Tornado Aftermath in Ringgold, GA

Ryan McBride – Year 2, Term 3 Work
Blog: www.mcbridephotography.wordpress.com


April 28th, 2011 Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee were hit with multiple tornados. All were in the range of EF3 to EF5 speeds, the worst speeds for a tornado. April was a record month, with over 600 tornados. I went down to Ringgold, GA, a small town in North Georgia just below the Tennessee border where a EF4 destroyed the town. It continued into Cherokee Valley killing 8 people and wounding others. But this town is not broken and the people remain strong as ever. What I witnessed down there was tragic, overwhelming, heart wrenching and beautiful all at the same time. It changed how I thought and feel about many things about Georgia and it’s people and the strength our people have when situated with a devastating loss.

Winter Wonder

Ryan McBride – Second Year, Term 1 Work
Blog: http://www.mcbridephotography.wordpress.com

The area of professional photography I would like to pursue is documentary photography. It’s been in my heart and has been a passion of mine ever since I picked up my first camera.

My motivation for this project was to answer the push for documentarian’s and photojournalist’s to use multimedia as a medium. I decided to make a small orchestrated multimedia with audio and video based on the tough weather we’ve been experiencing in New England this winter, while honoring the rules and style of photography. In other words, I shot this video like a photographer, not a videographer.

Visual Reportage workshops are coordinated by full-time New England School of Photography instructors Michael Hintlian, Documentary, and Glen Cooper, Visual Journalism.

“Beginning in 2007 our workshop mission grew from a belief that the best of our work is an instrument for change, that images have the power to give voice to the voiceless and more. Since our first workshop, widely diverse groups of accomplished photographers have traveled to Guatemala and India where they have worked stories and grew as photographers and as people.

We are excited to present this exhibit from 20 photographers who are committed to making a difference through their work.”

Eric Dietrich

Discovering Photographic Goals

Yusuke Suzuki - First Year, Term 1 Work

Website: http://fotologue.jp/The-Minstrel-Boy

 

    At first, I thought I wanted to become a photo journalist but I recently realized that I want to do a long term project rather than short term assignments like daily news. I want to tell the story  by using my pictures and I believe that spending more time with the subject matter allows me to take good images.

Capturing Music for Our Eyes

Max Gordon—First Year, Term 1 Work

Website: http://www.maxbgordon.com/

1. What was your motivation for this project/these images?

Being a newly enrolled student at NESOP, I am still testing the waters and learning in what subject matter I’m interested. Before this shoot, I had not shot any concert photography. I think that this is an area in which I’d like to be involved. I enjoy the musicians who perform and working to capture the atmosphere of the event.

2. Describe your technique for making these images. (film or digital, camera used, settings and ISO, tripod or none, alternative process(es), etc.)

To make these images, I used a digital SLR (Nikon D700) with both a 28-200mm lens and a fixed 50mm lens. Since it was indoors with low light and mixed light, and being tripod-less, I needed to use a high ISO (6400) in order to have a fast enough shutter speed to capture the event.

3. What is your intention behind this work/in making this work?

My intention is to recreate the event accurately so that the music and performance will not be lost in the air forever but be translated into and remembered through these images.

4. What response do you hope to get from your viewers?

I hope viewers are excited about and awed by the images. I like to experiment with new perspectives that will draw up memories of the event for the viewer who was at the concert and, for those who weren’t there, make images that will instill a desire to see a concert like this.

5. What other artists or art serve(s) as your inspiration?

I love watching musicians and DJ’s work, so many artists serve as my inspiration. For this particular shoot, the musician playing is Kieran Hebden (known as Four Tet). His music provides me with inspiration for my shoots, both when I’m at his concerts and when I’m not… Watching musicians and DJ’s work inspires me to try new ways to shoot and work photographically.
