Blog 14
Even though I'm in the middle of painting (update pic below), I keep looking at photography. It just interests me more I guess. Anyway, I found this artist who experiments with light in photography (AKA light painting) and I love playing with shutter speed and light. His name is Bruno Mesrine, he's French, and here are a couple of examples of his photography. I tried to look into some of his biographies but they were entirely in French an and a little hard to read. From what I can tell, he takes a lot of pictures in France of different monuments and buildings and either spells words with light or edits different pictures on top of each other, which is partly what I am hoping to do soon. I also have some pictures that I might use as a breadth piece that are similar to this style. (One of them is the background on my blog)

ReplyDeleteJenna,
ReplyDeleteI did not realize this was your image on the homepage. Very nice. You definitely need to keep taking these and playing w the shutter speed and light. Did you try to have the sites you looked at on Merino translated in English? P.S. I like this artists work. Also, other artists you might take a look at Robert Irwin. Lawrence Weschler wrote a book that is an excellent read about the life and practice of Irwin, Seeing Is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees. I think that you would like this. I have a copy I can loan you. Also, James Turrell is interesting. Both conceptual and deal with light/perception.
