This is how a series of collages called "Dancing with Costica" appeared. Working simply for the soul, Jane was able to breathe a fairy tale into old photos and give them a new story, giving worn pictures a second life filled with magic.
(Total 7 photos)
1. Costica Axinte was a Romanian war photographer who, after being retired, set up a studio in the Romanian town of Slobozia. About 5,000 of his photographic plates were acquired by the museum in Lolamita. In mid-2013, a museum employee digitized all of Aksinte's works and posted them for public use.
2. Jay Long is a professional graphic designer and photo editor. However, she created a series of works “Dancing with Costică” for the soul. For example, the photo of Costica on the left inspired Jane to create her own version called Innocence.
3. Long used a photo of a boy to create her own version called Shy with a Gun.
4. The original photo of this young couple Long placed in a field and called "Freshness."
5. Long called this work "Corvo".
6. Jane called this work "Beacon Fire" by placing this young woman from the studio (original photo) by the pier using Photoshop.
7. This photo is called "Whistle everyone upstairs."
