I couldn't write a blog on photography without mentioning this guy. I've had the pleasure of assisting him on a couple of shoots & also being the subject in one of his shoots! Both situations equally as inspiring as one another. Agenda has taught me a lot technically, for example, a lot to do with lighting but perhaps more importantly opened my eyes towards the grace and charm of the art.
Agenda's work incorporates a lot of the surrounding location; to me this helps tell the story of the photograph and the concept behind it. It could even exercise your imagination into making up it's own concept of the photo! Graciousness comes into Agenda's work as I find this word resembles the way I portray his work; people may have different opinions and views but I look at his work and find it all very, enchanting. The background works as a composite, the lighting defines and justifies everything his work entails.
Just for the record, he is such a cool guy too. I highly recommend Agenda Photography for those who are looking for some edgy, fun photographs!
This is a friend of mine, Pat. These pictures are also from the first shoot I assisted Agenda on. As I've just said about location; do you see what I mean? The location fits the model, the model fits the location, they are the perfect marriage.
Another shoot with Pat.
This photograph is probably my favourite; the lighting and the worms-eye camera angle
This photo is beautiful too. High exposed lighting is somewhat underrated these days yet a few here and there doesn't hurt! I find high contrasted photographs very effective (especially when working with children) perhaps creating a more angelic approach?
I helped assist Agenda on this shoot too; the weather was dull, rainy and just plain dreary that day yet he managed to pull these out of the bag.
These images are just a few of the selection Agenda has on his website.
Please, please do take a look. His work is so influential.
I'm hoping to assist him on some upcoming shoots in the near future; keep checking back to my blog to see if I've added anymore!
Thank you very much T!
