We are excited to feature Slobodan Dimitriv as this week’s Port PHOTO alumni feature! Slobodan’s photography documents cultural and occupational life. In many of his projects, he has found that in the minutia of everyday life there are elements of the monumental which are readily accessible photographically, and more importantly, recognizable by a vast majority of the viewing public. One such undertaking is the Long Beach Blues Project. It is a visual narrative on how occupational culture is portrayed through music. As Long Beach became a military transit point during WWII, as a Navy town, the Blues, as a music genre, became one of its legacies. The images shown here, are from the Parking Lot Portrait series, one facet of the Blues Project, where musicians gather before, between, and after sets, and engage in dialogue with each other.

We are excited to feature Lyn Watanabe as this week’s Port PHOTO Alumni feature! Lyn’s love for photography started with an old film camera, black and white film and many hours in the darkroom. The camera became her visual journal, documenting her travels, special moments and the people she loves. Before long, she also started capturing other special times and moments of others. Photographs are magical. They can stop time, capture a moment and teleport you back in time.

When opportunity presents itself, Lyn loves teaching others the techniques of photography in hopes that they also fall in love with the art and magic.

This week we are excited to feature Rejeana V. Bla

This week we are excited to feature Rejeana V. Black as the Port PHOTO alumni feature! Rejeana is a Long Beach based artist working in photography and video. She is currently pursuing her BFA in Photography at California State University, Long Beach. In 2019, she had a solo exhibition at the Dr. Maxine Merlino Gallery at California State University, Long Beach that explored epigenetics and ancestral trauma. Her practice has been influenced by psychological researchers, Dr. Joy DeGruy, Dr. Eduardo Duran and Carl Gustav Jung. Her work attempts to facilitate a conversation around how ancestral trauma is stored in our DNA and affects our mental health and daily lives.

Rejeana will be a part of the CSULB Photography BFA senior exhibition titled “A New Context” which launched on Friday, May 7 via the website www.anewcontext.com. More information pertaining to this exhibition can be found on Instagram @csulbphotocollective.

We are excited to feature Ashley Corbin-Teich as this weeks Port PHOTO alumni feature! Ashley is a photographer, art director and writer who makes commercial, editorial and fine art work. She is a storyteller who uses her art practice to explore, understand, connect and communicate. Ashley is inspired by nature, people, design, architecture, food, light, texture and the dance of daily life. She comes from a background of theater, performance and multimedia art practices and is especially interested in the intersection of fiction and non-fiction and both creating and telling stories. Lately she has been taking graphic design classes and delving back into more multimedia work such as bookmaking and learning sustainable building techniques, which get her off the computer and allow her to get her hands dirty and on physical things.
