CONNECTING MORE! WEEK 29: MOVING FORWARD INTO THE PHOTOGRAPHY QUARTER!

SUMMER IS HERE AND WE’RE STRIVING FOR MORE!

Things are ramping up and we’re not mad at it! Father’s Day is well on its way with Juneteenth not far behind. The Summer season begins with Fourth of July and Deadpool 3 (Deadpool & Wolverine) really to kick off some good excitement! With new work commissions and other associated projects, we’re helping others to increase their efficiency and effectiveness with visual communication including marketing and artistic apparel design. The Photography Quarter promises to be interesting if not fulfilling as well.

STAYING ORGANIZED

The key to doing business for us is in staying organized. One must know what’s coming in order to plan accordingly.

2024 THEME: “THE DICHOTOMY OF…”

2024 QUARTER 3: PHOTOGRAPHY Quarter / Month 7 - July / Week 29: PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECTS DEVELOPMENT)

WEEK 29 (2024) - ART & DESIGN TO PHOTOGRAPHY! STRIVE TO COMPLETE PROJECTS ALREADY PLANNED…with Vision enough to know what else is coming after.

This Week’s Project Activities:

• PRIMARY: DIGITAL PIECE as Supplemental or Complimentary to One Physical Piece.

• PHOTOGRAPHY QUARTER:

The task is for us to stay consistent with what we’re doing and producing. While Artistry and Creativity are the core of who and what we are, Entrepreneurship is one of the overall driving factors behind why we do what we do. A perspective of our goals is to bring meaningful and impactful products to market to Appreciate, Encourage and Inspire Black and Brown People, African Americans and People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture. This is the behind the processes of how we do it.

INSPIRATIONS: REPLICATION

While we are completing contracted and commissioned works thru our Subscription Services for Commercial Uses, we’re still working to develop our own custom works and IP. This year—as conforming to “The Dichotomy of…” 2024 theme—our custom Design work will be inspired by select African and Asian cultures. This selection is chosen due to the aesthetic importance and cultural heritage values employed. Our works are for product development and/or branding purposes and uses.

SUMMER IS THE PRIME TIME FOR PHOTOGRAPHY!

This Summer holds great promise for us! We are focusing our efforts on utilizing our time and resources effectively to create unforgettable moments and memories, all the while working on product development and service implementation. Through our photography endeavors, we are not only capturing images but also assisting individuals in unlocking their full potential and embracing their true selves.

This season, we are branching out into videography, filmmaking, and storytelling, expanding our creative horizons. Our goal is to produce unique intellectual property that resonates with people of diverse backgrounds, reflecting their experiences and making a meaningful impact. We are dedicated to shaping a better tomorrow by leveraging media production to inform and inspire change. Despite our constraints, we are committed to spearheading projects that hold significance. The time is ripe for us to step up and pave the way for the upcoming generations, offering them a world of new opportunities and potential pathways for their future journeys.

---

We’re striving to develop our IP as best as possible with products that are thoughtful and meaning to People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture. As we move forward our agenda to develop more, we’re still refining down what we offer and why. We believe in tremendous purpose in what we do because in the end it’s about more than revenue generation. It’s about impacting our clients, customers, audiences and communities.

Additionally, we’re getting ahead of things by engaging our plans for this Summer Season that coincides with our PHOTOGRAPHY Quarter. We’re encouraging our communities of Artists and Entrepreneur to get ahead of planning so they can gain perspective over what they need to do and be prepared for. With planning a constant and ongoing process, we encourage others to get on a regular schedule for what is and should be going on within their endeavors and enterprises.

THE ONCOMING PHOTOGRAPHY QUARTER!

View fullsize

Thierry Le Gouès: “Soul” (1996) - Kabakuru - Models: Alek Wek & Kiara

"Driven by the core values of intelligence, ethnicity, and innovation, we’re dedicated to harnessing the power of static arts to enlighten and empower People of Color, Ethnicity, and Culture. Through our work, we aim to redefine representation, educate, and inspire a brighter future for all, fostering understanding, appreciation, and progress."

Soon the heat will be on…and the people will be out and about. With so much going on around the world, the world sees constant and continual change. Thru the lens we’re striving to capture that change. Getting back into the artistry of using the camera to create, we’re looking to complete standing projects while engage new ones that go to the heart of life as we’ve known it. Our photography projects go directly to product development. Additionally, we’re striving to break into storytelling with our work. Stories that reveal the truths and hearts of People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture—we’re looking to transition into realms of artistry and creativity that we haven’t before. This is how we intend to grow.

THIS YEAR IS ABOUT DIMENSIONAL EXPRESSION

Consistent with the 2024 theme of “The Dichotomy of…”, we’ll be venturing into types and categories of Photography that truly engage Artistic Language and Aptitude. The starkness of Shape and Form that cultivate our paradigms about Art and Design. The ability for Art to Communicate is historic ways that transcend into the future. As we concern ourselves with the honesty and integrity required to claim artistic license and authority we’re fully engaged in discovering the deeper levels, possibilities and opportunities for dominating our of destruction; while striving to serve the African American and Black Spirit, we’re working to reign it in as well. Centralize it. Analyze it. Dismember it to understand the flaws and dysfunctions then to put it back together again to stand former and stronger into the future.

Summer 2024 is a time to attempt the capturing of African American, Black and other People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture as to further “stew the pot” that is rich and full of nutrient and flavor…with a monochrome lens.

BLACK IS ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL!

Always encouraging and inspiring. The POWER of the Black Woman is always easily recognizable. Residing within a profound identity of what others have aspired to become, the Black Woman—especially that of the African-American Woman who became something great out of the many levels of cultural dysfunction and systematic racism (that could only be specific and that of America)—nor her power never resigns from that place of prominence…and that is as it should be. Contrary—yet not in competition—with that POWER of the Black Man, she exists as to balance Life itself.

Just one man’s perspective and position on the Black Woman—the Woman of Color, Ethnicity and Culture. She exists beyond the “colonial” terms and definitions of beauty or even womanhood.

Despite the dysfunction I’ve survived and have come out of, I stand in awe of the strength, resilience, and grace embodies by Black Women. They are—YOU are—the pillars of our communities., the nurturers of our dreams, and the architects of change. Their power—YOUR POWER—is boundless, their voices are mighty, and their presence is transformative. To all the Black Women who continue to rise, your are the essence of excellence, and the world is better because of you.

—Liam Ian Black

ENCOURAGED AND INFLUENCED!

🖥️: BLACK and WHITE NUDE!

Yes, I have a thing for Art just like the next man might…but this right here is something that I’ve only entertained within my mind.

Source: Tumblr.com

Source: Tumblr.com

Knowing and understanding the place of Black Bodies within society, I enjoy the impression and expression this communicates. In this set—while I’m unaware of the author, models or even series—I see the female black body seemingly in want and demand. Unknown if she is grabbing herself while being embraced and then groped, there is passion here. There is desire and lust. There may be love but there also seems to be abuse and torture. The transition from the first to the second implies that there is want and desire and self-love because of it…but then too much desire—there is demand and need. Because of this demand and need, there is torture and pain.

While this was only recently found at Tumblr.com, I’m unsure of what the true meanings are but this is my objective view and interpretation.

I would love to reproduce a piece like this removing the often times sexist opportunistic paradigms or concepts that come with being a male photographer. This is a supreme type of artistry. This is worth making an independent project out of.

What do you see? What do you think?
