The FilmMosaic Project – Shane Rozario
The FilmMosaic Project
The “FilmMosaic” project is a way of seeing with my camera and mimicking the way I observe everything everyday. I find that my eyes dart to various parts of the subject that grab my attention and make sense of the big picture.
I wanted to reflect this way of ‘seeing’, in the portraits of these musicians who see fragments of the world through the people and the places on which their tours take them. They also have to make sense of the big picture from the segments they see while on tour.
Shane Rozario
Shane was born in Bombay, India in 1972. At the age of 11 he migrated to Sydney with his parents and 2 sisters.
While travelling the UK from 1998 to 2001, he photographed many bands and music festivals, such as Ben Harper’s “Will to Live” tour.
When he returned to Sydney Shane began working as full time Assistant for the Advertising Photographer Ian Butterworth and became involved in digital photographic reproduction on a Durst LAMDA.
Continuing his close work with independent bands, artists and music communities, Shane began to explore concepts and ideas which have led to the FilmMosaic series shot on film, of major music acts from Sydney and around the world.
Belco Pride – Lee Grant
Belco Pride
Triggered by a piece of graffiti, I find myself lost in the wilderness of where I call Home.
“I always believed it was the things you don’t choose that makes you who you are; your city, your neighborhood, your family. People here take pride in these things, like it was something they’d accomplished. Like the bodies around their souls, and the cities wrapped around those. I lived on this block my whole life; most of these people have.”
(Excerpt from Dennis Lehane’s Gone Baby Gone)
Lee Grant
Based in Canberra, Lee Grant looks after 2 kids, an online gallery called “Lightjourneys” and her photography business. She is also doing her Master of Philosophy (department of Photography and Media Arts) at the Australian National University.
Her work has been exhibited at various shows around Australia and the US, such as the “Kodak Salon“ (Melbourne) and the “PhotoPlus Expo World in Focus” in New York. Her work can currently be viewed at the Australian Center for Photography in Sydney as part of a group exhibition called “Inheritance“, and also as a finalist of the “Head on” Portrait Prize.
