Photography Week 2008
Erin Patrice O'Brien is a photographer who is based in New York City. She grew up in Media, Pennsylvania. After graduating from Drexel University in 1992 with a degree in fashion design, she decided to pursue photography. In the past ten years she has shot for numerous magazines including Newsweek, Entertainment Weekly, and the New York Times Magazine and worked on advertisements for clients such as Comedy Central, XBOX 360 and USAA. She has plenty of funny stories about celebrities and even better ones about real people. The book, Mamás Adolescentes : NYC 2006-2007, is a photography project in which Erin documented the lives of 5 Mexican- American teenaged pregnant girls over the course of their pregnancies and during the first years of their babies' lives. All of the girls were patients from Adolescent OB/Gyn Clinic at Bellevue Hospital in New York City.
Adrian Kinloch has been taking photographs since age seven, when his grandfather gave him a 1930s folding-bellows Kodak camera. He grew up in Suffolk, England, and has degrees in visual art and third-world development from Staffordshire University. Adrian currently lives and works in Brooklyn as a graphic designer and photographer. His pictures run regularly in The Brooklyn Paper and have also appeared in New York Magazine, O Magazine, and on BBC.com. He also maintains the photo blog britinbrooklyn.com.
Although I have been making photographs for over 25 years, it was only in the past 5 years that I have been calling myself a photographer. Up until then, I considered photography a serious hobby while working my “day job” as an electrical engineer in California’s Silicon Valley. Photography is now my full-time passion. Most of my recent work has focused on architecture, urban landscapes and street photography generally, and more specifically on the Atlantic Yards project in my neighborhood of Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. For the past 4 years I have been chronicling the changes to the area within and around the footprint of the project.
