Ish | Photo & Video

[Behind The Lens - @tediousvisuals ] - PART 2 Behind The Lens is a photo series where I turn the camera toward creatives I know—photographers, filmmakers and artists. The goal? Capture them as they are and how they want to be seen. Personal branding, with honesty and style. Today we're diving into TediousVisuals, a UK-based videographer/photographer making waves. His creativity comes from life, nostalgia and gamification; world-building and escapism with embraced imperfection. "Games have always been a huge part of my life, whether I was making YouTube videos, playing them or just growing up on them. Halo Reach was my favourite game... I think that's why I always loved world building in my music videos." He also draws from peers and "the greats", Cole Bennet, Virgil Abloh, and especially Jamal Edwards: "I've always said it... he's incredible, always putting on for people and finding ways to push those around him... and I think that's beautiful." Aiming to inspire future creatives, Tedious uses his art to build opportunity. From a small town, he fights the barriers he faced. His style plays off his name, TDS, creating work that goes against the grain. His visuals are anything but "tedious": fast paced, glitch-heavy, world-building and unpredictable. From Underground Alt to mainstream, he aims to "blow minds" and break standards: "I have an audience of multiple labels... seeing that (his aftermovie) they'll say 'whoa, what the fuck? This is crazy'." He wants to run a festival or show in Burton, building a hub for young creatives and leaving a legacy: "I'm a people person, I struggle with trusting people, but I love the thought of making people smile, laugh and have a nice life." Tedious doesn’t plan to be the best, just to help the best. An icon in the underground and mainstream, he’s a genuine talent who creates, inspires and leaves space for others to do the same.

[Behind The Lens - @r04rigo ] - PART 1 Behind The Lens is a new photo series where I turn the camera toward the creatives I know and align with—photographers, filmmakers, and artists of all levels. The goal? To capture them as they are, and how they want to be seen. Personal branding, but with honesty and style. Today we will look at (brandon) rodrigo, videographer, photographer and editor. His visual style contains a multifaceted mix of differing attributes; from OG Hip-Hop artists such as Tupac, Jay-Z, Lupe Fiasco, to RnB & Jazz legends such as Janet Jackson, Quincy Jones and the James Taylor Quartet, only to name a few. Alongside the musical influences which drive his creativity, we have the other visual inspiration he draws from Games and Anime including Sonic, Persona, Shin Megami Tensei and the raunchy Newgrounds RPGs, paired with iconic anime such as DBZ, Evangelion & FLCL. Creatively, (brandon) rodrigo's visual style works as an "amalgamation" of things he loves and grew up with, stating, "the music I use is largely the skeleton for whatever I touch, editing-wise" dropping references and nods to his creative influences fueled by nostalgia and innovation, with the intention to pay tribute with his "own seasoning" within the mix. When it comes down to video-editing he says it "started out as a means of documenting memories... I like to get people, often behind-the-scenes on projects to speak a 'lil. Give them the flowers they deserve. I wanna bring everyone up with me." Check out (brandon) rodrigo's work (@r04rigo ) and make sure you tag anyone else you see as a good fit for this series.

[ NO MISSED OPPORTUNITIES | @prayforbarakah ] A stylised preview of the drop by 'PrayForBarakah', the first release of their clothing line featuring a beautifully printed logo on front and back matched tastefully with the motif behind the release. The motif that "there are no missed opportunities, everything you missed is not yours" speaks to an acceptance of life as opposed to a rejection of the uncontrollable nature concerning fate. The t-shirt is dropping on 07/06 at 18:00 GMT, site in @prayforbarakah bio. #islamicfashion #londonfashion #fashionphotography #editorialphotography #fujifilmgfx50s #fujifilmgfx #shotbysaintvisuals
