Kevin says; “The image was taken early in the morning, with no supplementary lighting or reflectors. I paid particular attention to the light falling on the Louiseanne’s face. The pose and composition were worked out taking into account the fascinating sky formations that I was lucky to find. Only basic editing like cropping and colour correction where employed.” Model: Louiseanne Caruana

president’s viewpoint
Part I The Humble Photograph It really makes you stop and wonder – how an inanimate, two-dimensional image
printed onto a chemically treated sheet of paper can be so powerful and can evoke such a myriad of different emotions and reactions. Yes, I am referring to THE Photograph.
It is amazing how a simple picture can mean so many things to so many different people. What would the world be without images? It would definitely be a very drab, unexciting place. Just “picture” any publication without images! Printed matter forms such an important part of our everyday lives that we tend to take it for granted. How would we be able to learn without pictures? Just stop and think for an instant– Geography and History books without any images! Even the Bible makes better reading adorned with images. Scientific literature would not be half as effective without being documented by pictures. Can you visualize how one can learn from books without images?
Dangerous Liason
3
Fierce Competion What would police investigators do without pictures? How would one identify suspects without an image? Not even passports would be of much use without our portrait in them. It would not be too safe to do an election without picture identity cards! The list is endless. And where would today’s business and teaching be without images to enhance lectures, websites and the Internet? Would Medicine be as effective without pictures to instruct doctors and laymen alike? It is not easy to imagine the effectiveness of Medicine without X-Rays (which are definitely a positive offshoot of the photograph that has served and benefited mankind so well.) Advertising a product has almost invariably been effective through the use of wellplanned images with impact. It is really amazing what a great photograph can imply or convey to its viewers. Today’s bombardment of images on billboards, publications, TV and all other visual media is undoubtedly conditioning the way we live, eat, dress, think, learn and manage our lives. Is not fashion, which plays such an important part in our daily lives, not dictated by pictures?
4
In fact, our concept of crucial matters – such as wars, sex, freedom, poverty, lifestyle - has changed and many times, been significantly influenced and altered due to the “humble” photograph. Who has not got some old torn and discolored picture of his ancestors in an album or a drawer? Would it not have been a pity if we had not witnessed these pictures of our great grandparents, families and friends? I think that all our families would be much poorer without them. We are lucky that in our age, we can picture our immediate ancestors very vividly through the pictures they have left us. Presently, with the proliferation of electronic imagery, we can now email images around the globe in nearly real time! Photography has also enabled us to date history as well as to try and answer riddles in a more scientific manner – for example, photography has shed much more light on the mysteries of the Turin Shroud than all the previous theories put together. Yes, images (like paintings) can bend the truth, but a genuine picture on photographic paper is the nearest one can really get to virtually being present in that particular instant when the picture was taken. It is really time for people to stand up and notice the significant influence images have on our lives – and it is equally more important that they appreciate and understand more the person who freezes these moments in time – the Photographer. Alas, I think the ease that present day technology has given the man in the street of producing a good quality useable image, has made it somewhat more challenging for the serious, creative photographer to stamp his identity on the quality of his work. Don’t get me wrong, I think much as the Kodak Brownie in the late 1800’s opened photography to the masses, the digital revolution has really put picture taking in the hands of anyone capable of holding a camera in his hands. I think this is beneficial for photography in general as today’s cameras have taken away a lot of the technique which was needed before to take a technically correct image. So literally millions of pictures are being taken today – how many of them are worth looking at is debatable. Now it is of ultra importance that dedicated photographers try to raise their standards that bit extra to improve the quality, originality and creativity of their work.
5
Only thus will the gap remain and be visible between them and the snap shooter. It is also important to keep trying to educate the masses of what goes into making a memorable image. The professional photographer has to really get a grip on digital techniques and workflows if he wants to have saleable pictures – pictures that the layman cannot produce. It has not become easy for today’s professional photographer to juggle between learning software and digital techniques, getting to grips with new equipment which is invariably becoming outdated in a short time, marketing his business, keeping his clients happy and at then find time to do real photography!! That is sitting down and thinking of being creative, different, conceptual and making time to actually shoot the pictures! Jokingly, besides all this, I think a photographer has also to find time to do regular physical exercise to try and avoid getting posture and back problems with all that sitting behind computers! I will end this part with a very apt saying by George Bernard Shaw, which really reflects the importance of a photograph: “I WOULD EXCHANGE EVERY PAINTING OF CHRIST FOR ONE SNAPSHOT”

An email from
China Write up & images by Ondre Camilleri Gaglione
I was working away when ‘ping’ goes my mobile alerting me of an email. To my lovely surprise it was an email from Ondre, who is an MIPP member and an avid traveller, writing to me about his sweet adventure just that morning, whilst on his latest trip in China. So here I am sharing it with you all, together with a selection of images which he also snapped! Enjoy a glimpse of China!
“I’m presently in China (again), visiting yet another Buddhist monastery. This time I’m in Qinghai province, in the far south west of China, just outside Tibet. It’s been quite a task getting to the city of Xining, which being a provincial town with no obvious tourist sights. It’s 4 hours flying time from Shanghai. Why on earth would I want to come all this way, when I could be somewhere a lot more comfortable. Well as I said, my destination is Ta’er Si Monastery, also known as Kumbum Monastery, 30 kms outside town.

travel feature
After settling in last night, I got instructions from the hotel’s receptionist on how to get to my destination. She warned me that the buses are not numbered. I had to match the receptionist’s Chinese script with the bus’s electronic version. Her hand writing was neat. Trying to match it to a moving bus is another matter altogether. With the hotel card in hand, where the receptionist had written the bus’s destination, I keenly made my way to the back of what I thought was the bus queue. As any visitor to China knows, the word queue doesn’t translate well. It then started to rain, which smudged the destination text, making the task of
8
stopping the right bus a bit more challenging. Well, after stopping every bus which came my way and asking every driver ‘Kumbum?Kumbum?’, a frantic wave of the hands followed, which I assumed to be in the negative. After a frustrating 30 minutes, the desired bus arrived and I was allowed on board. Smudged card in hand, I made a beeline to two novice monks playing with their i-phones, who confirmed my destination. After the usual formal introductions, with frantic translations on their i-phones, ‘ where you from? is always the opening gambit. Forget telling them that I was from Malta. England seemed a safer bet, if one forgets the opium wars. From then on, I became ‘England’ and for the rest of the day, it was ‘England here’ and England there’. Uncovering the camera on my arrival at the monastery seemed to get the boy’s interest, so I simply set it on auto and handed it over to one of them. I just followed. We seemed to jump all the queues, and a whistle-stop tour of Kumbum followed. I was introduced to their buddies, which I assume was a break from their daily chants and mantras. ‘England’ was asked to take photos within all the temples, even though a large ‘No photos’ sign greeted us in six languages at every entry. I as-
9
sumed it didn’t apply to Buddhists, so I handed over the camera to my novice hosts. Lots of smuggy photos followed, and with 6 gigs of memory card down the drain, their attention span had waned. ‘What you do now?’ the i-phone instructed. I tried to gesticulate that I would like to take some pictures on the monastery and the pilgrims. It seemed that the boys had to get back to their lessons. I thanked them for showing me around, and we parted our ways. I headed straight to the temple and lit a candle to Steve Jobs’ innovations. I spent the rest on the day clicking away at pilgrims and monks. I would always show the picture to the suspecting subject, and out of an odd 300 shots, I only had one rejection. It was not from the old pilgrims or the senior monks, but from a novice monk who seemed to have just joined the monastery and was probably attempting to impress his superiors with his vow of righteousness. The day went smoothly. I respected the rules of passage, always following the pil-
10
grims in a clockwise direction. I was invited to spin the prayer wheels by some elder pilgrims and was offered fruit by the monks guarding Buddha’s offerings. I reciprocated by opening and sharing my biscuits and spearmint gum, which went down well. More pictures followed. Getting the bus back from the monastery to Xining, I asked if the bus was heading in my direction. ‘Come,come’ was the reply from the back of the bus. As I headed towards the old, solemn pilgrim, he pulled out his i-phone and showed me a picture of me on one knee taking pictures of monks. I was an obvious target. Who needs a bulky camera when Steve Jobs’ innovations do it just as well!

How to Excel in the world of photography
11
by your own style
Ayman Lofty, an MIPP member from Egypt shares his thoughts about excelling in photography by developing a style....
The World of Photography: the name fits
the vast amount of photographs that we see every day around the world. In the last ten years the industry of photography has progressed so fast in terms of modern technologies that had made us watch thousands of new images daily and this is not bad but on the contrary, photography added a beautiful touch of art to the world and helped spread the culture of beautiful images. The world of photography is known well for its various sections, for instance (landscape, photojournalism, portrait, wildlife, underwater, action, sport, black and white, abstract, etc...). In the beginning, on entering the world of photography I think that each photographer tried all these kinds of photography and after some time he became interested in one kind or more that is close to his hobby or fits his feelings. It also depends on the environment of the photographer or the places he visits and his artistic culture. We find every region of the world has its own nature, and this is also an impact on the production of photographers who are living around these areas or who visit . Forests, tourist areas, coastal areas or archaeological areas. If we look at pictures of
14
the professionals who photographed these areas we find that their interests are very similar, and most of the photos they shot are very similar in composition and style, but which of these pictures gets your attention and we can say: “Wow what an amazing picture this is!!�? The main point for every photographer is that anyone who looks at his image says this is really a beautiful picture and this belongs to the world of professional images that we are watching in the photography’s magazines, newspapers, photo contests and art galleries, the question here is how viewers stop and say this is really a great image? The art of photography is a fine art such as painting and sculpture, the rules of this art are well known by all professional photographers, such as compositions, exposure, guide lines, visual attractive point and etc. Whatever the type of photography all the professional photographers understand this language very well and every image meets all these technical rules become a good photograph. We can say that following these rules is the best, but you can break the rules sometimes, this is a type of art too as well as the world of contemporary image in pursuit of innovation in the world of the image, but get back to the photo of the ideal which meets all aesthetic rules to take and here we have made a pretty picture, but more importantly when we watch this image, can we identify the owner who captured it, through a distinctive style in photography?
15
14
Any photographer wishes that anyone who looks at his photography can recognize it with no need to put his name next to that picture, how does this happen? Professional photographers are divided to two parts: some are using their mind and others use their emotions and feelings to express their images. There is a big different between the photographer who is recording an event, and the photographer who recording his own emotions and feelings in the capture, every professional photographer uses his style in his snapshot, the suitable moment for pressing the camera button in any shots he takes. Your photos have to be linked to your name, but also show your emotions and feelings. Each photographer has a different feeling, these feelings are a fingerprint ...To have an image that featured you, you should trust yourself and believe in all your feelings. When the photographer has the technique and power to control of the camera, the hardest part is his ability to record his feelings and emotions in the picture and record it in a capture, this is the beginning of your own style, each and every one of us has special live environment, personality and feelings, when you register in the artistic image, and each one watching your work will recognize that this picture has been shot by you. As an example, in the world of painting, when we watch the work of Picasso, Michelangelo or Da Vinci we can recognize each one of them.
17
Finally you have to use your own feelings in your capture, it is your own fingerprint. The most famous artistic images are when the photographer records his environment and theme and uses abstract art through photographic image with distinctive style, which is linked to his name. We have many photographers who are using modern techniques and computer programs in this style and can use one image or multiple images together, some had objected the use of computer programs in photography, but here the world of digital and computer triumphed and imposed its word, not only in the world of photography, but also in the world of filmmaking, animation and architecture and car production. Most people around the world possess the tools and programs at home or offices such as the software that the professional photographers use ... so why aren’t these people artists?? The photographers who are using the software for doing art with their own talent and feelings that are distinctive from others, the same of his own fingerprint , so If you want to be different, trust your feelings and your talent. You will be a professional photographer which has a style and which is distinctive from the others.

OCTOBER CONVENTION 2013

THE FORUM From Photographer to Successful Brand
D
uring the past couple of conventions we introduced a forum on various topics in our schedule. This year’s forum will be revolve around the branding theme for photographers. It will be conducted by Joe Zammit Lucia who by now everyone met, at St James Cavalier on Friday 18th October at 19:00hrs. Below is a brief about the forum. Photography has become one of the most popular pastimes. As a result, we have seen photographers’ work being commoditized as talented amateur photographers compete with professionals and as every individual with their own camera does not see much need to hire a more experienced photographer to meet their needs. Even within the professional and artistic ranks, the number of photographers is so large that standing out in the crowd has become almost impossible. In this crowded, competitive, highly talented environment how do individual photographers build success? This forum will explore how one can move from being ‘another photographer’ to building oneself up as a unique brand. What are the components of a successful brand that stands out in the crowd? What are the elements that photographers and photographic artists need to consider and work at to create something that provides uniqueness and value in a highly competitive, commoditized world?

PODGE KELLY All Kinds of Everything “I have been around the block a couple of times in my 36 years playing in this game of Photography, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. So I thought I would show some of the types of photographic images and processes I have done over that time. Most of it for pleasure and not money ( silly me) But it keeps me sane, well I think it does …maybe not, maybe you’ll think differently once you see my Stuff. So what have I done …well everything from Landscapes to Portraits to Weddings to Still life’s, playing around on computers with Photoshop and plug-ins …also playing around in Darkrooms with all kinds of Black andWhite to Polaroid Lifts and Transfers……..what a great pastime Photography is. I will give you a guided tour of what is in the Head and Heart of Podge (Strange place if you ask me!) But maybe…Just maybe it might just spark or trigger something within you to try something different and maybe just stir a little emotion that sends you down a new path you never have thought of going down before… OR Maybe you might think it just a Load of Old Rubbish and should have gone down to the Pub and have a few pints …. But we’ll have a little fun anyway… And I promise I will talk a little slower so you might understand a little from this Irish Man!”
Do not miss out on Podge Kelly’s Lecture at this upcoming convention on Sunday 20th October at 13:00hrs, at Le Meridien.

Football Martin Agius says: “For this event we had a good turnout, as 14 members turned up. Attendees were really serious about football since they did not stop shooting! We had two games to shoot starting with Balzan vs Mosta which was the warming up for our photographers and afterwards, the big game was between B’Kara vs Hibs. Apart from being a good game our photographers had a good challenge under the floodlights where the ISO had to go way up over 3200. From images I have seen uploaded on Facebook, I can see that attendees had fun and they have some pretty good images. Will definitely organise a similar event soon!” Images, write up & event coordinator: Martin Agius
