""The whole photo shoot looks incredibly clumsy, since I'm not a photographer. It's more of a means to an end and my least favorite part of the process.""
""Every photo Uldalen will use in a painting goes through Photoshop. He cuts up the photographs, sometimes pasting pieces into other images.""
""But, that's only to challenge myself. I want the character in the painting to look like the model.""
Uldalen primarily works with friends for modeling sessions, focusing on poses and adjustments during shoots. He admits to lacking photography skills, viewing it as a means to an end. The photos serve as seeds for his paintings, where mood takes precedence over accurate representation. Uldalen extensively uses Photoshop to manipulate images, altering colors and positions to achieve a dreamy quality. He aims for the character in his paintings to resemble the model, challenging himself in the process. Uldalen is a self-taught artist who has been drawing since childhood.
