Ultimate Winter League Week 4

my club's organizing the winter league (i know i know, there's no winter, but it's for the name's sake) for singapore ultimate and i see a lot of potential action shots to be taken during these 13 weeks of ultimate games. brought my camera out for a run with a 70-200mm f4 and it was a great day to shoot with great light from the sun less a few moments of overcast.

Faceless

was thinking about one of my previous shots on the conceptual photo essay and i came up with an idea for my retake for our photo exhibition in february.

the concept of the shoot would be "Faceless":

in a society where people are slaves to their job and stuck with mundane routines in life, some people lose themselves and their identity at that. these people try to stand out and get recognized in everyday life. they try to outdo themselves in order to obtain recognition. but will it work?

the idea is to use a white jabbawockeez mask to depict the loss of identity of the subjects in the series of photos picturing them in crowds and attempting to stand out.

i've got this idea of making the whole concept into an art installation but it's really just a crazy idea as of now. need to get the photos out first before i can do anything. time to start experimenting with using light reflectors outdoors to get better pictures.

Assignment 6: Photo Essay (version 1)

assignment 6 required us to do a conceptual photo essay. so i was thinking that in our everyday lives, there are certain actions that we do in one situation might mean another thing in another situation.

my concept here is the spread eagle. we often find ourselves in this position but rarely notice that we're actually doing it.

so here's what you'll do with in a spread eagle position:

chin ups


jumping for joy


doing a handstand


trying to stop yourself from falling off stairs


getting mugged by another person


and finally... being dead drunk

comments were that the pictures didn't really significantly show the spread eagle positions. looks like it's back to the drawing board and think of more obvious positions :)

Assignment 5: Abandoned, Solitary, Disorder, Desolated

assignment 5 requires us to express certain adjectives without invoking "human expressions". took some photos over the weekend thought some of these photos were appropriate for the following adjectives:

Abandoned, Solitary, Disorder and Desolated.

abandoned


solitary


mess & desolated

Hong Kong - The Urban Jungle
