Επειδή μου κίνησες την περιέργεια, έψαξα και βρήκα ότι ο DAVID HILLIARD αυτοβιογραφείται φωτογραφίζοντας τον εαυτό του και τους φίλους του.
Ακούγεται εντυπωσιακό,και αξιοπερίεργο.

Και κάνει και πολλές εκθέσεις, από τις οποίες όμως δεν μας δείχνει φωτογραφίες.
Υπάρχει κάτι άλλο που θα μπορούσαμε να μάθουμε γι αυτόν και πού?; 13 Μαΐου, 2008 23:01
erva_cidreira είπε...: For years I have been actively documenting my life and the lives of those around me, recording events and attempting to create order in a sometimes chaotic world. While my photographs focus on the personal, the familiar and the simply ordinary, the work strikes a balance between autobiography and fiction. Within the photographs physical distance is often manipulated to represent emotional distance. The casual glances people share can take on a deeper significance, and what initially appears subjective and intimate is quite often a commentary on the larger contours of life.

For me, the construction of panoramic photographs, comprised of various single images, acts as a visual language. Focal planes shift, panel by panel. This sequencing of photographs and shifting of focal planes allows me the luxury of guiding the viewer across the photograph, directing their eye; an effect which could not be achieved through a single image.

I continually aspire to represent the spaces we inhabit, relationships we create, and the objects with which we surround ourselves. I hope the messages the photographs deliver speak to the personal as well as the universal experience. I find the enduring power and the sheer ability of a photograph to express a thought, a moment, or an idea, to be the most powerful expression of myself, both as an artist, and as an individual.

Γνωρίζω μόνον όσα μας εξομολογείται ο ίδιος στην ιστοσελίδα του.
Κι εγώ θα ήθελα να ήξερα περισσότερα γι' αυτόν, αλλά δυστυχώς οι μόνες επιπρόσθετες πληροφορίες είναι αυτές της wikipedia:

David Hilliard (photographer)

David Hilliard (born 1964, Lowell, Massachusetts) is an American photographer. He received his MFA from Yale University in 1994.

Hilliard is a fine arts photographer that mainly works with panoramic photographs. He draws from his personal life and those around him for his subjects and records events through his work. His photographs mainly focus on the ordinary day life but there is a fictitious aspect to the work because many of the scenes are staged.

Technique
Hilliard’s panoramas are constructed with several panels ranging from as few as two and as many as six or more. The majority of his work however, has about three panels. The main difference between Hilliard and most other panoramic photographers is that each panel functions as its own composition that does not rely on the other panels in order to be a successful composition. Each panel is a different focal point and focal plane. This technique allows for Hilliard to guide the viewer through each photograph, directing their eye to what he wants them to focus on.

Ανώνυμος είπε...: Φίλε μου για να καταλάβω και να μη λέω πράγματα γύρω από τη φωτογραφία. Αυτές οι φωτογραφίες είναι ερασιτεχνικές; Μου θυμίζουνε όλους που πήρανε μια ψηφιακή και το παίζουνε φωτογράφοι.; 14 Μαΐου, 2008 16:12
