Artist Collaborations
Sophie Chatfield
‘Mizukagami’
Mizukagami literally means water
mirror.
This is a collaboration between Young
art director Rikako Nagashima and
acrylic craftsman Hideto Hyoudou.
The pieces were photographed in black and white to compliment the
neutral tone of the room and mirrors.
The exhibition challenged viewers perceptions of reality. On the walls there
were pieces of text such as "When water is still, it reflects our world as is.
Beautiful or horrid, chaos or neat, light and shadow, accepting it all.“ which
were only legible when reflected in a mirror.
Comfort Food
This is a collaboration between
model maker and prop stylist Jessica
Dance and food photographer David
Sykes.
Jessica used a sewing machine to
create all food within the shots
using only wool. Even the tea in this
shot is made of wool.
Collaborating with photographer
David Sykes meant that they could
pass off the woolen food as the real
deal.
They wanted to capture british
cafe’s and fast food restaurants.
Greetings from Utopia
Amanda Jasnowski and Jimmy Marble, both photographers, collaborated on this piece where
They painted their friends head to toe in colour. They’re aim was to represent the surreal
Dreaminess of LA. It shows a juxtaposition of personalities and energies.
BryJin is a creative collaboration between
american photographer Bryant Eslava and
korean illustrator and graphic designer
Hajin Bae.
The end result is a marriage between
photography and illustration. Some of their
work is also animated. The work created is
a fun take on youth and life.
Missing Garden
A collaboration between photographer Domonik
Smialowski and illustrator Monika Prus.
The project explores the nostalgic memories of
childhood. The way that the illustrationis done in
black and white and very simplistic reflects the way
in which our memories aren’t always very clear and
how as a child our drawings and even views of the
world are more simplistic.
This is a collaboration between
Photographer richard Burbridge, stylist
Robbie Spencer and artist Maurizio Anzeri.
The end result is black and white
photographs embroidered with brightly
coloured shapes and patterns.
The group were actually inspired by old
photographs of mediums in trans and
ectoplasm, leading to the interesting
expressions.
A photographer is commonly a solitary worker
when it comes to creating their work. Artists
like Francesca Woodman, Duane Michals and
many more were solitary artists.
Working collaboratively can be difficult as you
have to place your ego aside and work
towards a common idea. The exchange of
ideas and processes can be very healthy for an
artist. You have to learn to respect one
another.
