Stranger Number 35: This is Yoshifumi Kono from Ishikawa, Japan. He's been in NZ for 1 year and 8 months now, working as a Chef and Team Leader at Wagamamas, a Japanese noodle house. Seen here enjoying his own "off the menu" lunch creation :)The original thread for my 100 Strangers is buried in the archives here. If you want to read my Strangers' full descriptions in more detail you can check my 100 Strangers set on flickr, and you can also see alternate pictures of them in my 100 Strangers Alternates set.
Saturday itinerary: brunch with the boys, photo walk with Caj, a few more shots of "The Crazy Asian Biker" (Dan), and shop for my Halloween costume for the upcoming Weta Halloween blowout extravaganza :) It's been a while since I've just wandered the city taking photographs, so it was good to get out and snap some shots of something OTHER than beautiful models....haha... :P
We passed through Civic Square on the way to the waterfront. Passing by the Michael Fowler Centre I liked this shot of Karim's exhibition from the outside. This view actually shows a few of my favourite photos...rice field, single boat on the blue water, lady selling fruit, bearded man, and levitating kids. There are many other faves of course, but you'd have to check out the show for yourself to see them.
It seems that EVERYONE shoots this, I don't even know the 'official' name of it. Now it's my turn to shoot it...again...I think I've shot it before but probably never liked any of the images.
Last weekend I had a portfolio shoot with a local Professional Dancer, Sarah Knox. She currently dances with the Footnote Dance Company where she also teaches some classes. She needed some updated headshots for her CV and her agent, and also wanted some contemporary dance images depicting motion. We took care of the headshot stuff but weren't able to do the movement images. Instead of doing in studio shots for those, we may move those outside for a different feel. When we shoot those I'll add them to this post. These are just a couple of the headshots that she chose for herself. Typically I've found Models to be the most critical of their images, but Sarah told me she was VERY finicky about her headshots...oddly enough she chose quite a few of them.
...more to come...
