 Leanne – Faye Tan  (b. 10 December 1999, Malaysia) is currently a student at Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus studying Foundation in Design. She made a choice of taking up this module (Introduction To Photography) as an elective to challenge herself and learn something that will definitely benefit her further studies. She always has a fondness towards photographs that holds a story or meaning behind it because photograph not only captures the aesthetics but also tells a story that fail to put into words. Her take on photography is to document individuals and the surroundings without affecting the nature of it. She had also developed great passion for black and white photography.


About The Photographs

“ISOLATION”.  Alone and set apart from the background. I always have a strong desire and need to work alone. This has led my subject matter of my series work to migrate towards individual souls shot against minimal background, finding solace from isolated strangers. My aim for this series work was to shoot strangers candid and without me (photographer) being seen so that the nature of the scene remains unaffected. The process of developing these pictures was basically setting up my camera at a chosen place and stalk until a subject matter appears in the frame. What I do find interesting from this social observation point of view is that it has fundamentally changed the behavior of the individual, to well, make them seem more individual. It makes me ponder on how every individual has a story to tell. And as my own fate and destiny would have it, isolation has ironically turned out to be the key to my own personal happiness, strength and creativity. This body of my work directly mirrors my own personality. Miraculously, the end result has become the sharing and expressing of my own self to the world through my solitude, simplicity and joy.

As for the technicalities, all the photographs were taken in between morning and the afternoon. When harsh shadows is intended, I shoot more towards the afternoon but when I want to achieve a subtle picture, I shoot earlier in the morning where the sun is not so glaring yet. The venues I shoot at are usually very minimal as I did not want excessive ornaments in the picture so that it does not divert the viewer’s attention. My series includes individuals in different motions, like walking, running and sitting. The range of aperture I shoot in was between F11 to F13 because I wanted a wider depth of field. As for the ISO, it ranges from 400 to 5000 which gives an abundance of light which I can easily underexpose it. Which bring me to the shutter speed, varies from 1/160 to 1/1000. In conclusion, this series has not only taught me useful skills of a photographer but also helped me see a different perspective of the world and helped me learn the impact a camera can convey.
