We talked to Brian Ho better known on Instagram as @bho_biscuit and shared with us two of his favorite shots and the story behind them.
“These two images were taken in the winter of 2019, at the time I was living in New York and partaking in my very first photography class ever. It was at a point in my career where I was really getting burnt out with the type of content I was creating and my work in general.
Despite feeling relatively experienced with photography in both an artistic and professional capacity already I was curious to explore the world of institutionally taught art and to see my world of photography in a new light.
The class was extremely rigorous and pushed me to shoot more than I ever had before and with a stricter eye than I was used to. Our professor ended up being a mentor to me and really pushed me to think about my personal voice when creating.
These two shots were created as part of an assignment exploring motion and movement through photography. The studio portrait is of my then girlfriend shot using rear curtain sync strobes and gelled constant lights. I was sick with the stomach flu at the time and unable to leave the apartment forcing me to get creative and shoot the assignment in a different way.”
“The second image is a composite of two images, one from a classic Chicago parking garage and one I had made earlier in the week with my roommate. Again, because of my limitations I was forced to explore other mediums and means to create new work by combining old work in new ways.”
