Blizzard Portraits

I am inspired by snow,the more the better. When I see snow my immediate reaction is to go out in it and take pictures. I shot this handheld on a medium format Hasselblad for myself as it is my interpretation of what I love about snow and New England. If someone looks at these and is slightly inspired to go out and enjoy what most people despise then it serves a purpose for inspiration.

Jeff Browse, Tim Davis, with a touch of Stephen Shore, a splash of Avedon, and Jose Villa are massive influences on me. So great!

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.”

National Flag

I was trying to capture the American flag and the people around it because I struggle to understand the symbolism that is attached to national flags.

Although Japanese people have special feelings to their flag as well, Americans seem to have even stronger feelings toward their flag. My interpretation is that the American flag seems to represent their spirit and vibrant patriotism.

Discovering Photographic Goals

    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.
