Sebatião Salgado movie

I have to be honest and say that I cried watching the movie. Is a wonderful movie and in it you can see how his photography evolves at the same time that he does, it is not always the same and that is something that made me think about my own practice and how it changes as I learn new techniques and skills. It was a really good movie to watch.

Work experience with The Ocean Corner

Since the beginning of 2016 I have been doing some work for The Ocean Corner shooting their designs for the website an for their promotions. Here are some pictures of the work I have done.

Interview techniques

Before we did our interview with a practitioner we had a practical class in which we practice how to interview someone between each other. It was really helpful because we learned how to connect questions to the answers given and also know haw to ask new things when some of the questions we wanted to ask are turned down. It was really helpful for me. 

Clara Copley Lecture

Clara's lecture was very interesting. She told us that we don't need to wait for things to come at us, is us who need to look for them.

She also give us a workshop on how to use the action frequency separation on photoshop, it was very interesting because I had never used it before and I thought it would be useful for me in the future.

Doom More Lecture

When Doom came to talk to us he give us a lithe workshop on how to use the correct focal length. We set up two flash with softbox in the back lighting the back of the subject and put a beauty dish in the front. The camera was set down the beauty dish. We started taking portraits with different focal length to see how it affects the image. At the end we got the chance to try a ring flash and see how it works.

It was very good.

Underwater

 The underwater workshop was very interesting. The first day it was difficult for me to stay put under the water, but it was really interesting trying all the different cameras and equipment. It was an awesome experience and if it is made again I will try it for sure.Here are some of the pictures I toke.

London Symposium

On the 23rd and 24th of January we got a series of lectures in London by different practitioners, fine arts and commercial ones.

During the two days I tried to learn from their experience, there were some lectures that I wasn't to much interested in but that wasn't because they were boring it was simply because it wasn't in what I am interested. 

The Lecturers didn't just talk about their job but they also give us advice in how the industry is right now. I have to admit that the first day I got really depressed, there was a moment that I didn't like any on my pictures but later everything was fine.
