Moments with Apung Isay: Merry Xmas

PhotoAlliance: Amy Stein & Andy Freeberg

This is the first time I attended a lecture from a photographer and I was extremely excited to hear how these pro’s approached their current projects. I’ve followed Amy Stein for a while and loved her pictures especially her Halloween in Harlem and her famous Domesticated projects. The lecture was presented by photoalliance.org which also featured Andy Freeberg. Andy showed and talked about his current projects; the one I really liked was his Sentry project as this project captures exactly as he see’s it the moment he walks into a gallery.

The biggest thing I got from the two lectures was the time and process it takes to produce projects. These two wonderful photographers took a lot of time to do research and went through great lengths to produce these wonderful images. They both talked about the trials and errors it took to start the project and once they got the project going the amount of time it took to produce even just a single image. These two points opened my eyes on what it takes to produce a “quality” project.
