Video… FOR EXHIBIT?

For the religious images i also took some video clips of what was happening in the church my intention was thinking about my work as if it was going to be exhibited and the fact that to heighten the understanding of the culture I thought snippets of sound would work really well to accompany my images. Some of the sound I have used in a short video clip that I made in order to test my theory. (The video is on the usb)

For me I think the sound works well with the images and I definitely will be using the sounds if i am to have an exhibit.

Assisting…

So I plucked up the courage and contacted a photographer I have met through Frame on the job of assisting. He said no 😦 as his insurance wouldn’t cover it but he offered for me to come down and see how he does things on one of his shoots. Its not the end of the world though as I have signed myself up for the Frame assisting training day. As I feel assisting is key for me to progress with my photography.

BehBeh Paparazzi… Why you will always see me with my camera!

Long story short I was at a caribbean food shop and someone enquired about my photography. He was actually looking for a photographer for DANCEHALL EVENTS… Yes just what I needed! hopefully if I can do the photography i can also use images for my personal project to do with Dancehall also!

Just a little clip to show you what happens at events and why I want to do a project book on it.

Evidence for him contacting me.

What i learnt from Sara?…

We spoke about the different traditions of the sub categories i’d be exploring.

Dancehall is not something that I understood greatly. To me it promoted the negative and through my study i wanted to understand more about it. I aimed to be neutral and present the facts.

(google search for Jamaican Dancehall just to give an idea for those who don’t know)

We basically discussed the possible routes and how dancing in general has been a major part of Black culture. She sent me a link to this video about African Tribes Dances.

Religion- Christianity

I mentioned some of the traditions of the church in terms of the Lord’s Supper ceremony I would be photographing and She mentioned the Umanga Tribe in africa also wore white when taking part in Ancestral Ceremonies. The ceremonies were usually for calling upon Ancestral Spirits and I found this related to the belief in speaking in tongues aswell. I searched and searched and couldn’t find anything on the manga tribes.

Frame 15 work

Agi had asked me previously to help out with the frame 15 trade show and conference. I was asked to take photographs on the day for Frame. These images were then used on the Frame15 Facebook page.

Dancehall…

I contacted a friend who i knew was heavily involved in the Dancehall scene.

After speaking with Latoyah on the phone the next big event would be sometime after the deadline due date meaning I would not be able to pursue this for the brief.
