Exhibition and sound

Image
I would like to incooperate sound with my photogrpahy exhibition, because I always liked when going to a gallery and looking at paitings or scoulptures and in the same time being able to hear a music that goes side to side with what I am seeing. We are used to hear things as well as see them. Sometimes we close our eyes, but the sound is still there. It is such an important part of our lives. It draws paitings in our minds and gives meaning to anything that we can see along its side. I really like the idea of bringing my art to life. More than anything, I want my art to move people and make them think about it to find their own meanings and to make them think even about very different thigns, but I want it to be caused by my art. The way in which I can make it more human, more palpable is the sound. When they will look at my photogrpahs, I want them to hear what I've heard and imagine what I felt at that moment.  I thought that I could go to those places and only record the s...

The photogrpahs of people with cancer

Nancy Borowick (1985)  https://www.lensculture.com/articles/nancy-borowick-cancer-family#slideshow When both her parents were diagnosed with cancer, Borowick wanted to spend as much time with them as it was possible. She was taking photos of them so she could remember all the memories; good or bad.  She was with them almost all the time. That way they stopped noticing her taking photos. Therefore she was able to capture their honest life and reactions, and their battle with cancer.  When editing photos Borowick learned about their parents as husband and wife. She learned about their relationship and ways in which they were supporting each other.  The photographs are very moving. Some of them keep everything in focus, such as the ones in the hospital room to show where they both are and what is happening to them. Other ones have a low depth of field, so we only focus on the subject. The photograph of them cuddling is one of them. It feels very perso...

Street Photography

Street photography "is probably best explained as an opportunistic moment in which a photographer captures a candid public scene in front of him. " "In order for a street photo to be genuine, it has to feature an unopposed situation within a public place, regardless of where that place may be." Street photography is described as the most honest kind of photography due to its rule of capturing unaware subjects and unedited photos. However many iconic street photographers broke that rule, which makes the genre with plenty of room for experimentation and creativism.  The idea behind capturing unaware subject, makes the genre play around the time. The photographer must capture the perfect moment due to present an unique picture of someone's reality. The street fashion is strictly describing photos taken in urban areas. Landscapes and sunsets are not considered a part of street photography. On the other hand there is 100% of a freedom towards the angles and leng...

He photographed show-goers before a show and it went completely viral. “we’ve loved street style, we’ve hated it, we’ve loved to hate it, and we’ve hated to love it.”  - https://www.vogue.com/article/oral-history-modern-street-style Those photographs felt very much planned. They did not show the captured moment in time. In contrast Bill Cunningham   (1929-2016) in 1978 photographed  Greta Garbo, not knowing that she was a famous actress. He brought the photo in...
