| Living Art: Photography and Painting Collide (Video) Posted: 23 Jan 2014 01:25 PM PST You might want to take a closer look… the TED Talk begins. The idea that things are not always as they appear is part of what makes photography and other art forms so fascinating. Artist Alexa Meade has taken that idea—that appearances can be deceiving—and has exploded the concept into an innovative artistic technique:
As she describes in the above quote, Meade creates a kind of living art by using people as her canvas—not painting something new on them, but painting what she sees in the scene already. She discovered this technique by accident, having originally wanted to paint shadows, capturing a certain configuration of light and darkness before it was gone. But in doing so, she realized: “I had turned my friend into a painting!”
And not only that, but she had (unintentionally) visually collapsed a three-dimensional scene into a living painting. Interestingly, this process turns one of the goals of many artists–making realistic, three-dimensional images on a flat canvas–on its head. Since then, Meade has found other unusual canvases to paint on, not just people, but a breakfast of eggs and sausage, or a juicy grapefruit. After completing the paintings, she photographs her work, often making the final result nearly indistinguishable from a traditional 2D painting.

| Tagging Along with an Action Photographer (Video) Posted: 23 Jan 2014 11:16 AM PST Scott Markewitz wasn’t always behind the camera. In his younger days, he was a pro mogul skier who saw photography from the other side of the lens. Often a ski model in movies and still frames, he became curious about photography. He was eventually inspired to buy a camera of his own, which launched his new career as an action photographer: Markewitz has thrived on action photography because he understands the sports he documents. He still skis, and he bikes along with the mountain bikers he photographs. This lets him get to the heart and soul of the sports. And the strength and endurance required of action sports helps him get to locations that other photographers can’t reach. His skill and knowledge also help with safety. Situations that look hazardous are not as dangerous as they might seem to an outsider. Markewitz knows what it takes to keep himself and the athletes he photographs safe.
Though Markewitz’s photography has shifted more toward commercial work, he uses the techniques and expertise he’s learned from action photography. Commercial photography requires a photographer to produce a good image no matter what the conditions. He has to work on the spot to create art from scenes, like wooded mountain bike trails, that may look monotonous to the untrained eye. The pressure to please clients is not unlike a physical competition.
Above all, the secret to Markewitz’s continuing success is his willingness to evolve as the industry and technology changes. His competitive, adventurous spirit prepares him for anything that might come his way.
