Myra
Gonçalves is an example originating from
GEF - Group Experimental of Picture - done at the
Photography Center of FABICO/UFRGS. Myra in just
six months in these workshops stood out through
her images, which granted her the invitation to
take part of the team of the Photography Center,
where she is now a trainee of the research group
in experimental photography (photochemistry/fine
arts). Myra is a visual arts artist, and now is
to master graduated in fine-arts at the Arts Institute
- IA/UFRGS, but she is a professional photographer
for more than eleven years, being recognized as
an "expert" in theater and dance photography.

in black color-and-white, papers in colors still
not used, beyond banns bleaching of color photograph
processes, they had been some of the elements or
that Myra Gonçalves is currently using in
its experimentations in photographic atelier. The
photographic essay Hand-Made, Myra in them presents
a model of experimental method for the development
of authorial works in photograph, where really the
photographer intervenes, he transforms, he reconstructs
and he defines the image, where the resultant is
definitively its signature. Carried through without
the use of a camera, the images of the pictures
that compose the essay Hand-Made, had been made
from personages of teaters parts, previously photographed
for Myra Gonçalves. according to author,
these eight images are as a skeleton or the initial
base of a figure in phase of initial of a hypothetical
final form, that it, through its interferences and
manipulations on photographic papers, looks for
in them to transmit a little of atmospheres, chromatic
densities and expressions lived deeply or for it
caught and sensible, in relation to some personages
whom it photographed.
