Newspaper spreads

In anticipation of the possibility of producing a newspaper based on the themes of LOVE & REBELLION design 3-4 versions of a newspaper spreads based on images from your photo book.

As I was doing a film I decided to focus on my images that I spent the most time on editing; that being my final prints and incorporated them into my newspaper spreads I also selected a few frames from my film which I used for my juxtaposition.

My favourite spreads are the first sequence and my montage.

‘transition’ and Limitations/freedoms’

transition –

“the process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another.”

“a process of changing from one system”

“passage from one state, stage, subject, or place to another”

“an abrupt change in energy state or level”

  • the four elements – fire, air, water and earth
  • how these elements change
  • how these elements interact with each other
  • nature is in a constant state of transition
  • changes in seasons
  • fashion continues to change
  • buildings
  • seascapes
  • skies – sunsets, sunrises
  • how light transitions
  • shadows
  • LGBT – transitions of the genders
  • water – how the tide changes
  • explore areas, collect things and photograph those things
  • question – how do humans impact the transition of nature?

limitations –

“a limiting rule or circumstance; a restriction”

“a condition of limited ability; a defect or failing”

“a legally specified period beyond which an action may be defeated or a property right does not continue.”

“the act of controlling and especially reducing something”

“If someone or something has limitations, that person or thing is not as good as he, she, or it could be”

“a certain period limited by statute after which actions, suits, or prosecutions cannot be brought in the courts”

“restrictive weakness; lack of capacity; inability or handicap”

  • fences, barriers, borders, chain ropes, binding
  • captivity, confinement
  • politics – limits peoples confidence
  • stresses, cracks, breaking points
  • what makes people feel limited?
  • how can people feel limited?
  • can people go from feeling limited to feeling free?
  • mental illness
  • mortality
  • frailty of human life

freedoms –

“the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants”

“the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved”

“the quality or state of being free”

“the quality of being frank, open, or outspoken”

“the condition or right of being able or allowed to do, say, think, etc. whatever you want to, without being controlled or limited”

“a right to act in the way you think you should”

  • art gives people the option to express themselves in any way they want to – different colours, brushstrokes, materials
  • freedom to move, to travel, to dance, to be inspired
  • advancement of technology has allowed for designers and artists freedom to explore new ideas and push materials to the limits
  • ‘start with a style and you are in chains – start with an idea and you are free’
  • free expression, political freedoms, debate, discussion, protest
  • travel, exploration, independence, leisure, escape
  • dance
  • rescue

INSPIRATIONS

SEQUENCE

sequence photo is the deconstruction of a moving subject within the same image. It’s a particularly interesting technique to portray a sports figure: ski and snowboard jumps, skating, etc. The results are always impressive, especially for rapid, acrobatic winter sports.

Jean Louis de Heeckeren

Red Bull Illume 2019: Best aerial photographs

For most of his life, Chilean photographer Juan Louis de Heeckeren has been around fast-action sports – either shooting them or taking part. After gaining a degree in photography from Universidad del Pacifico in Santiago, Juan Louis began working as a freelance photographer for big-name brands in the sporting industry like Patagonia, The North Face and Red Bull.

He has also worked as photography editor for the Chilean magazines Lift and Freestyle, and his photography has graced the pages of sports titles across the globe. These days you’ll find Juan moving between the Andes mountain range and the Chilean coast, looking for the perfect landscape in which to photograph his subjects.

Photographer Juan Luis de Heeckeren in 2016 caught up with Marko Grilc in the Chilean resort of El Colorado. They teamed up to create some memorable images of snowboarding.

The shot is a sequence of Marko pulling off a Backside 360 Mute with the majestic Andes as backdrop. The awesome view and the twilight give a nice mood to the picture – well done Juan Luis.
