PENINAJOY

Life is good and there are a lot of things in life that fascinate me - art, music, travel, tattoos & most of all people.

These are a few of my favourite things & this is how I see them - through my lens.

For more of the good things & people in life that fascinate me - check out my blog peninajoy.com

Well this lady has a love of life, especially people, colourful people.

She has been involved in a few photography shoots with other people such as 'The Society "  and those are very successful. For example she joined in to do Night shooting with the Society Bros in East Tamaki/ Highland Park.. They were taking photographs of Artist working and some great images of graffiti , then they moved to K-Rd to do some more  shooting.

There are some really nice images of Mangere Bridge and other areas of Auckland.

She also loves music and taking photos of the Musicians. And well done to her they are brilliant shots.

Growing up both my parents were into music and my Mother had a really impressive LP collection – I remember dancing around a lot to ‘Rock the Boat’ . Gosh I can relate to that I loved that sone to.

She has travelled abroad and has some beautiful photos to show of her journey.

A beautiful talented lady .

I have added some of her photos..

Her passion with music..

Growing up both my parents were into music and my Mother had a really impressive LP collection – I remember dancing around a lot to ‘Rock the Boat’ by the Hues Corporation and the likes of The Commodores, Percy Sledge, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Miriam Makeba, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin etc

Was asked to shoot the New Life conference out at the Vodafone Events Centre.  My brother-in-law Joseph performed with his group ‘Unison

Sunset out at Bucklands Beach outside one of LTD Entertainments Sunday Sessions – this was after the 1st Sunday session I went to with my Sunday Sessions crew – Jons, Pip & Upu.  For some reason I’d had to leave early that night so left just as the sun was setting and caught a few really cool shots. 




My niece Destiny Momoisea was Papatoetoe High Schools taupou for their Samoan Group.  She did such a great job – beautiful and graceful

PENINA'S  CLASS VISIT

We finally got to meet the lovely Penina . Amazing woman as I thought full of life and happy.

Her photography is her second job and Travel is her first , brilliant obviously at both .

Pennine showed us her first Art portfolio, I really liked her idea. She covered a lot of her life and self on this board.  She had her whanua , growing up , friends and her community.  I liked how she had some of her photos in black and white which represented her as a child and her parents ( back in the day ).

As a class exercise we were to take some photos with the same ideas as Penina and post them.

I thought about my exercise and with a lot of her images they involved  family and  the community . I thought about and  I decided Im always photographing my family  so it would be good to try another idea of hers.. She had some graffiti  and street photos that I really liked so I decide to give that concept a go.

KAYES ROAD PONSONBY AUCKLAND

KAYES ROAD SO BUSY AND FULL OF LIFE

EARLY MORNING KAYES ROAD

JUST OFF THE STREET 

AMAZING ANGLES JUST HIDING BEHIND THE INFAMOUS KAYES ROAD

STREET ART .........GRAFFITI

 Usage Note: The word graffiti is a plural noun in Italian. In English graffiti is far more common than the singular form graffito and ismainly used as a singular noun in much the same way data is. When the reference is to a particular inscription (as in There was abold graffiti on the wall), the form graffito would be etymologically correct but might strike some readers as pedantic outside anarchaeological context. There is no substitute for the singular use of graffiti when the word is used as a mass noun to refer toinscriptions in general or to the related social phenomenon: 

BEAUTIFUL KIWIANA ART WORK TUCKED IN BEHIND KAYES ROAD
unsure of the artist.

Penina's photograph

.

Love this image  Never Give Up , Graffiti off Kayes Road.  This image was tucked behind a fence and the re was a drop.  In Peninas photographs she got the whole wall which I think makes the image look alot better. With my image it looks just like a painting you wouldnt have thought it was part of a bigger picture on a busy road and the wall this art was on was the car park.

As I walked around Kayes Road totally enjoying the scenery I thought of Penina and I photographed an amazing building and some Graffiti .

Some of my images were slightly out of focus but I held the thought of street photography .

PORTFOLIO WEEK 2

PROFILE QUESTIONS

.  what is your genre ?

My genre is .....editorial ..  non fiction......life...documentary/ documentary portraiture
                                                                                                / social documentary

.  what defines this genre ?

Family / documenting daily life through photographs


. who else is working in this genre ?




 Documentary photography usually refers to a popular form of photography used to chronicle both significant and historical events and everyday life. It is typically covered in professional photojournalism, or real life reportage, but it may also be an amateur, artistic, or academic pursuit. The photographer attempts to produce truthful, objective, and usually candid photography of a particular subject, most often pictures of people.

I have been making a plan to try and organise the household and how to put together an interesting and well set out portfolio.

I have planned a set for each child doing something they enjoy doing.

Damion with his motorbike,

Kyle with his Rugby League

Toko with his playstation,

Victoria just in pink and 

Tamati he's the all rounder guy.

As for the house outside I liked the idea of the Autumn shot , the trampoline  activities , and what ever other caos is going on and  as well as just outside.

The pets , well to even get Angus to move has been an issue and as for the cat she does as she pleases.

Inside the house I have these ideas ...

Cooking time. i.e. actual cooking
Dinner time ,  breakfast time.
Bath time ,
Coming home from school
Sleeping arrangements
Sick children
And just day to day comings and goings and just in general stuff.

Separate night / day shots weather shots of course now we will have the rain which the kids love, puddles

AIPA Week 2 Digital Technology 2 Evaluating an image. AIPA

AIPA.....



Go to the Photographer section and look for a photographer you can use as an artist model of your portfolio research.

The Artist I chose was ANAiS CHAINE


Evaluate one  of of their photographs 


 
What do I see ?

Firstly I see a mirroring or shadow of the cliffs to the right, its almost a straight line . I see a beautiful sun set on the watery sand, then a mother and her child walking towards the sea , followed by the rock or sand dune leading me up to the sky.  The picture is not straight , I see the beautiful reflection of the sun in the sand perhaps it is late afternoon ?


What camera and compositional techniques have been used ?

Low angle , wide DOF , the picture is on a deliberate angle, shutter speed 80 - 125 actually the shutter speed could be lower if the photographer was using a tripod because you would need a bit more light I feel in this image.  Mum and child are on a 3rd of an intersection.


How does the image make me feel  ?

I can relate to this image, It reminds me of how I would  walk with  my children  on the beach and we  would spend a lot of time there and Kariotahis coast line is similar.



What ideas is this photographer working with  ?

WE have foreground/ mid /background.  This photograph takes us around the whole image , we have leading lines in the sand which takes us to the sea. Perhaps the photographer is lying down to get another perspective on the subject.  Taking this angle they get sand , sea and sky  . This image looks good having a low angle if the image was just straight on it could be alittle boring. The cliffs shadow is captured , we have a wide depth of field so we have everything in focus.



What genre does this photograph fit into.
It fits into Retail , family portraits.


Go to the resources section.

Look through the Find a Photo Assistant section

Who do you think has the best assistant profile and why ?

I think Jenna Tod has the best assistant profile.

Jenna Todd
Phone: 027 698 7870 | Mobile: 027 698 7870
Speciality: Documentary / Events / Fine Art / Music & Entertainment / People & Portraits / Photojournalism / Stock / Travel & Tourism / Weddings  
Location: Auckland City, Auckland, New Zealand
Email: jiktodd@gmail.com 
Website: www.jennatodd.com 



She offers a lot of experience in different areas , she is located in the city close and convenient . She also offers an email and a website , some of the other assistants didn't offer a web site .

I had a toss up with Kate Van Der Drift she had a different approach by writing her profile out which was like a CV  very talented but she didn't have a web site which I think is important now days.
