It’s officially safe to call water photography a Southern California photography subgenre. You have Jill Greenberg’s Glass Ceiling and Tim Tadder’s Fish Heads and Water Wigs and Christy Lee Rogers’ Reckless Unbound and, now, we have a photographer who stripped the idea down to playing with liquid itself: Los Angeles photographer Andrew Hall‘s Liquids In Motion.
Christy Lee Rogers is a Los Angeles based fine art photographer. Her work deals with the body as it is obscured and complicated by water. She’s a native Hawaiian which we assume has something to do with her wanting to create this dialogue between humans and the ocean and other water masses. The result of this exploration are non-manipulated photos that look a lot like paintings.
Last time we checked in with photographer Tim Tadder, he was making some pretty fishy photos. He has a new project he shared that is very different but also uses water in an ingenious, manipulative way: he’s used water to make wigs. Water Wigs are a series of photos he made that use water balloons as the catalyst for bright, wacky photos.
Tim Tadder is a Southern California based photographer. His work tends to be very high gloss and masculine with his lens very often focused on athletes and persons in motion. His work has recently gotten some attention as he did a series of photos that are quite eye catching. The series is entitled Fish Heads and sees men and women going face first into pools of water, resulting in visually rich photographs.

May 29 at La Brea’s LAB ART will be an audial and visual presentation by Portugal The Man. We’re not sure how long it will be up (probably just for the night) but it will be presented by Tumblr. This will probably be very cool.
May 25 through June 12 at GR2 will be a showing of Eishi Takaoka’s sculptures. They feature lots of little faces (as you can see above).
MOCA PDC is welcoming former LAIY cover boy Chris Johanson for a solo show that will feature paintings, sculptures, and more. It’s called Within The River of Time Is My Mind and will be running from June 29 through September 22.
Coming May 26 and May 27 is the UCLA hosted JazzReggae Festival. You’ll get some pop and hip-hop and reggae and jazz and hear from artists like Santigold, Ziggy Marley, Common, and more. You can get tickets at Amoeba, too.
After our most recent pro-LA rant, we heard from reader Xárene Eskandar about an LA loving project she’s doing: she calls it Los Angeles County Weather Reports and they are Monday weather reports that represent her love for LA. Great concept!
