Xiangling Liu

Shinoyama Kishin <Shinwa Shoujo> young girl 13 years old

1997 film

I chose this image because it shows to me a girl's natural state.This image was shooting in her home.She was lying on the book,I feeling what she was thinking something,her left hand naturally on the table.Although she was only 13 years old,but she shows was very professional.She was just an ordinary little girl,but in Shinoyama Kishin's camera,she shows was extraordinary refined,like a myth girl.Light is soft,the work uses of light and shadow very successful.The artist is good at caught the girl's unique beauty.

ABOUT

This blog was inspired by the 1 Image 1 Minute written column in X-TRA and subsequent live iterations of the project by Micol Hebron. The inspiration for the 1 Image 1 Minute column was a similar project produced by Belgian director Agnès Varda (and later written about by Rosalind Krauss) for French television in 1983.

For this blog (and their assignment), students in Niku Kashef's photography classes are asked to select a photograph (that they did not make) that inspires or intrigues them in some way and to speak about it for exactly 1 minute (roughly 150 written words). Students post their name, the artists' name, title of the photograph, year the photograph was made and the medium along with their ~150 words.

In the second part of the assignment, students are asked to either use the image they chose to speak to OR a new image and make an inspiration image based on the photographic/2d design aspects of that image (eg direction/type of light, perspective, depth of field, focus, color palate, etc).
