Lets face it, the photo world is one of the snobiest worlds you can find. How often do you hear, oh he is just a point and shooter? or He shoots digital. Todays post is a response to this, since I have produced for you guys three pieces of art using the cheapest cameras you can find : a 40$ fisheye, a holga and a two megapixel HP digital camera that I found in the garbage. The last camera has a broken focus so everything that is further than one inche is out of focus.

The strip, 2008 shot on broken hp digi-cam

Dance, 2008 shot with a holga using x-processed E-100 film

Card Shark, 2008 shot with a fish-eye using HP5 film

These image were shot for my Silence and solitude serie. Some of may of seen piece of it on my facebook group. I first started shooting this serie earlier this year when I spent a certain amount of time alone to meditate.

Thw goal of the serie was to focus spaces and odities while being sure that no one was in the images. Paralel to the production of this serie if have also been working on a serie called Nom Identité, this serie features self portraits made in these same locations, the image from the first post is from this serie.

A Day with Annie-Claude

2008-10-28T19:15:00.000-07:00

Meet Annie-Claude, she is a good friend of mine.

Just before she left to Milan, we decided to go out and shoot on a beautifull afternoon. I shot the pictures in less than an hour using only the available light. Since I used 160 Vc film the colors are fabulous ( do not be fooled by the poor quality of the scans).

Hope you enjoy.

One the of projects that has been taking a large part of my time lately, is not linked to photography but djing. I have been djing in huge parties in Montreal, for the night school co. The events shown above happened at club Academy on boulevard Saint-Laurent. Here are some of the shots from these evenings. I like the very graphic feeling to them.

Here is a link to one of my mixtapes : http://ogariepy.com/ihaveadreammix.mp3

2008-10-27T21:15:00.000-07:00

Just a crazy idea I just had, a blog where I post my most recent reflections on photography. Being a photo student at Concordia this blog will be the ultimate platform to show you guys my latest work.

The shot shown above is a self portrait part of my serie ''Nom Identité'' that I am currently working on.
