Loving the Street Portraits

Just put up another post over on FeetManSeoul.com and am really happy with the direction the street portraits and my photography are taking. I am jazzed again about collecting images of people looking into the camera and capturing their personalities on film. It was one of my first projects when I first came here, but which got difficult to keep up. Now, I feel like I'm returning, somewhat, to some of the original things I was doing when I was still fresh in my photo work in 2002.

Go back and re-visit those original motivations in the first draft of the first chapter of the cancelled photo book, in which there are some of the last public pictures of the reknowned Korean photographer Kim Ki Chan, whom I had the honor to interview and photograph a year before he passed on.

"Why Be Critical?"

  • Before you say this site is "anti-Korean" or bashing Korea – read this: "Why Be Critical?" Chances are, if you're simply angry because I am a social critic in Korea but not actually Korean, see if your argument isn't just a kneejerk response that follows these patterns.

Photo Classes!

  • Session 1: Just the Basics Dealing with the basic operations and functions of your DSLR, explaining each function, button, and doo-hickey. The bulk of the session is likely going to stick around the relationship between aperture and shutter, as well as depth-of-field. Basically everything on your camera has something to do with this relationship.

    Session 2: Composition and Shooting (Shooting Session 1) We'll take those examples and look at them on the big screen, while also answering the concrete questions that will pop up about the stuff we learned before. Then we'll talk about composition and other framing issues, including lens lengths and why some lenses are worth $100 bucks and some are worth $10,000.

    Session 3: Flashes and Advanced Exposure (Shooting Session 2) Dealing with flash, in terms of compensating above and below exposure levels (bracketing), as well as other bracketing techniques in general.

    Session 4: Final Session/Critiques Keeping it open, determined by the class.

    Four 3-hour sessions, as well as shooting sessions, photo discussions, and critiques. An individual photo essay will also be done as part of the ongoing class assignments. Inquire at the email address at the top right of this page.
