James Russell Cant - PHOTOGRAPHY
James Russell Cant, a Photographer, who came to talk about his work at my College on 26/06/2013.
He spoke about the areas that he explore within his work:
The project takes a really long time, its all about collaboration and they have to spend time talking about colors, objects to use,composition, everything needs to be well thought.
It is a stressful project, but James tries to make the atmosphere less "heavier" while hes taking the pictures, he jokes and shouts around so even the models feel more comfortable with the situation.
Hes advertising pictures, look very natural, relaxing moments, loads of day light, flash on, models have makeup on, but is very settled people cant tell, that is actually there.
James, while photographing tries to motivate the models, speaks to them, jokes around.
Some advertisements, are done naturally, James went around London, taking random pictures of different people and found interesting ones, from a student, all natural, day light, no make up.
Design- On these project, James works with people that ain't professional models , he takes different shots of them. The "models" are all natural, no make up.
Library- James has a contract with a company where he gives them his work then they publish it, he invests on it.
Editorial- Simplicity pictures, simple backgrounds but with an impact on the picture, texture, color. On this project, James captures light, funny moments, plain backgrounds, different expressions, public spaces, models show their interests, while speaking they're mentioning it with their hands, pubs, at the end then some models disagree with the shots taken by the artist.
James is interested in famous people but sometimes it gets boring so he just photographs random people.
Editorial Project- For this project, James Russell Cant, went to Japan.
Also he worked on this project for months, he spent months taking pictures of Japanese people around London and obviously asked them to photograph first.
Portraits- This project, is more independently he takes pictures of family, and random people around London.
Fine Art- Loads of research go into the context.
Pictures of his children with each member of the family and the child's expression to each one,different shots.
James have family who live across, the world, so he took neighbors, people connected to him and photographed them, about 24 exposures then layered all together.
