Examples of Helmi Flick’s Work
This is a large format Vimeo video of a selection of Helmi Flick’s cat photographs. As she has taken thousands upon thousands of outstanding photographs the selection was made randomly. It was a case of whatever came to hand. That may sound careless but it is not. Almost any set of Helmi photos would be equally suitable. Although for some inexplicable reason I chose lots of Ragdolls. Perhaps, some Freudian thing happened. Ragdolls do suit the music, though.
Why did I make it? These are reasons:
- The first reason is poor. I embedded this slideshow somewhere on the site before but can’t find it. If I can’t find it, who can 😉 So, I thought I’d embed it again.
- To show off Helmi’s cat photographs. She is possible the best cat photographer in the world; certainly in the very top bracket and there are quite a few cat photographers. Channan, who is also American, and whose photos are used by the CFA is not as good. His lighting is nowhere near as good; much less vibrant. Helmi’s photos are used by TICA the other large American cat association. Although TICA is an international cat association.
- Vimeo videos are very high quality. They are known for that. This makes them particularly suitable for Helmi’s pictures in a video.
- I discovered that Apple’s well known photographer’s software called “Aperture” has the facility to do these fancy slideshows. I like the breaking up and reforming of the image. The music is bundled-in to the program so I used it. Although I don’t know whether Apple purchased the rights for its customers to use the music. I would hope and expect that to be the case. I have assumed it to be the case!
