DISH DISH: Christmas Special

DISH

“Christmas Special” leverages stop motion animation to bring the Spokeslistener, Snowman and woodland creatures to life in Claymation (think classic Chrsitmas movie Rudolph Saves Christmas). Unlike live action commercial shoots that usually wrap in a day or two, capturing stop motion animation can take weeks or months of filming to complete, as it involves manipulating three-dimensional objects in minute increments, at 24 frames per second.

“Born and brought up In bombay, I was part of the last of the generations who lived the analog life. tapes, cassettes, no cable tv, playing outdoors. growing up In the 80’s and 90’s, In chembur which was so multicultural.
I went to a convent school, had Maharashtrians, Sikh, Catholics, Gujuratis, Malyalis as neighbours, these were the times when we had a set of games for each season and time of the day/ night and almost all outdoors.”

“I graduated from St. Xavier’s Bombay, In Physics. I was already reading a lot of film books, biographys, film technique , some history. I wanted to study film making, but since I could not afford to go to film school then, I started with some odd jobs right after college, from selling Insurance to marketing ‘Colgate Total’ to dentists, to a call centre job. and In that time I had decided learning ‘on the job’ is the only way I could get closer to what I wanted to do. Thankfully, soon I got a chance to work on a movie as an AD and then after a year, started working with Suresh Natarajan. Which eventually led me to discover my love for the still Image.”

Why are you a photographer?
I got acquainted to the arts when In senior college, I remember I would sit In our beautiful library (St Xaviers Bombay) and read books on films, fimamkaing, film makers,even though I was majoring In physics.
So the shift had begun there. I was particularly drawn to the visual medium. It was the excitement of creating, the entire exchange of energies.
Each shoot day makes me happy. Meeting a whole new set of talented people each time I shoot, is exciting and stimulating.
Also the fact that I am getting to be a part of the most documented time ever (atleast till now) In ways of contributing pictures. particularly the portraits I have been shooting of Influential personalities of our times. that makes me feel like I am a part of something that will be around even after I pass. Even If It is In the smallest way possible.

Do you remember any decisive moment when you felt ‘I want to be a photographer’?
Not really. It was a gradual process. but I remember that I took It up as my profession only after I was convinced that I did not absolutely suck at It! ?

Were there any particular role models for you when you grew up?
No person In particular, films and books were a good Influence!

Who was the most Influential personality on your career In photography?
My ex-boss ‘Suresh Natarajan’ I learned the little that I know of photography In his studio.

How has photography changed over the course of the last couple of decades? Is execution/art direction more important than it used to be?
The biggest change has of course been the firm to digital transition, It happened quite fast like most things In the last decade. I would say It was a smooth transition. Over the years, the number of photography schools/ Institutions have also risen, which has resulted in more competent photographers.  Also digital photography is a lot easier In today’s online age. Its become simpler to shoot. and is not as technical as It used to be.

But creating a picture still requires the passion, the effort and the aesthetic. experience plays an Important part there.
The current state of print medium In India does not allow flourish for art directors and photographers to collaborate and create magic like they used to do earlier, So In that context execution, art direction and art directors (who are serious about print) is very Important!!

What do you think of the current state of Print Advertising photography In India? Is it at par with the work done worldwide?
I would speak from my limited experiences In India, the approach towards print is not as serious as It used to be, there are certain shifts that have taken place. While there are certain jobs that ensure a hard day’s shoot and a good night’s sleep, there are others that don’t excite you at all. I have seen and experienced the transition from creative driven work to client driven work.
Its always a pleasure to work with strong creative minds who push you/ argue with you and get the best out of the photographer. these shoots are what one looks forward to. It makes you uncomfortable and edgy and gets the whole energy rolling Into creating something worthy.

Where do you get your Inspiration?
From my memory- righty articulated by akira kurosawa In an old Interview he had done.
I used to read a lot and watch a whole lot of films. and am back to that again. It adds to the vast reservoir within your mind. Its always there.
I have maintained ‘observe, absorb, Interpret and express’ right from the beginning and this happens at a subconscious level
So one has to keep exposing oneself to stimulating material. One has to read more, see more, watch more movies, listen to more music.
I like to do my shoots without preparing too much on execution, I like to feed on my own spontaneity and of the talent, crew, music and the environment of the set / location. I try to keep It organic. You will see this In my work.

Was there any time when you wanted to quit photography?
Not yet!

Any current work In Indian Advertising that you find exciting? Especially Print?
None.

Whats your dream project?
I would rather make It awake project. Write a film and make that film! Haven’t started work on It though!

Who would you want to spend a dinner with?
Am thinking dinner date here. Cate Blanchett/ Mila Jokovich.
If someone from the past.
Then a drinking session with ‘Manto Sahib’ and some of his poet contemporaries.

Whats on your iPod?
Dont have one. But been listening to a lot of Chet Faker (Nick Murphy)

Vivek Mathew : Photography

Vivek Mathew’s tryst with photography began with a simple thought – capturing the brilliance of a moment. Doing what he does best, Vivek today, has travelled the world and experienced the essence of life, through his camera lenses. And it is an addiction he never wants to get over.
Having completed his education at Asia’s top notch institution – The Light and Life Academy, Ooty – Vivek has gone on to bring life into Fine Art, Architecture, Travel, Nature, People and Interiors, through his photography. Considered as one of the “Young and Unusual” photographers of today by the India Today Magazine, he has also been featured in prestigious publications – The?Times Journal of Photography, Time Out, Design Today, Better Interiors, National Geographic Traveller India, Forbes India, Smart Photography, Bangalore Mag, The Times of India, Femina, Classic Imaging and Women’s Wear Daily -New York
Adding perspective to his works are his exhibitions, which have brought to light several aspects of daily life. I.Opener in 2005 at the ‘Renaissance Gallerie’ focused on subjects ranging from still life to portraits to exteriors, as Waterborne in 2007 at ‘Industree’, experimented with ripples, reflections and patterns. His third exhibition at ‘Sublime’, UB City in 2011 – Canvas wall – was inspired by the rustic and the crude. His fourth exhibition, Perfect Imperfections, in February 2015 at the ‘Art of Delight’ dealt with nature and man-made pattern. His fifth and the most recent show, Yesterday Once More, in March 2017 at ‘Venkatappa Art Gallery’ was an array of architectural windows, chronicling time and stories, from different cities.

Why are you a photographer?
I loved seeing pictures as a child & loved how moments were captured and lasts forever like for example your parents wedding or your 3rd birthday party or your summer holiday as a kid & these moment can never be captured again. This got me interested in photography & I wanted to capture images which I see in my everyday life. So photography is my form of communication to the world & how I see life around me.

Do you remember any decisive moment when you felt ‘I want to be a photographer’?
I remember walking into family or friends parties as a kid & begging them to give me their cameras so that I can take pictures of the event. Those moments I remember I didn’t want to do anything else but to be a photographer as a kid itself. I think capturing the moment was something I enjoyed at that time & I still do. The decision I made as a kid that I wanted to take up photography as a career & I got a chance to follow my dreams.

Were there any particular role models for you when you grew up?
My mom Valsa Mathew who is no more now. I liked her for her integrity & grace & honesty.

Who was the most influential personality on your career in photography?
Pallon Daruwala & Paul Liebhardt. Both of them are great human beings who have guided me in my career & I love both their unique style in their photography. I met both of them when I was a student at the Light & Life Academy,Ooty & they came to teach a course there. I love both their works & a big fan of them. I look up to them even now & get guided by them from time to time

How has photography changed over the course of the last couple of decades? Is execution/art direction more important than it used to be?
Digital cameras are more affordable to many people & many people taking it as a hobby as compared to the days of film.

Good art direction/execution is very important to get great images. I have worked with many people but just a few of them are brilliant which results to great images. I feel it’s a few people who you have a great connection & also understand your work & style adds to giving you great images which lasts for a long time

What do you think of the current state of Print Advertising photography in India? Is it at par with the work done worldwide?
I feel there is downfall past few years that is related to print advertising. You don’t have many good art directors to work with. I work at the moment with small design firms, Architects & direct clients. I get the freedom to create images the way I like & most important is that the clients understand my work & give me the freedom with their brief given to me .

So over the past few years I have just worked with a few advertising agencies who I feel understands my work & works on creating a good images.

I don’t follow too much advertising work across the world . So I do not want to comment on it.

Where do you get your inspiration?
Seeing life & things around me. I love to listen to music, travel, meeting new & different people from all backgrounds, & also love to taste food.& drinks

Was there any time when you wanted to quit photography?
Never. At times freelance photography is tough but I believe in myself & my work. That is what keeps me going.

Any current work in Indian Advertising that you find exciting? Especially Print?
I don’t follow advertising work that much these days

Whats your dream project?
My dream project is to have my fine art photography work shown across the country & the world as exhibitions & show how I see life and things around me to people through my work.

Who would you want to spend a dinner with?
A person with interests which I can learn from & become a better human being & a photographer. The interests can be philosophy,art,food,music,etc.

Whats on your iPod?
Country music, Rock and roll, Pop, Classic Rock
