Who

Ondrea Barbe shares her portfolio and insight into it in a 2003 PDN Magazine Emerging Artist series article.  She describes how her website www.OndreaBarbe.com portfolio is updated “2 to 3” ^[2] times monthly.  With the website and article we learn Ondrea’s contemporary fashion photography style began in 1996 and continues today.

Where

Ondrea bounced between California and France where her career breakthrough came when her contest winning exhibit “The Soul” displayed in the Nice, France’s Museum of Modern Art.  She worked as a freelance photo editor and Creative Director to pay New York City rent when no one would hire her as a photographer. The editing experience honed her shooting skills.  New York remains her main current residence as an established photographer.

Technology

Barbe learned the “process of photography” ^[2] in a Nice, France black-and-white film lab.  Use of photograms, double exposure and superimposed images tailored her seminal work with a headless, armless mannequin as “The Soul”.  Ondrea’s work progresses through color film, to digital photo and digital video (film).  She’s observed using a high end digital Canon SLR camera in some films of her personal work.  Her commercial photos reflect brightly lit well equipped studios.  The images also demonstrate fast, sharp lenses along with fine resolution captures.

The stills used in “City of Fun Shows” ^[5] look like video captures taken from the filming.  Some grainy ^[10], low light images remain in her portfolio, but mostly a well polished commercial repertoire finishes the exposed exterior.

Cultural Context

Born in 1970, Ondrea cultured in both an East and West Coast U.S. heritage along with French European influences.  She’s embraced New York City along with its Museums and scenes.  Her financial support of the International Center of Photography ^[9] demonstrates an interest in furthering the education and expansion of an art she engages in commercially and personally.

Effect on Culture

Barbe became the “go to” gal for sensual, seductive and “Sex in the City” ^[12] celebrity scenes. Commercially she studied many of the best up and coming Magazine mentors as an editor and director.  With that knowledge she advances the skills in framing Makeup and highlighting shadows.  Her engaging photo shoot approach develops and captures an image of celebratory fun and sensation that reflect interaction.

Work Samples

With sharp shadows and guiding highlights, Ondrea Barbe guides us through a path.  She shows the eyes, lips and flowers along with their reason to be seen.

Froat Free, Fry Frast!

Froat Free, Fry Frast (Float Free, Fry Fast) - Ocean to Ocean Hi - Yuma, Arizona

Noise Passby Backup Driver

I wish that coyote would quit tripping the photocells!

Rob Trudell smokes the SSR tires in reverse as he drives backward through the microphones during a Noise Test at the GM Desert Proving Ground in Mesa, Arizona.  The Superstition Mountains sit in the background as a hawk flys overhead along with a F-15C Eagle. Wildlife surrounds the scene with a pair of quail, a rattlesnake and coyote enjoy the relative isolation provided by the fenced desert oasis.

Conceptual Design sketches for attracting Yuma Tourists

Conceptual Drawings

9.8 Miles from the Center of the World, Yuma’s heart beats with more attractions than just those nearby.  Ride a Territorial Prisoner Chain-gang crawling though our desert dunes.  Wear a stylish Sahara Hat on the striped criminal’s back while the Territorial guard treks the safari through soft Mohave sands.

If our earthquakes don’t rock your world, the bargain basement Main Street Antique shopping deals sure will! $Dirt Cheap$ prices reap rewards in this town.  Go green in the fields of Yuma where more than lettuce is found.
