| Image Views: 2357 My first professional assignment was published this month in the cover-page of the Ask magazine, February, 2010 issue. "Ask" stands for "arts & science for kids". The photo-shoot was for the article "Fun with Mirrors", and the venue was Chicago's famous Cloud Gate [also known as the "Bean"], at the Millennium Park, which is a "giant fun-house mirror". My special thanks goes to Karen Kuhn, the Senior Art Director of the magazine, for giving me my first break, even after I explained to her that I was just an amateur. Her trust and encouragement means a lot to me. Also huge thanks to the kids. They were so much fun to work with. In fact "work" is not the right word. It was a fun-filled afternoon with some cheerful, smart kids and yes, I did take some photos too! The kids were having fun with their reflections, especially under the omphalos [or "bellybutton" of the Bean], where they could see themselves upside down, and I was happy clicking the camera, capturing the moments.. |
