Andrea LaBarge Mills – Self Portrait

Andrea LaBarge Mills — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:22:32 +0000

I really kind of dreaded doing this assignment, because it’s a huge challenge to see what the camera sees from in front of it. So it was funny to me in retrospect that I chose to do a double exposure – as if a single shot wasn’t bad enough! But in looking at the work of my fellow TIAPB contributors, I really loved Alexa Miller’s fashion work with multiple images, so I had to go where inspiration took me. Here are some of the images that informed my self portrait:

Alan Gastelum- Self Portrait

I have always been a fan of Ryan Schude’s photography, especially his multi person landscapes, mostly found in his book “one” on his website. I was specifically inspired by the smoke within a few of those images and I wanted to experiment with smoke more. Thanks Ryan for the inspiration!

Tamar Levine- Self-Portrait

For my self-portrait I used Jennie Warren’s photography as inspiration. She always uses really fun colors and interesting angles, sometimes getting very close to the subject. This was a verrrry challenging assignment for me!

Manjari Sharma in Group show Sultry II Art Hampton’s 52 Editions

manjari — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 05:09:29 +0000

Recently my work was shown at the Art Hampton’s 2010 art fair. The following day a group show titled Sultry II opened in Brooklyn that included my work as well. Both events were quite well received. If you happen to swing through Brooklyn anytime until August 14 please stop in if you get the chance at Kris Graves Projects in Dumbo. Sultry II will still be up! I am attaching an invite and here is a recent entry on my blog with some pictures of the show and tell from the opening nights to both events.

Also one of my images that was selected by 52 Editions is now available as a limited editioned print for purchase. Please click here to view it! Here is the image for your viewing pleasure.

Manjari Sharma, Self-Portrait

I am not one to usually take self portraits so I tried a hand at something that allowed me to somehow hide but still be a dominant part of the image. I was inspired by Alan Gastelum’s color sensibility for my palette choice.
