Our instagram Suggestion for this Wednesday takes us to the United States; to Rochelle Dy, a photographer of Dutch origin who’s been living in New York since a few months ago.
A graduate of the School of Fine Arts in analog photography, specialized in urban photography and script writing, this artist attempts to capture moments that surround the act of painting which writers who are immersed in their pieces cannot see, or can not portray, thus showing the process from different angles. Sometimes it’s with a single image and in other cases in a series format, especially when there is more than one person working on a wall.
Her work also caught our attention because, apart from being photos of writers in action, the spectator cannot participate with these images. They can just take a respectful glimpse from a distance and perceive a more intimate and humane view on graffiti writers.
Going deeper into this, we like her interest in observing the observer in some of the photos, where she takes the viewer even further away from the scene, assuring them that these are no-risk views, accentuated through her great use of black and white.
In short, this is someone who deserves to be followed.
