Look at this cute couple, so in love! Jim and Jackie came in town from Utah to visit their new granddaughter! Seal Beach is near and dear to their hearts, so we planned to meet there under the pier. Well...unfortunately the beach was closed because they were bulldozing all the sand! We decided to go for it anyway, thinking the worst that could happen would be that they tell us to leave. So we ventured down in the sand, and just as we were about to cross the path of the construction trucks, a life guard truck pulled up and stopped us. Jackie explained that they were visiting from out of town, and that she really, REALLY wanted a few shots under the pier... The life guard (Lori) was so helpful! She called her supervisor and we got permission to grab a few photos and then get outta there! I am so happy it worked out... Jim and Jackie...here's a peek at our session!
Sabelo Mlangeni, 1980, is a South African documentary photographer. He was able to study photography thanks to a bursary from the Market Photo Workshop and graduated in 2004. In 2010 he released the book Country Girls, an intimate portrait of gay life in the countryside of South-Africa. The areas in which he photographed are rough and poor, yet Sabelo shows that glamour is also present. He worked on this project for six years, focusing on drag queens, hairstylists and beauty pageant contestants who are still often perceived as un-African or un-Christian. Besides Country Girls he also released the series Men Only as a book and a catalogue containing his series At Home and Ghost Towns. Ghost Towns concentrates on small towns that have been abandoned due to immigration towards the country's urban areas. His work has been shown at several venues in South-Africa, UK, Germany, Italy and the US. The following images come from the series Ghost Towns, Country Girls and At Home.
Andrew B. Myers, 1987, is a young Canadian photographer based in Toronto. He has a very distinct photographic style. His work is aesthetic, using carefully placed objects on simple color backgrounds which creates a large area of negative space. Due to the use of negative space the images gain an awkward flatness. His photographs are well composed, graphic and stylish. The sunlit shadows, washed out colors as well as the objects used refer back to the 1970's and 1980's with a modern twist. Andrew's photographs contain elements of nostalgia and pop culture. The following images come from the portfolio's 2011 PT.1, 2010 PT.1 and 2009.
