The Wonderful Sculptures of Genevieve McLean

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

I photographed some fabulous new works by sculptor Genevieve McLean this week.

It can be tricky to shoot Genevieve’s work, as it is specular, dynamic, and highly textured. To compound this, she is also now placing most of her works in acrylic display boxes, which are highly reflective. Normally, I could cross polarize works in display cases, but I elected not to, as you lose a lot of texture with this approach, and texture is paramount with her work.

The work below is not a display case example, but I particularly like this one.

Videos: two recent interviews

Saturday, March 26th, 2011

The videos featured are interviews with Ben Sheppard and Andrew Keall, two Melbourne artists. As with many other photographers, I have been exploring the possibilities of DSLR as a video tool. In collaboration with Colby Welsh (Ben interview) and Darcy Gladwin (Andrew interview) I recently produced these two clips, for ARTWORLD.tv. Check ‘em out:
