This work deserves a more in depth sharing at a later date, but in short I’ve done some recent work with the(RED) project around new ways to document, cultivate and otherwise further explore the intersection of music with film & photography. Things beyond the music video, honestly. Real integration, raw integration that sprouts up organically or from small, simple roots. The particular work I was doing on the day we shot the above was literally in the streets. Emotionally charged. Moving. Powerful. Some solid photos came out (click around here for a couple – more later), but what I was most excited about was that this work led me to meet the above man, and record the above piece live. He wished simply to be called “Corey”. The piece is Photography Poetry .
Talent is everywhere.
[If you don’t know about (RED), the beneficiary for the work is the Global Fund aimed at fighting AIDS in Africa. Me thinks you’ve seen other (RED) work from brands like Apple, Nike, Converse, & Starbucks. Learn more about (RED) here.]
Pretty! This has been a really wonderful article. Thanks for providing this info.
Excellent collection, many thanks for sharing Eric 🙂
Very intriguing website. I m as a result looking advance to reading added posts.
no offense here Chase, but I can’t help to wonder if this is only going to be deemed interesting because you created it and it’s on your blog. I like the concept a lot and I really like that your are exploring people in this way and keeping an open mind when it comes to photographing people and sharing your experience with others. it’s one of the coolest things about your blog (which I love) and your work in general. I would love to see more of this, but I think it could be tuned a little in terms of translating your perspective to your audience. Keep it up, you’re always an inspiration!
Beautiful work Chase!
