Artist Talks - Diana Markosian
Diana Markosian Talk – The Photographers’ Gallery
As a part of my professional development planning blog, I
was required to attend multiple talks in regard to my studies at galleries in
order to gain further insight into my desired area of photography. I decided to
attend a talk at The Photographers’ Gallery in London, online, with the
photographer Diana Markosian who is a portrait, conceptual and documentary photographer
from Moscow whose work focuses on the idea of narrative and storytelling using
video and photography. Her work which has been documented in the remotest
corners of the world has been showcased in many famous publications such as
National Geographic Magazine, The New Yorker and The News York Times. With the
course with The Photographers’ Gallery, Diana Markosian showcased two of her
most recent and popular projects titled ‘Santa Barbara’ and ‘Mornings
with You’.
Whilst researching the work of Diana Markosian and attending
the online talk at The Photographers’ Gallery I realised a few similarities
between her work and my own. A lot of my photographic work is inspired through
the themes of storytelling, emotions, and atmospheres through both my
experiences in music and concert photography as well as my own editorial
photography projects. Attending the talk at The Photographers’ Gallery has given
a lot of insight into the way I portray my themes within my own photography and
how it can be further developed with my knowledge gained with the work and talk
supplied by Diana Markosian.
