Much like his Canon AE-1 experience, Kevin found a plastic toy camera and loaded it up with film. Although not as fun, entertaining and valuable as the Canon AE-1, the GMTEX 403 that Kevin found brought many new elements to his photography.
Faces
Kevin wanted to pay hommage to his 365 Days project in a very short amount of time. Kevin with his girlfriend Katie set up a quick photo booth in their apartment and went to town.
The Photo Circus
As part of Nuit Blanche London, Kevin and two other photographers set up a makeshift fun photo booth in a parking lot and took pictures of random people dressing up. As the night went on this images were projected onto the side of a building for everyone to see.
Back to the Future
Kevin thought it was time to combine his education background in history with his love for photography. Kevin found some old photographs, took some new ones and mashed them together.
Get Mugged
Kevin spent an evening at Museum London to offer some photographic services in the form of a photo booth. Offering Mug Shot style photography, Kevin brought some fun entertainment to an evening event.
A Series of Shadows
For a week Kevin decided to photography a series of shadows as he found them out in the community. Far too often was Kevin walking around ignoring the unique and interesting patterns, shapes and images that light creates and he wanted to take a moment to capture this overlooked beauty and put it on display.
Red Chair Portrait
Early one morning Kevin headed out to find a random object that deserved more attention than it was getting. Kevin found a Red Chair and decided to spend an hour with it, putting it in the spotlight and capturing it's photographic beauty.
The Lot
Kevin took part in the 2010 edition of the London Fringe 62 Hour Film Contest. As part of a team who called themselves "Robot on the Rampage Productions" Kevin helped to create a short film over a single weekend.
100 Ways
In early 2010 Kevin asked his community how they believed London, Ontario could be improved. Kevin took their responses, printed them out and took to the street. Conversations began all over the downtown core about 100 + ideas on the future of the city.
365 Days
On January 1st, 2009 Kevin Van Lierop decided to take on a year long project that would help him to better understand himself as a person. Taking a photo of himself each and every day for a year, Kevin used imagery as a form of self documentation to track his life from January 1st, 2009 until December 31st, 2009.
AE-1
in 2009 Kevin picked up a film camera for the first time in his life. Buying a Canon AE-1 Kevin discovered his love for film photography. Sadly, due to the high costs of processing film, Kevin no longer shoots with a film camera and misses it each and every day.
The ‘Grickle’ Trunk
As part as the first Grickle Grass Festival to support sustainable living, Kevin donated his time and resources to set up a very last minute and make-shift portrait studio. Kevin did the most with what he had to work with.
