Mark Robert Harper "AMY ATWILL"

yr 2006

I chose this image because it includes an inspirational object of mine which is the microphone. This imaged was taken in December 2006. Not only does the black and white filter make this photo strong, but the emotion that is being shown by Amy Atwill also has an effect on this image. In my inspirational image I tried to give off the same emotion as Amy. I captured it when I was in the studio creating my music. As I took the photo I set it on a 10 second timer and positioned my camera on a nearby cabinet at a set side angle.

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).
