Sue Anna Joe: Her Secret Life

This is not really a “contribution” to ricecooker, I pandai-pandai took it from her page on deviantart.com
After reviewing that CD by Inikah Hidup and admiring her photography used as the cover art, I decided to check out her brilliant eye and talent on the net and so here they are, all the links to her many web pages:

Hey Joe, you’re my dad! Hehe. Anyways, uhmm yeah i’ve always been interested to have a small lil exhibition of my works here, unfortunately i’m never too confident to, besides the fact, that i’m a bit lazy to go around and search for places or people to. So that’s why i’m mostly stuck on the net. Easy access, no need to carry my arse anywhere. So yeah.
It’d be cool, I most definitely would love to have my own show, sure you could tell them. And if they are interested, just tell me what i’ve got to do.
I’ve included my e-mail, so you could contact me for any further discussions.
And I don’t mind at all you featuring my works. I appreciate it.
Much Love,
Anna

Since so many people are “puji”ing you, I critic la can? NO offense, you are a hidden gem that presently enjoyed by people who know you but it is just a matter of time that you get famous etc etc…
I’m a fan too.
Does the mostly self potrait, of making yourself the subject a sign of self-love or self admiration? Does photographing yourself means less control over the result of the pictures? Much like the lomographers, that you don’t contribute that much to the result?
Why do you choose digital more than manual camera as your weapon of choice?
Is it true that you will be having an exhibition soon?
Thanks

Rupert:
:P Well, self-portraits because most of my pictures I take when i’m at home as I don’t go out too much. And to me photography is also an art form, a medium of self-expression. Thus the self-portraits, where I express my thoughts, my feelings, ideas or simply fantasies of mine. And indeed I admit, I love and admire myself, despite the flaws I have, but in a way it helps me boost my own personal confidence when I dare to show ppl what goes inside my mind. Sort of a window to my soul kinda thang.
However, i’ve been taking pictures of others as well. But not too many, since I can’t find the time to meet up, and also that i’m a bit malas. Since this is only a hobby, which I never really thought of making it a profession, but as for now it’s purely an ‘entertainment’ for me.
To be honest, I very much prefer manual. However, with film, it cost money, to buy the film, and to develop the film. Also since, obviously it’ll be perdy darn hard to take it with film, with digital, you immediately get the result, and can delete the shots that didn’t work. And believe me not every single shot I get i’m satisfied with. Also, there is alot of ‘oops’ shots. So uhmm that’d be quite risky with film.
I mostly use my manual for class purposes. And photojournalism. But as I said, I don’t go out much, so yup. And well digital is indeed more convenient. =]
Hmm, but I don’t think I quite understand what you mean by “Much like the lomographers, that you don’t contribute that much to the result?”. I’m not sure if I understood you right, clarify please?
I’m not sure what control you mean here, but from what I get… it does need more control then ever. I usually do a brief sketch in mind, of what pose and where. And consider teh lighting as well, not that I work with studio lights, no, but with whatever lighting I have, I try to control the environment surrounding me, also setting up the setting. Also that I do post process my works, in Photoshop, so doesn’t that mean I am in control of the result? Confused.
I hope i’m answering your questions.
As for the exhibition, it’s still all in planning. As a matter of fact, I have been invited to many exhibitions, but i’m just too malas to. I really dislike doing all that paperwork stuff. I was invited to do an exhibition in Amsterdam quite recently, among 15 other self-portrait photographers. Unfortunately, I was terribly busy with my studies that I didn’t have the chance to post my piece. And yeah, malas is always one of the reasons. As the exhibit in Malaysia (which I assume you’re talking about) is still in plan. And hopefully it works out!
If so, you’d better come. :P
