Internships at A Bryan Photo (photography/graphic design/business)

I've known Bryan a long time, all the way back to when he first started making photographs in college with a Holga. Since then he's become one of the best photographers in the southeast. I'm hoping to get him in a Skype chat with our ART 370 analog/film photography course. Film is Bryan's forté and method of choice for making the most exquisite portraits and wedding/event/fashion photographs. Check out his site for yourself HERE, or check out the opportunity to be an intern at his studio in Birmingham. See details below…

We are pleased to announce again the A Bryan Photo Internships for this fall & early next year!
The program allows us to teach the intricacies of our craft, while imparting the principles needed to run a successful small business. We think you will enjoy working with your hands while learning the analog medium.

We practice a Results Only Work Environment (ROWE) which promotes a more relaxing, enjoyable, and strangely more productive atmosphere. You won’t be asked to fill a certain amount of hours or perform mindless tasks. Your role will be integral to our daily workflow and will help us in the presentation and styling of our imagery.

The A Bryan Photo Internship has proven to be mutually beneficial for both parties and we are honored to consider you for the position.

Details:
Fall Submission Deadline : August 26th
Fall Internship Duration : September 9th – December 20th
Spring Submission Deadline : January 18th
Spring Internship Duration : February 3rd – May 16th
Summer Submission Deadline : May 23rd
Summer Internship Duration : June 2nd – August 22nd

This is not specifically a photography internship. One may learn about our craft through working with our team but should not expect to be taught or practice photography.

Fresh Batch of Photos

 I've returned to shooting medium format film for the past few years. I rediscovered a Twin Lens Reflex camera I had and I also bought an old Hasselblad. It's quite the antithesis to the shooting I do with my iPod. What I appreciate is the process of slowing down, making manual selections in terms of exposure and camera settings, and realizing I have a limited number of shots so important to be accurate and purposeful in what I do. One downside is the time it takes to process and edit the work. Although there may be a silver lining in that it gives you some down time from what you've shot that allows you to come back to the work with fresh eyes and greater perspective, sometimes.

 Since the spring I had accumulated 15 rolls of film. I finally got around to developing them a couple weeks ago. Many were shot on a recent trip to Savannah, some at home with my family, and (embarrassingly) a couple of them were from back 2010. I made contact sheets and have begun the slow process of making selections, scanning the negatives, and editing individual photographs.

I wanted to post a few of them to give you some ideas of what I've been shooting with my "serious" cameras.

 

I had a 10 year reunion with friends/classmates from SCAD in Savannah in May. Our get together included a fantastic group show. Here is Linda, Gray, Ryan, myself, and Nicole at Skidaway Island State Park.

 

During our visit we stayed at Tybee Island, one of our favorite places to shoot. I visited my old photo stomping grounds with similar but new perspective.

 I made this photo on our outing to Keeneland last semester. It was pretty overcast and gloomy, but I like that type of weather for the tone and contrast it provides.

 One of my most common and favorite subjects has been our children and life at home.

Here's Evy posing with her babies.

 And here is Owen in the middle of watching TV. He has to used headphones when we watches

Thomas the Train because the train whistle scares Emmet, our dog.

 And related to last week's post, this showed up on one of the first rolls I developed. The last time I visited my grandparents' house before it was sold, I took this picture of my grandmother's silver dollars where she displayed them over her kitchen sink.

Nannies take good photos...apparently

I really want to see this documentary so I'm going to need Kappa Pi to set this up. I'll bring the popcorn!

Unearthed Photos By Secretive Nanny Rocking The Art World

"Here's the story of a random guy who won an auctioned-off trunk, and what he found inside was pure gold — tons of photo negatives and rolls of film taken by a woman named Vivian Maier. Her work speaks for itself ... it's both haunting, voyeuristic, and historical, and now has major art world players very interested. Just watch this trailer for the documentary and you'll see what we mean. Chills!"

I would also like a print of all the photographs. They were so good!

Shout out to Josh Howard!

The department wants to send a shout out to Josh Howard, class of 2007, who is one of the young explorers featured on the National Geographic Homepage. Click here.

National Geographic Explorer's Page with Josh and his work

Josh graduated with a degree in studio art with an emphasis in graphic design, although he was also very interested in and pursued photography. Upon graduation, he opened his own graphic design firm and pursued the grant opportunities with National Geographic. In 2008, he was tapped as one of their Young Explorers.

He pursued a project on Mountaintop Removal. See Vimeo clip here.

Readers of this blog will certainly be familiar with Josh's work which is on view with that of several GC alums and others at the Carnegie Center in New Albany, IN. The show "Project Reclamation" was curated by Mary Margaret (Carlton) Sparks. The show aims to raise awareness about Mountaintop Removal and its impact. Read more on that exhibition here.

In addition, readers of the blog may recall Josh's talk to art majors and others in April 2011, as part of our Art for Lunch series (something we'll be reviving in the Spring -- be on the watch for it!)

Shout out to Josh! And a call to all of our art alums: let us know what you're doing so we can share your news with others!!

And a word of advice to current students: follow your passion! You'll never know where it'll lead you.
