A Movie

-Greg Marinovich

 -Ken Oosterbroek

-João Silva

-Kevin Carter

I finally got around to watching the movie called "The Bang Bang Club". This is a movie based on the story of four photographers: Kevin Carter, Greg Marinovich, Ken Oosterbroek, and João Silva who where working as photojournalists in South Africa between 1990 and 1994, during the transition from the apartheid system to government based on universal suffrage. This movie sticks to the story and gives a different perspective of things on how is it on the other side of the photograph and even the perspective and the point of view of the photographer experiencing these extreme situations. Anyone is free to have their own opinion for this movie since it doesn't end up with a conclusion, but only chronicles the story.

Long exposures: The Photographers

This is a follow up on the post that I talked about how to create long exposure photographs. Besides the technical aspect of photography, which is very important, I find that it is also important to do a great amount of research based on what the subject of your current photoshoot is. I find that it helps a lot if you find photographers that relate to your work, and examine how their photographs are constructed, what is their point of view on that specific subject and what are the technicalities behind each photograph. I think that it is not only important to look at photographers that their work relates to yours but also find photographers who can be an inspiration for the subject you are working on. If you come to a point where you put effort into analysing what captured your attention of a specific photographer/photo, or what detail (even the smallest) has influenced your point of view, then this will have a positive impact on your work.
