Some people claim that a good portrait will reveal some truth about the model. I am undoubtedly sad to state that these people will not find anything interesting in my photography which has no such purpose.
I've been more than a little obsessed with photographing soap bubbles. A good day is a still day with slight cloud (diffuses the sunlight).
The lens is always in the centre of the bubble reflection. I find that reassuring for some reason. Life is rarely so simple.
I keep trying to improve upon and perfect bubble shots.....
Born into Brothels, by Ross Kauffman and Zana Briski, is the winner of the 77th annual Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. A tribute to the resiliency of childhood and the restorative power of art, Born into Brothels is a portrait of several unforgettable children who live in the red light district of Calcutta, where their mothers work as prostitutes. Zana Briski, a New York-based photographer, gives each of the children a camera and teaches them to look at the world with new eyes.
The documentary is realised by Kids with Cameras, a non-profit organization to empower marginalized children through learning the art of photography.
