Jude Liana

 

Self Portrait of Jude Liana

• Jude is a photographer, model and poet based in New York City, who makes raw art and writes about real life stuff. 
• She takes candid film images of friends and landscapes. 
• Started taking photos when she was 11, but took it more serious around 18. 
• Got accepted into International Center of Photography at 16.
• She is into document and narrative photography.

_________________________________________________________________________

• Jude's photographs are strong and raw. 
• I want to be able to take shots like this when I'm out. To add a subject that shows a lot in a photograph (if that even makes sense) for e.g the first picture shown, you can see the post 'police line do not cross' in the shot. Showing her on one side and the others on the other side of this post. 
• I like that fact the her photographs are film photography. It gives it a nice look. 

I need to be able to go out and photograph candids out in the street. I worry about their reactions but exploring and doing this will be something I would want to carry on doing.

I want to learn how to develop my own photographs when using film photography. That would be something I will need to research more into in my spare time.

points after reading the article/what I thought after reading this:

To keep shooting, from left to right. Things that capture your eye.

Travelling around for projects. she sets out projects which is inspiring.

To have a main focus in your photographs. What kind of photograph will I be. What type of photographs do I take.

Raymond Sagapolutele

Self Portrait of Raymond Sagapolutele

• Manurewa photographer who takes photographs of open public spaces, based in South Auckland
• Refers to himself as 'brotographer' because he's always saying "bro". He says, "It's a term I use to describe myself, not a reference to the subject matter I shoot."
• He first started taking photographs of landscapes but realised every other photographer was doing the same thing. 
• He takes photographs around South Auckland. Instead of taking the typical South Auckland shots, he would take photographs of people and places with a refreshing perspective, based in South Auckland. 

Fresh Gallery

• I like that the children are sitting there drawing and you're able to see the drawings on the wall. 
• Having it in black and white is interesting.

Otara

• A few photographs taken by Raymond in Otara that I like.
• The photograph that's in black and white is the one I like the most. (Out of the two that I have chosen) It gives it that emptiness to the photo than it would, if it was in colour. Like it would be too much in colour.
• The photograph shown in colour must of been edited to make the colours stand out more.

TUNE to Don’t worry be happy

wop wop dobi do  (Be happy)

wop wop dobi do  (Be happy)

wop wop dobi do  (Be happy)

Photographic technologies is where it’s at

Don't worry, be happy

Chorus

Dobi dobi wop wop (Don’t worry be happy now)

do wop dobi wop dobidobi wopwop dobido  (Don’t worry)

Dobi dobi wop wop (Don’t worry be happy now)

Verse 2

(rap)

We’re keeping this short, cause our time is tight

Working day, night and weekends just to get it all right

Makes you wonder if whats ya doin is worth this crap

Dobi dobi wop wop (Don’t worry be happy now)

Vinesh Kumaran

Self Portrait of Vinesh Kumaran

• Born and raised in the small rural town of Ba, Fiji and the South Auckland suburb of Mangere, New Zealand.

• Four years at art school gave Vinesh a strong perspective into photography as well as respect for portraiture. 

• After graduating he moved into the world of commercial photography learning with every opportunity. 

• Vinesh has relationships within the arts and cultural sectors in South Auckland, which has given a number of opportunities to explore and develop his portraiture portfolio. From promotional to editorial and gallery-based photography, Vinesh treats portraiture as a collaboration ultimately capturing a moment of connection.

The colours in the photograph stand out to me the most, especially his orange jacket. 

Although the colours stand out they aren't over powering the photograph.

I love the effect the lighting from the top back window shines throughout the photograph. 

Having the subject placed at the end of the seat so that the isle is shown from the door (as you enter) to where she is, is what I also like about this photograph. It gives me a welcoming feeling, especially if walking into a church.

_________________________________________________________________________

• I like how Vinesh Kumaran has positioned the people in the photographs. Placing them in the centre of the frame. 

• I like how you're able to see their surroundings, so you know where they are and a sense of who they are.
• Photographs are landscape.
• Photographs are self portraits.

Vantage Point: Subject is looking straight into the camera giving the photograph belonging. The place they are in is theirs and sacred to them. 

If I was going to do portraits of people from Otara:

Who would I photograph? Would they be artist who stay in Otara or who were from Otara. Would I photograph The shop owner? Busker? Hustler? Window Washer? A student in uniform eating a pie etc.

I have researched Vinesh Kumaran because he is based in South Auckland.

PRESENTATION notes

things that we are looking at. so skills on what we are going to do to our later result.
what were going to make why and how

she wants to see research to see what we're doing.

What colours I used
like explain what my photographs are gonna be
so i could show photographs and talk about why i like it, angles, edits etc. thats talking about skills.

it will always be about the Otara photographs
how we going to do it and how

with our presentations. we not presenting finished work

its about what we are going to do
about the research we are doing for our work
for example say we doing movie posters

then what i will do is show research around the posters
might like some type of poster like action so il would show that

what they do to make the poster, breaking it down
then say how i will do it based on like Rambo for example

we should be planning on how it will be done and how it will be done
skills we have to learn to make the posters

stuff i can say
try different angles
that i want to add people into the photograph than just the empty spaces. although when i do add the person it will have some empty sense in it.

each slide in one point
i can speak about how the artist is doing the same thing i am doing but don't want to do it the way he is doing. So i can say i'm doing street art like someone in LA but doing it in Otara instead.

Interested in dancing

But what i'm interested in is video clips

Ive been looking at *name artists*

This is my research

I notice they do colour, movement, urban scenes. So for my end would be a video. Il show it on youtube. il do it on south auckland. (something she said about shooting it different or somewhere else)
