Entrevista a Irene Kim
by Abel Ibáñez G.
What camera and other tools did you use to make this photograph?
Yashica Kyocera T4 super D.
Cuéntanos del lugar en donde se tomó esta fotografía. ¿Qué hacías ahí ese día?
This was taken at my friend’s birthday dinner at Belmonte’s in New York City.
¿Qué es lo que más te gusta de esta fotografía y por qué?
I love that you can sense the attitude and personality of my friends in this photo without even seeing their faces.
¿Lleva algún título esta foto? ¿Por qué se escogió este título? Si no lleva, ¿qué título le pondrías y por qué?
Clink!, to signify the martini glasses clinking as we celebrated my friend’s birthday.
Was there anything consciously that could be considered an influence or an inspiration within your creative process to make this image?
I just wanted to capture candid moments on film for my friend’s special day.
Cuéntanos algo divertido, interesante o intenso que haya ocurrido mientras tomabas las foto, o en algún otro momento del proceso (edición, revelado, planeación, etc.).
My friends were posing for another photo that my other friend sitting next to me was taking of them. I wanted to capture just their mouths, hands, nails and food. It almost looks like an intentionally cropped out photo of their face which I kind of like.
In this photograph did you do something totally different from what you normally do for other photos?
No, not really. I love taking candids of my friends when we’re all having a good time.
If you could have collaborated with anyone for this photo, who would it have been and why?
I really do love photographer Daniel Arnold (@arnold_daniel). He takes amazing candids in social events of his friends and colleagues, so collaborating with him would be super fun.
