PRIMARY FLIGHT 2008 would like to welcome this years photographers / documentarians:
JEREMIAH GARCIA – N10Z
Jeremiah grew up surrounded with art and creative influences, often being exposed by his mother and close relatives to many forms of art and culture. Visual creativity has always been an integral part of his life, folding its way into his education as well. Beginning as early as junior high, Jeremiah was involved in commercial arts, concentrating mainly on graphic design with his school’s news publication. This involvement carried through into high school as well, where he studied commercial arts and graphic design, also being heavily involved with the news publication. Finding a love for this industry and excelling in it, Jeremiah went on to study advertising and art at Pepperdine University. Transplanting to Malibu proved to be a new creative experience providing completely different surroundings and types of people, as well as affording the opportunity to study in Florence, Italy on several occasions, including with an international assemblage of art students and professors at Studio Art Centers International.
Since earning his Bachelor of Arts at Pepperdine, Jeremiah has synthesized the many techniques and creative influences of his life into his own artistic voice that speaks thru eyes that have seen both the beauty and decay of the world. Jeremiah’s work is a hybrid of the graphic design that has become his lifeblood and the street art that represents the beauty and decay that is both a blessing and a curse of modern society.
MEADAURA
I do this for fun. As a photographer, I look for the small details, the different, and the quirky. Everything I’ve learned about the art of photography I’ve learned on the street, by lots of trial and error. My results are grander, more colorful than regular life. That’s the point of preserving a moment! The shots I produce come out more like caricatures than standard portraits. I do believe the camera steals a little bit of your soul, so if I’m going to shoot you I am going to find the best in you.
