  • Street Photography Project Guide

    Street Photography Project Guide

    The Street Photography Project Manual by Eric Kim When I first started shooting street photography, I was very much focused on “single images”. Meaning– I wanted to make these beautiful images (like pearls) that would get a lot of favorites/likes on social media. I wanted each photograph to be perfect, and stand on its own. However after a while shooting these single-images became a bit boring. I felt photography became a way for me to produce “one-hit-wonders” – which didn’t have that much meaning, soul, and personal significance. In trying to find more “meaning” in my photography– I started to study photography books, learning from the masters, and how they were able to craft stories that had a narrative and personal significance. Soon I discovered that I was much more interested in pursuing photography projects– projects that would often take a long time (several years), would require meticulous editing (choosing images) and sequencing, and were personal to me. I wanted to create this book to be a starting guide and a primer in terms of starting your own street photography project. I will try to make this as comprehensive as possible, while still being practical. Here is an overview of some of the chapters I will like to cover: Chapter 1: Why pursue a street photography project? Chapter 2: What makes a great photography project? Chapter 3: How to come up with a street photography project idea? Chapter 4: How to stay motivated when pursuing your photography project Chapter 5: How to edit/sequence your photography project Chapter 6: How to publish your photography project Chapter 7: Conclusion Chapter 1: Why pursue a photography project? Of course we are dealing with street photography– but there are many different reasons to pursue a photography project in general: Reason 1: Photography projects are more personal First of all, one of the main reasons you should pursue a photography project is that you can make it more personal.

  • Elif Uras the Source

    Elif Uras the Source

    ELİF URAS THE SOURCE Curator & Editor: L. İpek Ulusoy Akgül November 24 – December 30, 2018 Tue–Fri, 11am – 6pm; Sat, 12pm – 7pm Kemeraltı Caddesi No: 25C Beyoğlu, Istanbul, Turkey (next to Galata Greek School) Elif Uras’s site-specific installation The Source, realized under the leadership of Galerist and as part of Kale Group’s 2018 project in support of ceramics in art, will be on view at a historic storefront in Istanbul between November 24 and December 30. Feeding from diverse historical and cultural references in her works, Uras hybridizes various traditions connecting painting to ceramics that she’s been working with for a while. The artist transforms these traditions in search of a new language. Exploring ideas of shared heritage, cultural hybridity, tradition and pluralism, The Source features a functioning ceramic fountain, a tiled wall, and new drawings presented in ceramic frames. An extension of Uras’s spatial explorations, her panel composed of 2500 mosaic pieces stems from Çinili Köşk (Tiled Kiosk) in Istanbul. Her anthropomorphic sculpture is a feminized version of the fountains in the Ottoman Imperial garden. In dialogue with the goddess figure in her fountain, Uras’s works on paper portray female protagonists presenting us with their gifts. Recalling the artist’s interest in different artistic practices before her, The Source also underlines natural resources such as water and light that connect with ceramics in Uras’s works. Her first presentation in Istanbul since her 2016 solo exhibition at Galerist, this installation transforms a historical space that has previously been used as a storage and a shop, attributing it a new function.

    PRESS RELEASE My Place Is the Placeless

    PRESS RELEASE My Place is the Placeless Shahpour Pouyan Private View Monday, 6 November, 2017 from 6.30 – 9 PM Exhibition continues until January, 2018 Lawrie Shabibi is pleased to announce the third solo exhibition in Dubai of New York-based Iranian artist Shahpour Pouyan. The exhibition takes its title from a phrase in a poem by Mawlana Rumi, and speaks of Pouyan’s rejection of national and ethnic labeling. Four years ago Pouyan took a genetic ancestry test. The results revealed a DNA ancestry of thirty-three modern countries spread across Central Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Caucasus Mountains, Northern Europe and the British Isles. Some of the countries were surprising, such as Norway, Ireland and Bhutan, others less so, such as Iraq, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Pouyan spent two years obsessively researching distinctive historic architecture from these thirty-three countries with the aim of unearthing their most significant monuments and ‘constructing’ his own identity through the language of architecture. The core of the exhibition revolves around a large-scale cuboid industrial steel construction upon which rest the thirty-three ceramic sculptures – the results of his research. Each sculpture is representative of a dome from a monumental building in the country of the artist’s genetic extraction as revealed by the genetic test. Some domes relate to religious buildings or places of worship, others as pure statements of grandiosity and power. The artist takes a Foucauldian approach to develop a personalized genealogy of the dome, highlighting the human tendency to memorialize legacies of power, just as genetic heritage is often a record of the legacies of conquest.
