f-11 news: “RED” for supplementaire magazine by Wolf189

January 10th, 2010

Video preview of RED editorial (18+) by WOLF189 featuring model Crash.
Exclusively for supplementaire magazine with music by Fung Lam.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Fung Lam ( brother of our own Leo Lam, a f-11 member) during making this video/slide show preview of RED editorial for supplementaire magazine.
  
Here is a little about this talented composer, Fung Lam:

With the premiere of his 23-minutes orchestral work Unlocking in 2008, Fung Lam became not only the first composer commissioned to compose a new work specifically for BBC Radio 3’s Discovering Music programme, but also the youngest Chinese composer ever to have been commissioned by the BBC.

Ranging from original concert and media works to various arrangements, sometimes involving both Western and Chinese instruments, his music has been performed around the world, including festivals such as the Cheltenham Music Festival, BASBWE International Wind Festival, Soundwaves Festival, Second Glance Festival, Musicarama Festival, Le French May, Asian Composers’ League Asian Music Festivals in 2003, 2004 and 2007, and the inaugural BBC Electric Proms in 2006.

Born in Hong Kong in 1979, Fung currently resides and works in London.  His teachers have included Martin Butler, Michael Finnissy and Michael Zev Gordon.

 

*************************

We have started discussing our plans for our f-eleven book volume 2 and the charity that it would be dedicated to.
.
Meanwhile please click on the f-eleven book volume 1 located on the top right side of blog to preview it and perhaps order it.
.
We still haven’t decided if we are going to discontinue offering the first volume after our second Volume is out or not and who knows it might become a collectible item, so this is your chance to own a very diverse photography book while offering your help to a worthy cause “Friends Without a Border” charity.
.
Thank you for all of your supports.

Cheers

f-11 news: “STAMFORD AT NIGHT” exhibition by Matthew Cherry

January 8th, 2010

 

From "STAMFORD AT NIGHT" exhibition by Matthew Cherry

We would like to congratulate another member of f-11 for his upcoming exhibition.
 
Matthew Cherry has been creating compelling images for over twenty years. Always fascinated by form and light, he combines high production values with his cinematic storytelling to evoke an emotional response to his imagery. A photographer and cinematographer, Matthew has worked in independent films and corporate video as well as commercial photography.  
Matthew’s documentary work has taken him to Europe, South America and Africa.
 
In celebration of Mayor Michael Pavia’s inauguration, “STAMFORD AT NIGHT“, a recent series by Matthew will be exhibited at the Palace Theater Sackler Gallery through February 5, 2010, curated by SCA Director of curatorial services and sponsored by Picture That LLC.
 
At the turn of the last century, as the industrial revolution took hold in Fairfield County, Stamford became the City That Works. It is still the city that works, but the work being performed today is remarkably different then that even half a century ago. Gone are the south-end factories that once manufactured the locks used around the world, they have been replaced by giant glass petri dishes of people who push paper instead of iron.
 
The goal of this series is to examine the changing landscape of a city once again in transition.
 
 
We are proud to have included a few photographs of this wonderful series in “f-eleven” volume 1.
 
Cheers

The concepts of f – eleven books

January 6th, 2010


from f - eleven book , image by Dave Rudin

The first collaborative book of  f-11 was simply named f – eleven .

We were not sure if we were going to make another book.

But since then we have received a lot of heart warming feed backs that has made us to go forward with this project.

The main concepts of these big volumes of f – eleven books, are going to be hidden in the act of making them … a subtle statement against the typical photography book collections out there.

We won’t try to please a very specific group or taste. We’ll try to show case solid photography works made by our own members in any genre, compiled in a coherent to semi coherent design. (  f-11 is a private photography group. to apply please feel free to contact info@wolf189.com )

In our “big” (I’ll explain later what I mean by that) volumes, we’ll try to bring a rather diverse collection of images in various styles and from different genres together and yet try to make a subtle sense of connection among them.

This could be a rather ambitious plan but for now, that would be the main concept of these bigger f – eleven volumes.

On the same hand we will try to donate the profits of each book’s sale to a charity and promote such charities’ causes along side our books.

Now to explain the difference between big volumes and other potential volumes :

There might come a time that we feel like promoting a singular concept or style such as street photography, editorial fashion or fine art nude…in such occasions we will put smaller issues together but we still try to compile a variety of points of view within those genres.

The profits of those smaller volumes will also go towards different charities…the only difference would be their contents and their smaller sizes.

Come along with us in this exciting journey…support us in our goals to create new conceptual values for photography books while supporting a variety of worthy charities.

Thank you for all of your supports.

Cheers
