Brighton Photo Fringe & Photo Biennial

Brighton is one of my favourite places in England. I think the last time I was there was two years ago, so it's time to go there again. Tomorrow we're going to see Brighton Photo Fringe and Photo Biennial exhibitions. I picked up my favourites from their websites:


The Light at the End of the World by Rob Macdonald

Rob Macdonald has images of Tokyo, Shanghai and Hong Kong in his exhibition - paired with a show in Shoreditch. He has a great way of capturing light in his images for example in the series 'The Light Thief'.

Delicate Threads by Tess Zahn

This exhibition captures the delicate shadow of a sentimental piece of cloth. Tess Zahn explores the detail and texture of the fabric using a traditional dark room technique, The Photogram.

Because I Cannot See by Tom Pullen

'Because I Cannot See' is an exhibition that engages people with a sensory experience. It is a photography exhibition that can be also fully experienced by the visually impaired since the exhibition includes 3D tactile portraits alongside traditional photographic prints.

Brighton on yksi lempipaikoistani Englannissa. Noin kaksi vuotta sitten kävin siellä edellisen kerran, joten nyt on taas aika käväistä siellä uudelleen. Huomenna menemme tutustumaan Brighton Photo Fringe ja Photo Biennial näyttelyihin. Poimin muutaman suosikkini tapahtumien nettisivulta ks. kuvat yllä. 

Sarjisfestareilla kuvaustiimissä – Photographing at the Helsinki Comics Festival

Törmäsin pari viikkoa sitten yhteen kaveriin raitiovaunussa ja hän kysäisi, jos tulisin kuvaustiimiin sarjakuvafestareille. Mietin sitä jonkin aikaa, koska oli kaikenlaista muuttokiirettä yms. meneillään, mutta päätin kuitenkin lähteä mukaan, koska tehtävä kuulosti kiinnostavalta. Varsinkin perjantaina olin ihan fiiliksissä, koska festareilla oli niin mukavaa. Kuvittajat ja sarjakuvapiirtäjät ovat rentoa ja huumorintajuista porukkaa, ja sääkin oli mitä ihanin. Sain parin päivän aikana lisää sujuvuutta omaan kuvaamiseen, opin editoimaan nopeasti omia kuviani ja säätämään valotusta ehkä hiukan paremmin, koska monesti valaistusolosuhteet olivat kohteissa aika vaativia. Lisää kuvia sarjakuvafestareiden sivuilla.

I met a friend recently in a tram and he asked if I wanted to be part of a photography team at the Helsinki Comics Festival. I wasn't sure at first because I was moving out of my flat etc. that kept me busy, but in the end I said yes. It sounded interesting opportunity to get to learn new things. On Friday I was really excited cos I had so much fun. Illustrators and comic artists were laid back people and they had good sense of humor. The weather was also very lovely. In these couple of days I learned to make my work flow more fluent, edit my photos quickly and adjust the lighting little bit better because the lighting conditions were often quite difficult.
