body, a very delicate process since they are extremely fragile. The wings on the model's back are from the biggest butterfly shot up close to give it the size needed to be added in the image. "Chrysallis" is part of a new series dealing with issues of pain and healing, of fragility and simultaneous strength.

The artwork is a Giclee Fine Art piece printed on Lustre Art Paper with a subtle pearl-like texture/finish. The giclée printing process uses high-resolution inkjet printers and archival pigment-based inks to produce fine art prints with exceptional detail, color accuracy, and longevity. It is the preferred method for museum-quality reproductions due to its ability to preserve the original artwork’s depth and richness for over 100 years without fading.

Image Dimensions are 50mX70cm
Print Dimensions are 60cmX76cm 
CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY is included. All my prints bear my signature and edition number.
