Photographer Uses Stones as His Canvas for Portrait Photo Prints

Photographer Uses Stones as His Canvas for Portrait Photo Prints


"Why rock instead of paper, canvas, tin cans, or film canisters? Kalmar says he wanted to focus on the theme of “identity”:
Identity has always been a human need. We identify ourselves even without knowing it, our clothes, hairstyle, language speaks for itself, they show where we belong. I think a person has many identities, but there is a core where these statuses come from, which can not be explained by single words. The stone is one of the most ancient materials of the earth, and have always been used by people to express themselves, from rock painting to contemporary sculptures. Every stone is unique, it forms slowly by the power of nature, just as our core identity does and it also has a story just as we have.
You can find these rock prints and a larger selection of Kalmar’s work on his website
