‘Silence Is…’ Short Film for Seeing Sound Exhibition

AaronK — Mon, 20 Jun 2016 06:02:15 +0000

As part of the 2016 Auckland Festival of Photography I created the short film above for the Seeing Sound multi-media exhibition at Circle Gallery in Newmarket. In the film Helena can be seen signing various phrases about silence. For example, one of the phrases is “Silence is a source of great strength.”

I deliberately chose not to include any sound or subtitles because I wanted the viewer to experience how frustrating it is when you can’t understand what someone is saying to you – something that deaf people have to deal with on a daily basis.

‘Don’t Look Away’ Short Film for Maggie Marilyn

AaronK — Mon, 11 Jan 2016 05:07:51 +0000

I’ve finally started experimenting with video. Better late than never, right?

While I was shooting a lookbook for Maggie Marilyn late last year, I also filmed the model walking back and forth in slow motion. Given my lack of expertise in this area I thought I’d better keep it simple (and I’m glad I did). I was pleasantly surprised with the end result.

The image above was my contribution to the Underground 2015 Fashion + Photography Exhibition which was held at the amazing Silo 6 space on Auckland’s waterfront during New Zealand Fashion Week. Curated by Chris Lorimer from Ciel PR, Underground showcases “work from some of the most experimental and boundary pushing fashion designers and image makers in New Zealand now.” It was an honour to be included in this year’s show.

Earlier this year I created these head shots for my good friend Lauren Shaw.

Lauren is an extremely talented actress and stuntwoman who has used her considerable skills to great effect on numerous movies and TV shows (including Zero Dark Thirty, Legend of the Seeker, Outrageous Fortune, and Sparticus).
