Raymond Sagapolutele


Raymond Sagapolutele

Raymond Sagapolutele is from the area of Manurewa, South Auckland. The photographer refers to himself as a "brotographer" as he used to be known for saying 'bro' all the time. Raymond use this term to describe himself. I really like his work because he takes a raw approach to his work he mainly captures public spaces. 

He started off taking photographs of landscape and realised that every photographer seemed to be also doing that. So he looked for subjects that would separate his work from everyone else. 

The artist really appreciates photographing places that wouldn't be considered photographic. Raymond seems to shoot a lot during the night when the places become empty.

I really like the way the light falls from the top and the light focuses on the face. I want to try and practice with this sort of lighting in my photographs or moving image.  



This is some work off Raymonds instagram. Taken by an artist named Linda Lepou. I really like the way the light falls from above and drops on to the red silk dress.
