Week 3
My photography is inspired by the photographers Lee Gyuyeon and Antoine Henault, who I studied this week
Week 3 workshop
we focused on three photography techniques:
Classic headshot with shallow depth of field [bokeh]:
This technique involves capturing a traditional headshot with a shallow depth of field, creating a pleasing background blur known as bokeh. Factors such as lighting, focal length, camera-to-subject distance, and f-stop decisions were considered to achieve the desired effect. The framing of the shot focused on the subject's face.
Half-body or full-length portrait framing:
This technique involved photographing subjects in half-body or full-length portraits, paying attention to lighting, focal length, camera-to-subject distance, and f-stop decisions. The goal was to capture the subject's entire body while maintaining a pleasing composition. Portrait framing was utilized to emphasize the subject.
Wide-angle environmental portrait genre:
This technique involved using a wide-angle lens to capture environmental portraits, incorporating the surrounding landscape into the composition. Factors such as lighting, focal length, and framing decisions were crucial in this genre to convey the subject's relationship with their environment. Landscape framing was utilized to showcase the subject within their surroundings.

'Migrant Mother, Nipomo, California' (1936)
The video highlights the profound impact of photography as a medium for storytelling and emotional connection. Dorothea Lange's iconic photograph "Migrant Mother, Nipomo, California" exemplifies this power. Capturing the hardship and resilience of the Great Depression era, the image resonates with viewers on a deeply human level.
Lange's composition skillfully conveys the mother's strength and vulnerability, as well as the plight of migrant workers during that tumultuous time. The lighting and framing draw attention to the mother's weary yet determined expression, inviting empathy and understanding from the viewer.
Just as Teju Cole discusses the importance of capturing moments that are "washed with presence, with light," Lange's photograph encapsulates a moment of raw emotion and quiet dignity. It serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by countless families during the Great Depression, while also celebrating the resilience and spirit of the human condition.
In essence, "Migrant Mother" is a testament to the enduring power of photography to evoke empathy, spark conversation, and illuminate the human experience across time and space.
Photographers 7 Ilona Bankevich
Her photographs give me a sense of hazy and cold atmosphere, giving the viewer a sense of cold detachment, she is very good at using natural light and shadow to breathe life into her photographs, and make the viewer feel the emotion in her works through the characters and the environment.
Photographers 8 Lee gyuyeon
This photographer from South Korea's photography has a sense of atmosphere and storytelling that allows the viewer to feel the emotions behind the characters, and uses simple scenes but can bring out the sense of storytelling.
Photographers 9 Antoine Henault
She specializes in film photography, and her shots have rich colors that can make viewers feel the romantic French style, with shots that are rich in color and as intense as oil paintings.

Nobody really knows what drives us to do the things we do. What is the source of your desires? What is the stuff that dreams are made of? Where do fantasies emerge from? But more importantly, where do they go? Do they transform into naughty ideas or maybe they materialize into blissful acts of lust and pleasure? Both are satisfying, and both are good. The mind is limitless and there is no judgement in this safe space.
Just like your unconscious is hidden but essential, covered but influential, so are the things you hide tight to your skin. What you wear under that shell of clothes, only to be revealed to your bathroom mirror or the glistering eyes of your partner in crime is your secret statement in a world of mainstream and shallowness. What you hide is what you truly are. What you cover is what you want to be seen.
Now let's peel off that second skin and free yourself from the corset of good manners.
