Rodrigo Abd  Photographer


Roberto Abd's journalist work shows a lot of empathy for the subjects of his work. he tells in is photos the story of suffering of people in different place on the globe mainly in area of political conflicts like Syria, Libya, or Guatemala

of of his series tells the story of finding the  burying the remains of the people who were massacred by Guatemala's army in the eighties' in the area of the village of Sololá. i visited Sololá in 1992. seeing the photo's highlight for me the importance of journalist photography of paying the world attention for injustice and the need to be active to fight injustice. 

in my work i try to address social issues around me. i started (before corona) to photograph amd interview homeless people in Ghent, where I live. i am trying to raise the awareness of homelessness in our neighborhood and show the human persons in those faces.

Dorotha Lange

the work of Dorotha Lange has great empathy for people and their suffering. Dorotha Lange was one of the photographers that were hired by the federal government in the thirties of the 20th century to document the great depression. her work touched me in her sensitivity and empathy for the people she documented, their life, their struggle with the shortage.
her sensitivity and human approach to the people she photographed is an example for me when i take portraits. 
her work can be found :

Mia-Myline Medina_Kurious Man/Tyler Von Tagen_ Week #13


Vimeo user, Kurious Man, posted this video, entitled Anger Room, seven years ago. It is what I can only describe as a cathartic release of pent up anger and frustration as the man desrpys his surroundings. He screams and grunts while pacing back and forth as the camera shots change drastically from wide angle shots to close ups. This is the kind of action I would like to incoperate into my own video to add drama and highlight the extreme juxtaposition in outward and inward expression of emotion.

Tyler Von Tagen has yet to publish his biography. From what we can see, he is a cinemagraph artist who enjoys working with self portrature and multiplicity. Many of his works envolve two of him- whether that is his shadow or him doing two things in a single scene. I chose these cinemagraphs for the duality of the singlular subject. I interpret in relation to my own work as having two sides of one person; one side cannot be controled by the other. 



Mia-Myline Medina_Anonymous User/Sanja Copic_Week #12

An unknown GIPHY user posted this image without much context. This cinemagraph can be interpreted as simply a man trying to cool off on a hot day, or perhaps as a lonely and defeated individual living a life that is not what he had in mind. I feel a sense of dissapointment or deep contemplation going on in this scene. These negative connotations are things I would like my audience to pick up on with my own project.



Unfortunately, Sonja Copic did not post any description for this video entitled Crying. I simply admire her ability to show her vulnerabilty and express her deep sadness to the public. The audience does not know what is upsetting her, but the mystery is important to create universality. Her emotions are raw and impactful. I plan to express myself, perhaps not in the same way, but to the same degree in my own work.

Mia-Myline Medina_Rogier Hesp/Adeena Charlotte Grubb_Week #10

Director, Rogier Hesp in collaboration with Creatives, Stephen Nijhof and Sander Bergmeijer, created this PSA short film on depression entitled BOY. In the film, dialogue is replaced with music that aids in revealing the main character's disconnect with those around him. The theme of Hesp's film is something I would like to base my own project on. The dim-lit scenes and lack of dialogue from those on screen is something I am interested in as well. I articularly injoy to impliations of the main character being in a routine of sorts by begining the film with him in his room, looking at the television, and ending the film with him in his room once again.

Animator and model maker, Adeena Grubb, creates a darker narrative with her scenes in a creative way. Using photography and video in combination to produce her chilling cinemagraphs, Grubb's work is much like a Tim Burton movie created for a target audience a little older than children. I admire her use of materials in clamation as well as her storytelling abilities. I would like to be able to create a more abstracted narrative in my own work for this project while bringing in some darker elements/ topics as well.
