Kevin Miyazaki
By Mandy Litwin
Kevin Miyazaki began his
talk by mostly showing us a huge range of the work he has done in a more
commercial setting. His craft and technique with his photography is very
admirable. With every photo of his you see, there is an obvious sense of care.
This includes his attention to lighting and composition, no matter the subject
matter. During his talk, the audience learned about his experience with shooting
all over the world, and for many different occasions and events.
The way he talks about his
work also feels very confident. He knows what he is doing – and he does it.
This is not only applicable in his commercial photography. As an artist, Kevin
has a pretty clear mindset. A lot of his work is influenced by his family’s
histories. His Guide to Modern Camp Homes
project was very interesting. I like that he, in a sense, remixed a past
real-life template to portray his concept. The presentation is unique and
informs people on an important piece of history.
As someone who enjoys
portraiture, his Perimeter series sat well with me. Though it is simple, I
enjoy the idea of documenting people relatively casually. The images are
beautiful and executed again with great care.
