Rinko Kawauchi Research

In this post, I would like to research about Rinko Kawauchi...

 Rinko Kawauchi

The Japanese photographer, Rinko, was born in 1972. She graduated from Seian University of Art and Design, Japan. She began her career in commercial photography before moving on to contemporary and Artistic photography later. It was driven by Ms. Takei, her personal manager. This made her start taking artistic photography seriously. and has published several photo books to sell later. 
Kawauchi's images give an intense, almost hallucinogenic perspective to everyday events.

Her photographs, which can be of city streets, flowers, oceans, or a dead deer by the side of the road, hardly ever feature people. In a series of photographs titled "Illuminance," Kawauchi alludes to concepts of dreams, temporality, and the divine. In one photograph, for instance, taken at the bottom of a set of stairs leading to a subway station, commuters make their way to the exit as a ray of diffuse sunlight descends the stairs, giving the ordinary a transcendent quality.

“People often say that I have a child’s eye. For example, I stare at ants gathering around sugar, or when I seek shelter from the rain, I gaze upon snails. These are things which you often do when you are a child aren’t they? I have a very similar sensibility to that.” - Rinko Kawauchi
After getting to know the thoughts and views of Ringo is sincere feelings with seeing the world in different perspectives for each person and transmit it for others to experience. It through our eyes and feelings with the medium being that image.  Just have a smartphone in your hand. With feelings in mind, anyone can take beautiful photos. (That's not only beautiful in the picture), but still looks smiling and full of memories like Rinko Kawauchi's picture comes out easily.More than that, it's a very good idea that I will apply to my photography work in order to develop more that is not only about the background of the photo but also the sincerity put into it.

    Okay I am not sure sincerity is teh key to good photography - I think perhaps you need to discss the photograph and think more technically about how these work and then consier how you use this in your own work

Software testing : Canva

Today I am testing canva website and I am going to try a magazine template.  First of all. I opened canva website and then I log in with my google account.      Then I searched in the search box for magazines. Then after I searched that it will pop up a new window with a blank paper on the right and for left side is templates to choose.   I chose this template because the promotions of images and articles fit quite well with my work. After that, I tried to put images from my website that are free copyright images from unsplash. I clicked upload on the left hand side and then upload images from my computer. To sum up, after I tried all 3 programs: Flipsnack, Yumpu and Canva. I think all 3 programs have different advantage such as canva website it doesn't need to convert images to pdf before put on the programs. So I decided to make my online magazine on the canva website.
