TIAPB photographers Tamar, Ryan, Wesley, and Dan will have work in the MOPLA closing event, “Pro’jekt LA- Sound/City Scapes” on April 30th. Each photographer selected a different area of Los Angeles to photograph. Each set of photos will be projected and displayed, along with a specially curated musical selection by a KCRW DJ. It should be awesome! Please see flyer below for more info (click to enlarge). We hope to see you there!
Revelation Is More Perilous Than Revolution – A production take on Loud, in collaboration with Artist Michelle Jane Lee. I originally wanted to do a totally obnoxious set with all color squares and then I remember looking at Michelle’s work at an artshow in the Brewery. I then approached her to work directly with me in a set collaboration, she agreed. In Michelle’s work all of her colored squares represent letters of the alphabet.

This was our Captain as we step foot onto the over night junk boat.
Shoot this in Detroit on a road trip with my Dad. These classic cars reminded me of a Sears parking lot straight out of the sixties.
A portrait of a the band Eating Faces. This shot showcases the craziness that is the percussion and sound of the band. This angle was Initially concepted by Collins Schude, the drummer. We took it to the next level by squeezing all the accessories and equipment into very tight frame. I then shot from the balcony down 4 stories with a telephoto lens.
For this assignment I decided to shoot some 4X5 film. Its not my typical style to shoot 4X5 and natural light but I think this strait photography compliments my choice in subject well. These archers I found are using composite bow which is one of the older and more challenging types of archery. Anything to produced wouldn’t tell the story the same, I even found the sun to feel too hard and abrasive.
I actually shot this assignment twice. The first attempt didn’t quite make it for me and I new I could get better, more emoting shots, even with the bulky 4X5. Going back to the range I brought two of the pictures from the first shoot. Everyone there was really excited to see them physically. By bringing the prints the Archers where excited to get photographed and motivated to contribute in the shoot. I made a decent group shot and then asked if any one wanted singles. This man agreed (his name escapes me, but I’ll get it) and we spent some minuets getting this amazing portrait right after the sun ducked beyond the valley wall. Photographed on fuji velvia RVP rated at 25, I decided to opt into the 15th of a sec instead of paying the crazy 4 dollar push fee.
heres one from the first shoot.
Please let me know if you want one I would be more than happy to mail it out. Cheers
