Lauren Grabelle: Instagram Takeover

This week, Lauren Grabelle (@laurengrabelle) takes over our Instagram feed!

HI! I'm Lauren Grabelle - @laurengrabelle / laurengrabelle.com - a freelance fine art and editorial photographer based in Montana. Last summer I was privileged to be nominated to be a 2014 #LOOKbetween attendee. For the next week I will be sharing my ongoing series “Surveilling the West” which is my view of the visual surprises that the West offers and the ensuing shattering of stereotypes of a celebrated region as depicted in images of the land, its people and animals. I'm starting off the series with this image of a buffalo on display in a case in a trailer park in Kalispell, MT. #Montana

@andy_bardon /// 2014 #lookbetween attendee /// Is it possible to create a regenerative gemstone that is actually beneficial to the environment & our oceans ? Do we as consumers of material goods actually value sustainability in the manufacturing process ? Are we willing to pay slightly more for such goods? Would our buying habits change if we knew the detrimental environmental impacts of purchases ? /// Over the next week I'll be answering these questions, and certainly posing many more as I present a series of images of sustainably harvested black pearls from the @kamokapearl farm in the French Polynesia. ///

Hi there, I’m Maddie McGarvey (@maddiemcgarvey), a freelance photographer based in Columbus, Ohio. I had the pleasure of being a 2014 #lookbetween attendee this past June. This week I’m going to be posting images from a project I’ve worked on for the past four years called “Legacy of Daughters”. It started as a project documenting grandparents raising their grandchildren and has focused specifically on the women in one family. I’m looking forward to following them through the years to see the paths they take in life. This is one of the first pictures I took of Lorrie and her granddaughter Paige.

Yuyang Liu: Instagram Takeover

Follow along as Yuyang Liu (@lyyblack) posts from his project Neither Here Nor There on our Instagram this week.

Hi, I'm Yuyang Liu from China, one of the #lookbetween 2014 attendees. I will be taking over the@look3festival account this week, bring you some photos taken in China. My Instagram is @lyyblack, and you can also find my photo essays on www.yuyangliu.com. This is one image from my ongoing project #NeitherHereNorThere. A 22-year-old young man Shen Jiayao was born in the small village of Wengdun, hundreds of miles away from Shanghai. He leaves the village to study at university in Shanghai. When Jiayao returns home, he finds Wengdun is no longer where he belongs yet Shanghai is a hotel for him. He cannot stay in Shanghai easily for policy and economical issues. He is caught in a limbo of uncertainty. This image shows Shen went through the smoke with an umbrella, Shen's mother set off firecrackers to celebrate Shen's admission to the graduate school in Shanghai, and widely spread this information to make his family proud.

Sara Naomi Lewkowicz: Instagram takeover

Follow along as Sara Naomi Lewkowicz (@saranaomiphoto) takes over our Instagram feed this week.

Hello! My name is Sara Naomi Lewkowicz, I am a graduate student, documentary photographer and was fortunate enough to be a 2014 #lookbetween attendee this summer. You can follow me at @saranaomiphoto. This week, I will be taking over the #look3festival Instagram feed, presenting some images from an as-yet-untitled body of work shot entirely on #fuji #instax cameras. The work is a personal meditation on the blurring of the lines between my working life as a documentary photographer and and my personal life. I am exploring how the medium of instant film photography changes how I shoot, how I see, and how I compartmentalize different aspects of my life. In many ways, the uniformity, spontaneity and aesthetic limits of the medium force me to blur the lines between those compartments, which mirrors the blurred lines that sometimes result from my very close relationships with my subjects. Anchorage, Alaska, March 2013 - This is Kayden, one of my subjects from a project I did on domestic violence. Kayden, like many little boys, is obsessed with superheroes, and this imagery became a fairly ubiquitous theme throughout the second chapter of the story. #lookbetween #instax #fuji #documentary #iamterribleathashtags

Andrew Renneisen: Instagram Takeover

Follow along on the @look3festival Instagram this week as Andrew Renneisen (@arenneisen) takes over our feed.

Hello everyone. My name is Andrew Renneisen (@arenneisen) and I was a participant in this year's #Lookbetween 2014. I had such an amazing time and came home quite inspired. This week I'd like to share with you a project I've been working on about a group of rappers trying to make it big in the North Side of Syracuse, New York. Rap music in Syracuse has a violent past, so making it big in the city is almost impossible. The group has to balance their rap lives with work and family, which can be difficult at times. Here, Kuntry listens to his own mixtape while smoking a blunt. The group calls themselves Moneybag Movement, and they plan on using hip-hop to achieve a better life.
