Windows have been confirmed. Debbie holds key. I will get the keys from her closer to the date.

Francis has mentioned window props, that I will need to get from Jewellery. 

What's next: 

Go and see what the props are. 

Get size of windows 

And whole project

Jay Giampietro

Techniques:

Take photos from his ear. So like he's pretending to talk on the phone, when actually he is taking a pic. He uses his iPhone, which is something I will not be doing.

His photographs are explicit. and the people he takes photographs of are expressive..in their own way. But these candids are very candid.

I thought the idea of him faking a call to take a photo was pretty interesting.

Will not be doing thing technique.

Like an earlier photo I have taken.

With Yanah and Ken at Fresh Gallery.

 

Love the realness of these photographs. All his photographs actually.

The focus and sharpness of his photographs are just..yum. Got me craving ice cream from how glossy these photographs are. 

http://ludiquemag.com/issues/16/vincent_chapters/ <<< Good questions in an interview with Vincent Chapters. 

Mentions in link:

how he started, being in London, inspirations, style of work, editing, and where his name came from. 

Pictures on blogger laid out like this, just because. (Blogger bring tricky)

David Luraschi

• Photographs taken on his iPhone. Which is another photographer I have researched on; that use iPhones to take their photographs.
• "Characters...either defined by their personality, by their costume or by their attitude." -said by him
• He has been photographing people since the mid-2000s but wasn't until iPhone tech developed that it allowed him to shoot more low-key and made sense to his practice. "You can get away with much more, I think."

Comparing to a photograph I have taken. (for this project)

http://www.itsnicethat.com/features/david-luraschi-new-york <<< (Referencing kind of thing, why I add(ed) link) 

Just read the first 5 paragraphs by the way.

But this link just talks about these sets of photos. And how being in New York is different from being at home, Paris.

He's a Paris based photographer.

Brad Ogbonna

But of course, a shot full of people photograph.

I should try go out into the city and...jookes, just remembered I'm doing Otara. Just take a long/wide shot in Otara, I guess. Actually, Otara markets. Yes, @ the markets. 

New Idea: TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS AT OTARA MARKETS (should've thought of this earlier)

Sleek

 I love the shallow DOF of this photo. 
And that haiiirrr. 
The smoke also gives it a nice look.
The glasses also make a difference. 

I should take more photographs of empty spaces out in Otara too. Maybe things that make Otara, I guess. Like Ika. 

Although I feel like I wouldn't use them to put out in the windows. 

So this would be when I go out and take night shoots. The emptiness I will be capturing. 




What to do/photograph ideas:
Go around and have a look around Otara and night. Take camera.
Take heaps of photographs. 
Maybe those at the bus stop would be nice. So park across the road from the town centre bus stop maybe? 
Take some photos of the neon shops signs and everything captivating.

Photographs in Cuba <<< Just a link talking about his works in Cuba. Colour and other stuff.
(That link is just how I found this artist)

Reviewing my photographs

I liked the 2 trees at the end of the fence. If only you couldn't see the house and the grass. It would have a more spacey feel to it.
Traffic Light: This photo looks like I've crossed the road at a time I shouldn't have but actually the man turned red before I could take it.

Distractions going on in this picture:

• Rubbish bin
• The maroon jumper
• I don't like the angle, nor the composition. 
• I think I took a photo of this person, for the sake of taking a 'candid photograph'.
• When I took this photo I was still kinda practicing going out and taking photos in public kinda thing. 

...Because he's on the phone.

Same man. just in front of different buildings. Which as I review back gives me an idea for future pictures. (Same thing different environment?)

I was kinda rushing when I took this photo.

Things I would do differently:

• Zoomed in more.
• Take more shots. 
• Kept the sign out of the frame.  
• IN FOCUS!

I saw these 2 kids in the car playing. I wish I stopped and took a photo from the passenger window, which was opened. There were people coming so I didn't want to like stop and take a picture.
