Final Portrait

Interludes from city life

A passport for the journey

" A camera is a license to explore on your own terms. It provides a shield of protection, a mandate, a reason for being at a place, for looking, for participating. In normal life you are not supposed to talk to strangers, or get too close to them, or stare. The camera affords freedom from social prohibitions, and is a passport for the journey." - Laura Greenfield

Contemporaty Quotes

" When it's good, then, art is not a decoration or a possession but a powerful means of understanding. And the idea that we might recognize what's good in art and understand how it does its work - that's surely a thought worth following. How much more interesting is this thing that operates to get us out beyond what we know, out where we can begin to encompass life and the universe, being and becoming." -Sean Kernan

Beatha

Quotes from the greats

" If the photographer suceeds in reflecting the exterior as well as interior world, his subject appears as ' in real life'. In order to achieve this, the photographer must respect the mood, become integrated into the environment, avoid all the tricks that destroy human truth, and also make the subject of the photo forget the camera and the person using it. " - Henri Cartier-Bresson

Digital Dream

Final Concept Shot

A day in the life of a photography student: This shot is the final result of a creative process consisting of web research, planning a project concept, doing a trial shoot, self-evaluation, peer evaluation and teacher evaluation. After the first evaluation, another concept is produced based on the initial try and any ideas that may have evolved out of that, as well as suggestions from teacher/classmates. The final shot could be very similar or look totally different than your original idea, but it is all linked together in the process of executing your idea.
