Only 4 more days until “FROM THE GROUND UP” exhibition opening at Sleeping Giant Gallery! Want to know more about another photographer? Sure you do! Meet Zeekid!
Tell us a bit about yourself
I went to the University of Waterloo where I got my degree. Most people look at me, and noticing that I’m Asian, ask if I studied Engineering or Math. I’m guilty of the latter. That’s my analytic side, which, over the years in the corporate world has been beating down my creative side. I hope to one day combine my love of business, marketing and the arts to do something that I’m truly proud of.
Sounds awesome! Keep us updated on any future endeavours! So how did you get into photography?
I got into photography because my father is an avid photographer. People always talk about catching “the moment” on film where a split second earlier or later would have meant a missed opportunity. I remember looking at my dad’s old yearbook when he was the editor and photographer. I remember one captured “moment”. It was at a football game and one of the players launched himself in the air to catch the football. One of the opposing players tackled him mid flight, his hand securely grabbing his crotch. Catching that “moment” can become an addictive but fun pursuit.
Ouch! That’s why we’re armchair Quarterbacks! Haha! So where do you get your inspirations from?
I get my inspiration from the world around me. I love trying to slow myself down, to change my point of view and to find those things that most people walk past on a daily basis.
Who is your favourite photographer and why?
There are too many to list but I’m loving Nick Brandt for his amazing fine art wildlife photography.
We hear you. There are too many great photographers out there! What are you planning for Contact this year?
For Contact I’ll be showing a number of my photographs where I’ve focused on simple things like lines, textures, patterns, shadows, and light that would have been otherwise lost in a busy scene. When you step back you might not see those things but by carefully eliminating those extraneous elements something different emerges.
Last question! If you were a camera, what would you be?
Hmm, I would say a Nikon D3 for its amazing low light ability. I mean how cool would it be to see in the dark?
There you have it folks! Come out and show Zeekid some love!
Cheers,
Hitoshi & Vince
