In this presentation Mindy and RA show some of their work, talk about their project and discuss their methods of approaching photography - Mindy who shoots intuitively, and RA about medium format photography.

New York photographers Mindy Veissid and RA Friedman believe that wherever you are there is fascinating raw material to use to create eye-popping photographs. A study in contrasting ways of working and seeing, Veissid, whose camera of choice is a Canon DSLR with a 24mm-70mm zoom lens, and RA Friedman, who will use a medium format 40 year-old 80mm fixed focal length Hasselblad with b&w film, plan to artfully illustrate this idea by pushing it to its maximum while documenting and sharing their discoveries.

The camera work the two photographers will do promises to result in a new and resonant body of images filled with pairings of colorful and richly textured b&w photos. Veissid and Friedman will mutually agree on a subject and will create contrasting renditions showcasing how each has a unique approach and photographic eye.
Mindy and RA will work with minimal camera equipment - 1 camera and 1 lens – no flash, no tripod. They will photograph intensely over 5 days in five random locales. On these jaunts they will also do short slide shows of their work and Q&A presentations in high schools and local community groups. They aim to bring their unique photographic techniques, methodologies and working philosophy directly to young photographers and creative enthusiasts, inspiring them to follow their own vision.
