Architecture was one of the very first careers that I wanted to pursue as a child. For a long period of my childhood, I would spend hours on end creating and designing houses and buildings using a program on my family’s stone-aged computer. For the past year and a half, I have experimented with different techniques on how to approach landscape and architecture photography and decided to create a hyperlapse video comprised of over 5,000 individual photos. The concept behind my senior exhibition is to document and capture pieces of architecture and landscapes that I would miss if I were to leave San Diego for college.
I decided to use this type of photography, hyperlapse, because unlike traditional 2-D photos, it allows the viewer to become more interactive with the piece. By creating a video comprised of photographs, I hope that it will then influence other upcoming artist to create and try to present their art in other, non-traditional ways.
My artist inspirations were Flying Lotus, a Disk Jockey (DJ) as well as a hyperlapse photographer, Michael Shainblum. Lotus was the first artist that I researched and although I wasn’t a big fan of the work he created, I was inspired by his technique of incorporating live music with the abstract drawings that he produced, which were being projected behind him as he played his set. I took the idea of having a moving projection and researched ways to do photography in the same style that Flying Lotus did with his drawings. I began to research more and found a second artist inspiration, Michael Shainblum. Michael S was an artist that I found on Vimeo who focused on on hyper-lapse photography, after watching his videos and trying to replicate the movements he did, I became comfortable and fascinated at this new way of capturing photos and knew that this was something that I wanted to learn more about.
Artist influences include Flying Lotus and Michael Shainblum.
