TCF Ep. 384 - Anya Anti Aug 27, 2017

Show notes

An internationally published and award winning photo artist from Ukraine now based in New York, Anya Anti has been into photography since 2009. She's always been a creative person – as a child she was good at painting and crafts. As her passion for art grew she fell in love with photography and started shooting the world around her. As a self-taught photographer, she gained all her knowledge and inspiration through social media and online photography communities. A year-and-a-half later, she started creating fine art surrealistic female portraits, which became her preferred genre and a hallmark of her work. Installations, costumes and Photoshop manipulation help her to embody her fantasies into a finished piece of art. She shoots mostly with old vintage manual lenses like Helios and Petzval. Their imperfections help her be more creative and achieve that dreamy effect. As a workshop instructor, she has already taught in different countries. She has showcased her work at exhibitions and been published all around the globe. In 2015 she was the lucky winner of a Broncolor GenNEXT sponsorship. Anya is a dreamer. Photography is not only what she loves and what she does, it's also a gentle and romantic side of her. It's a reflection of her deep emotions, passion for unknown and craving for beauty.

Show notes

Ken Hermann's images are pathways, connecting us to micro worlds and challenging us to rethink ideas of photographic representation. Ken doesn't worry about trends, staying true to his point of view as an image-maker. It's exciting to see a young photographer with such a strong singular vision and approach.

TCF Ep. 382 - Laura Pannack Aug 14, 2017

Show notes

Laura Pannack's art focuses on social documentary and portraiture, and seeks to explore the complex relationship between subject and photographer. She is driven by research led, self-initiated projects that push her both as an artist and as an individual. She needs to question what she doesn't understands and gain access to worlds closed off to her. She is drawn to adventure, and wants to roam and play with the limitations and dynamics of photography as an art and as an act. She largely shoots on analogue film allowing the process to be organic rather than being predefined by fixed ideas, thus removing additional pressure on the sitter. She tries to understand the lives of those she captures, and to present them creatively. She's a firm believer that time, trust and understanding is the key to portraying subjects truthfully, as such, many of her projects develop over several years. This particular approach allows a genuine connection to exist between sitter and photographer, which in turn elucidates the intimacy of these very human exchanges. Her images aim to suggest the shared ideas and experiences that are entwined in each frame that she shoots. Her work aims to tell and inspire stories and she wants to connect and emotionally engage with viewers.
