Final Exhibition KPJ 9

Last thing usually is the best thing. That was my expectation when I did my final task for the final photography exhibition in Kelas Pagi. However, It didn't run as my expectation.

The theme is Jakarta. I didn't really know what I want to share about. I proposed my concept to Pa'e (Anton Ismael) about Dufan in my thought. Nonetheless, the concept wasn't strong enough. I have changed my concept less than a week before the day. I don't have time and willingness to show my concept to Pa'e. Everything was so fast. I also don't have time to use model or even ask my friend for being my model. Therefore I do self portrait.

If you don't understand what it means, never mind. That art is still being the part of my learning process. I thank to my friend who spent their time coming to our exhibition. Though, it wasn't my best art, I promise to do art-making again and again and becoming better and better.

Becoming Contributor in Travel Magazine. How Come?

Traveling and getting paid from it are so interesting. I often do internet surfing and seeing the pictures in someone's blog about his/her traveling experience. That's so amazing and it makes me envy. Working in magazine to take pictures of beautiful sceneries and activities sounds fun as well. Since December, my classmates and I were asked by our travel photography mentor, Sasha, to do coverage of Jakarta. Sasha is editor-in-chief of Linkers, in house travel magazine of Citilink. Fortunately, we got privilege for being contributor in Linkers.

This coverage activity has been done since a few months ago. However, I just joined in team since December. I feel like getting rare chance and being lucky for doing this kind of thing. We moved around Jakarta for taking pictures of historical places, tourist attractions and spots, legendary food, etc. Usually, it's easy to me for taking those kind of picture. Nevertheless, I did it more careful since I know these picture will be displayed in magazine. That's why I need to capture decent pictures.

Beside taking pictures, we were asked to write the article by ourselves. I got many lesson learned from Sasha. She directly corrects us when there's error. Hopefully, I'll get another exciting experience in this industry :)

Commercial Photography Class

After loose time of task, this week we got task. Pa'e shared to us about commercial photography. The point that I remember is everything can be sold. It depends on the way we communicate it. Beside improving our photography skill, we need to enhance our communication skill as well. Pa'e gave us the task such as client's brief for commercial photoshoot. These are the brief:

* Soap

* Unisex

* 'A' class

* Hipster look

* White on white

Eventually, this is my image

Kelas Pagi on Metro TV

One day, class was finished. Then there is Metro TV reporter and cameraman who came to Third Eye Space. They wanted to do reportage about Kelas Pagi Jakarta. Therefore, most of us were shot. I can't see the embed video on its website. However, one of my friend (Wira) captured when it was LIVE on TV.

We arranged to do photo session as one of activity in Kelas Pagi. I'm just happy because having new proper photographs which captured by KPJ Fellow, AndreCuk. These are the pictures.

Saltprint Exhibition

As an photographer/artist we must share our ability and exhibition is the way for us to display our artworks. The artworks which displayed in this exhibition were produced using saltprint technique. If you want to know more about saltprint, you can read my previous post here.

Our exhibition was held in Lobby Menara BCA. I was happy since some of my mates came to the exhibition to appreciate the artworks. For your information, it's hard to do saltprint. For some of my friends, they can easily did one and succeed. However, I did three times for printing the photo.

These are the experiment:

First experiment

Second experiment

And you can see the final result on the small picture on frame below. Anyway I want to say thanks to my friends who spent their time there. Thank you so much guys :)
