LA CHICA DEL BONET
Photographer and collage creator
BIOGRAPHY
Collage. Photography. Artistic disciplines.
La Chica del Bonet is the pseudonym of Inés Lendínez, the name I use to present my photography and collage projects.
I started as a teenager with collages lining my high school folders and notebooks with the newspapers and magazines I found. I didn't think at that time to dedicate myself to it, I didn't even know it was a profession, but I got so hooked on the idea that I've been doing it ever since. However, there was a break after studying Image in the FP and then, being a camera assistant for several production companies, going through the design, creation and animation of digital and audiovisual content for different companies, photo shoots and teaching classes of Adobe programs.
Collage as a creative process
For collages, I use both digital and analog techniques. From my photographs I have always related, even in different themes, that union that the human being has with nature. I use it as a metaphor using elements such as flowers, plants, animals... For the design of covers, clients have asked me to use this style in their work to support their vision. Usually they have been for cases about mental health such as MIASMA VIDA, which talks about depression or XUNGLERO, a musical theme based on sounds recorded from a jungle. In them there is not only a simple image, but also stories to tell. As in A CHAIR AT THE BACKDOOR, through listening to the music of that album, I had to create for myself both a visual and narrative concept.
For the collages I resort to royalty-free images, for commercial use or of my own authorship. And depending on the project, without known copyright restrictions or given by the author of those photographs. The basis of the design of a collage is a portrait, whose photographs are usually old and if they are not, I convert them directly into black and white with its different shades. In general I don't usually use very saturated colors, except if there is a theme that asks for it. But I try to use more pastel tones.
In short, through the collage I can design the concepts and ideas that the person wants to transmit or teach.
