Works of Tetsuya Tamano

Here are some samples of the work of Tetsuya Tamano.
Tamano Tetsuya developed this body of work during his residency at Fábrica, Benetton’s communication research and development centre. When asked to develop a visual project to depict his view of contemporary society, Tetsuya came up with these strong and often disturbing images; he worked using digital technology, so as to better express his world views, and in keeping with Fábrica’s philosophy, in its role as an applied creativity laboratory (its name comes from the Latin word meaning workshop), of experimenting with new forms of communication.

Digital Creative Jeffrey Sebastian Lecture

Visiting Lecturer Jeffrey Sebastian (2003 graduate of Petra's Visual Communication Design major /DKV'99), who's currently a digital creative freelancer, gave a showcase of his works yesterday in class, and revealed a recent project and case study from client Star Mild's ad agency. You can see his resume and some of his works on his site at creativetrees.com.

This will be followed later this semester by a three-day Digital Imaging seminar and workshop scheduled in the end of May. The event will bring in some of the top photographers and digital creatives from Jakarta to explain and demonstrate to us about the DI industry and also the whole process from planning to execution. The seminar will be open to the whole Visual Communication Design department. The 2-day-workshop, however, will be limited to the XP Class.

Fine Art Photographer Kaoru Tohara

I finally got in contact again with one of my professors Brenda Mitchell, and her spouse, my mentor-friend fine art photographer Kaoru Tohara, whom I've had worked for also. I remember those days working with Kaoru setting up and sorting out about 700+ photos shot for an online TOEFL test. Anyway, this is his website www.sureshot10x.com with his most recent works of Portraits and Pittscapes (Pittsburgh cityscapes) you should check it out! I see his works as genuinely spirited, and also something that has to be seen/or met in real/in person. All works are silver gelatin prints.

A Documentary Photo Exhibition "Spirit of Purity: Sedulur Sikep (Samin Community)" by Pieter Dwiyanto

There's going to be a Documentary Photography Exhibition today at the French Cultural Center (CCCL) Surabaya. It's by a Visual Communication Design alumni of Petra, Pieter Dwiyanto, whom created the documentary for his Final Project. He spent about a month in the secluded Samin community around Blora and Pati, Central Java. His interaction with them has continued since, and has brought him to this exhibition where he'll also invite Gunretno, a local figure from the Samin community, to have an open discussion during the opening. All are invited. It's up until March 11th.
