I talked to Brian (my tutor) about my concept and what I had came up so far. I was struggling with finding Ideas to represent what kind of message I want to send across. The challenge was taking the social aspect idea out from real-life to a studio. Brian Suggested to try thinking about my core concept again. In…

Inspiration: Gregory Crewdson
I randomly googles Gregory Crewdson when Brian told us about him when he was lecturing about photo essays, and I immediately loved his pictures. (From Wikipedia) born in Brooklyn, His photos are artistically unique that it looks like a movie screen-capture. The cinematic quality & style of his picture is done with extensive measure with lighting, composition, and editing. It just looks beautiful. He uses crew members and lots of equipment, but the result is worth the hassle. Most of his pictures remind me of the show “Stranger Things” and “The OA”. Here are some of his pictures (I even used it as my wallpaper):
Inspiration: Dapper Lou
Louge Delcy, An American photographer that has been one of my favourite ever since I came across of his work for the Swatch company. Not only do I love his high-quality photo, I love how he plays with powerful contrast colours, that only strengthes every aspect of the picture, with eveyr elements standing out on its own. This picture below may be one of my favorite photos of him. The pattern just seamlessly connect with each other. it’s brilliant

Further practice for Projec Brief 1
Within the second week of the Month/Semester, Brian allowed the class to experiment and find our styles of photograhy by sending us around the CBD to practice using manual setting in a camera, whether it is from a DSLR or from your everyday-smartphone. It was a super-bright and sunny day, what a coincidence. I had the opportunity to check around A’beckett street. After 1 hour of sight-seeing and picture-taking, I went back with the others to check on the photos and saved it in the shared class folder.
3 days after Tuesday we had our second class. Project Brief 1 was due, which everyone in the class had to present a photographer/visual artist that inspired them. For mine I chose Duane Michals, an American photographer whose work I find very attractive.
He is the person first known for his Photo-sequences, mini movies that entails a narrative around love, mortality, sexuality, life & celebration of youth. He also likes to put his handwriting as an extension of his picture to give more context and background he believes the picture alone can not tell you. He doesn’t believe that “a picture speaks a thousand words”. Because you can only learn so much from a photo.
I love how Duane likes to break the rules, since he doesn’t know that there is a rule. He does what his mind provoked him to do, and let his emotion lead the creative process of his work. While often criticized, it only inspires him more to continue his work.
Inspiration: David Uzochukwu
Let me get this straight. He’s 18 and he’s already a professional photographer.
He started taking photographs when he is 10. as time progress his photography style morphed into a dark-fantasy-surreal-dreamy. my favourite. Added by the high-quality of the photos, he succeeded to create beautiful images that promote human beauty. What I personally loved about his photographs is the colour. It’s a little dis-saturated and greyish. But most photographers like him is suffering from some emotional-distress, hence the same sensation you get from his images. Here are more of his pictures. Enjoy.

Photography 101 assignment
I am a photography enthusiast, though I am still hoping to be able to be a professional, right now I am more focused toward my major that is Media communication.
An unpredicted idea spring always gives the best kind of work, that is why I love serendipity. But whether or not serendipity exist, you should not lean your back towards it.
I have a big passion towards photography. I focus especially in portraiture, because I find every person to be very complex. But with my photographs I want to share emotions from my perspective. I am very inspired by Evan Atwood, Rachel Bran , Kylie Thompson, Brendon Burton and any other similar photographers. I’ll try to give you the best photos can explain my sight
