Will Work 4 Food by Steve Tirona at Silverlens Gallery

Steve Tirona's Will Work 4 Food

WILL WORK 4 FOOD

by

Steve Tirona

Curated by Adeline Ooi

6pm on April 24, 2008 - May 24, 2008

Will Work 4 Food began in 2005 with a simple aim to take “snapshots” of the nascent but exciting days of Manila’s alternative contemporary art scene. Three years on, the careers of a number of the individuals pictured here have matured. Many are now making names for themselves as some of the Philippines’ most promising and exciting young contemporary artists. This ‘family tree’ reads like the tangled streets we traverse on daily. Whether working together as members of a collective, setting up exhibition venues of their own, or quietly working on their obsessions, their energy is inspiring, their enthusiasm and determination to continually provoke and play, to experiment and reinvent.

Born in Manila in 1976, Steve Tirona was raised in Southern California and calls Los Angeles his hometown. After graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Photography from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena in 1996, Tirona went on to taking pictures professionally in the U.S. and Southeast Asia. His past work includes Rage Against the Machine’s Battle of Los Angeles album as well as the photographs for the movie Adaptation . His unorthodox vision and style of photography have garnered the respect and admiration of his peers and the creative industry as a whole. Steve is now based in Manila.

This project has been supported by The Nippon Foundation Asian Public Intellectuals Fellowship grant.

Accompanying Will Work 4 Food are Saturday Gallery Activities , all from 3-5pm:

April 26-Gallery Talk by Curator Adeline Ooi

May 3-Artist Talk by Steve Tirona

closing party on May 24, 6pm

Visit silverlens gallery at 2320 Pasong Tamo Extension, Makati City, 816-0044, manage@silverlensphoto.com. Gallery hours are Monday to Friday 10am–7 pm, Saturday 1–6pm. www.silverlensphoto.com

May 17, 2008 Saturday (1:00pm to 5:00pm)

May 18, 2008 Sunday (scheduled shoot) and Portable wireless lighting and Critique session on

May 19, 2008 Monday (6:00 pm to 9:00 pm)

Unit 602 Cityland 10 Tower 2, H.V. Dela Costa St. Salcedo Village, Makati City, behind RCBC Tower. http://www.photosbykengo.com/misc/map.jpg

For more info and to see the photos from the previous seminar, please visit http://seminars.photosbykengo.com/

Maximum of 10 Participants

Topics:
1. Types of commonly used studio lights
2. Light modifiers
3. Trigerring lights
4. Measuring light
5. Light positions
6. Types of portrait lighting
7. Dealing with models
8. Portable wireless lighting (Strobist)

1st day of seminar will be on discussion of the topics, there will be no shooting to be done. Though there will be a hands-on practice in measuring lights using a flash meter. You will not be required to bring anything during the 1st day.

2nd day, scheduled shoots for the group (9am, 1pm and 4pm), models will be provided. Participants should only come on their time slot, to avoid over crowding. During the shoot, each participant will be asked to conceptualize a lighting set-up to be done with their model, other participants on the same group will be assisting. After the participant finishes the shoot, other participant on the group will do the same, so the previous participant will now be acting as the assistant. (round robin system) this guarantees a hands-on set-up, thus learning from actually doing it rather than just listening. This will also make sure that the participant will the only one shooting at the time of his/her set-up, so he/she gets all the needed angles to complete the shoot, no more wrestling for a spot just to get the photo.

3rd day, Portable wireless lighting discussion, includes gear needed and how to apply basic lighting techniques to this type of set-up. For the Critique session we will allow fellow students and me to critique ones work, as they say getting better needs one to realize its faults as to make sure to correct it the next possible time.

Kindly bring 1 to 2 of your favorite photo from the photo session printed on 5R, ink jet prints on photo paper are acceptable. All photos will be posted together on the wall for viewing. I usually also discuss some questions regarding post processing during these critique sessions.

Seminar Price is P. 3,000.00 - inclusive of handouts.
