Lenny Gerard has Pop Sonality!

 

💥¿Quién eres? Soy una persona optimista no binaria con el deseo de usar mi privilegio para hacer del mundo un lugar mejor. Me preocupo mucho por la comunidad LGBTQIA+, el alojamiento de personas sin hogar y la comunidad BIPOC. También creo que tenemos un sistema de salud mental que no funciona, que debe arreglarse. Planeo comenzar una organización sin fines de lucro y continuar mi trabajo humanitario en los años venideros.

¿A qué te dedicas? Mi verdadero nombre es Leny Behar pero me hago llamar Lenny Gerard como artista. Soy un espíritu creativo con más de 10 años de experiencia trabajando en agencias y organizaciones de arte, moda, música, belleza y entretenimiento. Me especializo en brindar a los clientes una fuerte presencia visual a través de fotografía, videografía, diseño web, marketing, redes sociales, animación stop-motion y dirección de arte. Fui a la Escuela de Diseño Parsons, donde obtuve una licenciatura en fotografía (2010-2015) y una licenciatura en música; ahora, además de trabajar, me dedico activamente a mis artes visuales y mis talentos musicales como pasatiempo.

Influencias e inspiración: Me inspiro en varios artistas: Yayoi Kusama, Robert Mapplethorpe, Francesca Woodman, Johannes Vermeer, Ryan McGinley, Man Ray, Hans Bellmer, surrealista, Polaroid/film, o fotógrafos de naturaleza muerta, editores de video, gráficos diseñadores y pintores.

I care about the LGBTQIA+ community, housing the homeless, and the BIPOC community very much. I also think we have a broken mental-health system, that needs to be fixed. I plan on starting a non-profit and continuing my humanitarian work for years to come.

 âś¨ @ypatia_kornarou has Pop Sonality!  ✨ Pop Sonality: How do you feel when you see a great find for a photo? How does it make you feel to see what you know is a good motif for a photograph?  Ypatia Kornarou: Because of social media and the internet in general, photo viewing is a condition we have to deal with every day. In the “age of the image” the difficult thing is to discover qualitative “visual field” invested with an interesting narrative. When finally a photograph can and does contain the elements, the motif that will give it an interesting identity then the feeling is one of surprise and relief about the art of photography. The constant search for quality frames will always be the purpose and the reason for the development of a visual artist. ✨ Pop Sonality: ÂżCĂłmo te sientes cuando ves un gran hallazgo para una foto? ÂżCĂłmo te hace sentir ver lo que sabes que es un buen motivo para una fotografĂ­a? Ypatia Kornarou: Debido a las redes sociales e Internet en general,...

🎄 Manolis Lioudakis has the Pop Sonality!

 đźŽ„ @manolislioudakis has the Pop Sonality!  Who are you? Hello, I’m Manolis. I’m from the greek island, Crete. I live there and I’m the owner and chef of a restaurant.  What do you do? Photography is the way I have chosen to communicate with people around me. I can’t tell if I succeed on it or if I can inspire someone through my photos. I usually post my work on social media without any description, leaving them open to any interpretation. I try to give my photos an emotional sense so that the viewer can create their own story with them, without me having to guide them.  Influences and inspiration: The first photographer I was into and inspired me to pick up a camera on my own was Ren Hang. Later, enjoying the local photography group I learned many great photographers who shaped my artistic perspective. But since I’m just a person after all, I spend also a lot of time on social media and I love a lot of photographers that Wikipedia doesn’t write about.
