<br />
The first time I ever got excited about photography was when my wheelchair broke on a trip to New York City.<br />
<br />
I had brought a little point and shoot camera with me, like every tourist, and planned to visit all the major cites, but it seemed the universe had other plans for me. When I arrived to NYC, I found myself with a broken (airline damaged) wheelchair. With now no independence or way to get around, I was devastated.<br />
<br />
I spent the majority of that first day in my hotel room, waiting for the airline to deliver a replacement wheelchair so that I could at least have some form of mobility. In defeat, I sat sulking about how my trip had gone to shit, looking out the window at the city I had hoped to be exploring.<br />
<br />
Over the next couple days I would cycle through various hilarious wheelchairs, including an airport stroller and a granny scooter. I was far from independent but I was glad to at least get out. I wasn't able to make it to the major cites I had wanted but instead found myself spending the rest of my trip observing people, taking in the streets of new york....and taking pictures. <br />
<br />
And that's how it started. At night in my room I would flip through the photos on the LCD of my 4megapixel camera and get excited about what I had recorded. I loved the relationship I had to the images and to the subjects in them. It felt like storytelling, and I began to realize things about my own perception. Needless to say...I was hooked. The rest is history.<br />
<br />
Since then street photographer has always been something I go back to...and it will probably something I do forever. There is lots I want to say about it, but as a starting point I thought I would simply share some of the photos from that first trip...maybe not my best work, but cool to see where it all started.<br />
<br />
All photos taken over the course of 3 days in May 2006.<br />

Thrilled with having been selected to be part of the PhotoSensitive team, but nervous about doing my first photo-journalism job.<br />
<br />
My task was to spend two days photographing Easter Seals campers for the PhotoSensitive project Kids Who Can presented by Canon.<br />
<br />
Although I had heard about Easter Seals camp as a child, I had never attended myself. My mother always pushed me to go to camp but I was totally against it. I didn’t want to be labelled by disability, or associated with disability. Now however, the more I look at it, the more I realize that there is a story here.<br />

I spent most of my time with the younger kids in the Discovery Camp
program. My focus was not just to grab images but, having a disability
myself, it was important to me to connect with the kids first before
photographing them. I didn’t want them to feel self-conscious or that I
was an outsider, because I wasn’t one. I would lower the height of my
wheelchair (I can do that) so that I could spend every moment with
them....at their level, seeing things the way they were. Being able to
do that became an advantage in my photography, I never missed a
moment....so I could capture more, and at the kids' perspective.<br />

<br />
I think one reason it was so easy to connect with the kids is because I share so much with them. I know what it is like to be a kid growing up with a disability…but maybe its also because I act like a 7 year old.<br />

When I arrived, one of the counselors gave me a tour around the camp, it was all pretty magnificent, but when I saw the wheelchair accessible high ropes course, I thought, this is insane. This has got to be the best camp ever. That's when it really kicked in.<br />

<br />
The official launch of the Kids Who Can project was on March 16th at the Brookfield Place in Toronto. Over the summer of 2011, 25 photographers and videographers were sent to 12 camps across eight provinces. The result is a compelling and thought provoking show that I am so humbled and honored to have been a part of. Here are some images from the launch.<br />

Kids Who Can has been a project that has changed my life. I feel so lucky to have contributed to such an important body of work.<br />

There's something about the quality of natural light that I just find so magical. Really wanted to make use of that magic before it gets too freezing to shoot outside like this! How gorgeous is Magdalena?!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/6397253647/" title="1 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7034/6397253647_7eefe9ebf5_o.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="1"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/6397253475/" title="2 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6224/6397253475_774222828f_o.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="2"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/6397253527/" title="3 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7169/6397253527_a8f0b04e26_o.jpg" width="900" height="627" alt="3"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/6397253577/" title="4 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7001/6397253577_8a876c844c_o.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="4"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/6397253687/" title="5 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7008/6397253687_4bfe5a473c_o.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="5"></a><br /><br />Model: Magdalena @Elite Toronto<br />Hair/Makeup: <a href="http://blog.artistrhi.com/">Rhia Amio</a> @Plutino<br />Photography, Styling and Retouching: Maayan ZivMaayan Zivhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16900409371123814577noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4247260561145997779.post-34810301135386643412011-11-10T13:37:00.011-05:002011-11-10T14:12:29.269-05:00Mike and Mayoli<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/6332699482/" title="IMG_9790 web by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6104/6332699482_5c3e4bebb3_o.jpg" width="720" height="857" alt="IMG_9790 web"></a><br /><br />I haven't really shot many engagement sessions, but when my good friend from high school asked me if I'd shoot hers, I had to do it! We shot on the Anne of Green Gables bridge (from the movie) which was actually tipping a bit and made me slightly afraid for my life...but it was soo worth it for such a magical location! Here's a taste of Mike and Mayoli's session with me.

<br />Sometimes flexibility and spontaneity can result in great photographs. Since there was snow on the ground, I had planned to shoot Daphne in studio, against a seamless. But as she getting her makeup done, I was loving the natural light that was flowing into the space. I took a couple shots of her by the window and quickly realized, these photographs would be way more magical.

<br />
<br />Lately I have been having doubts about myself as an artist. Questioning what I am doing and where I am going. Questioning the purpose of my work, the value of it. I don't want to be another one of those photographers just taking "pretty pictures." Perhaps these are the questions that every living artist visits at times in their life. This summer has been one of those times.
<br />
<br />I have also been living through a mega time of transition, supporting my mother as she fights to regain her health.
<br />Spending this much needed time away from the city with my family, I have been photographing my little sister Talia (much like I did when I first picked up a camera). She is growing up so much and more beautiful than ever.

A few weeks ago I had been searching for the right spot for an upcoming shoot. I wanted something gritty (as I often do) and had been looking at different bridge options and road gutters. Originally I had envisioned something lighter and brighter, but I can get dark pretty quick. I stumbled across something perfect over twitter! Thanks to <a href="http://www.stevecarty.com/">Steve Carty</a> for tipping me off about this sweet location. Twitter is amazing.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4965873198/" title="1 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4085/4965873198_9479e9506c_z.jpg" alt="1" height="547" width="820" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4965880080/" title="2 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4126/4965880080_dd396c2294_o.jpg" alt="2" height="760" width="570" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4965276879/" title="3 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4133/4965276879_2741afde14_o.jpg" alt="3" height="760" width="570" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4965877662/" title="4 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4145/4965877662_64e1d85f14_b.jpg" alt="4" height="760" width="507" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4965279021/" title="5 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/4965279021_4c92893597_o.jpg" alt="5" height="760" width="507" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4965282561/" title="6 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4083/4965282561_68aed22366_o.jpg" alt="6" height="760" width="507" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4965881526/" title="7 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4088/4965881526_145b34db8b_b.jpg" alt="7" height="760" width="507" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4965283815/" title="8 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4145/4965283815_bafdeb71ef_b.jpg" alt="8" height="760" width="570" /></a><br /><br />and of course....I gotta add a Black and White or two...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4965875354/" title="9 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4108/4965875354_112404c74c_o.jpg" alt="9" height="549" width="1200" /></a><br /><br />the team:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4965345071/" title="IMG_2706 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4109/4965345071_449bf1bc54_b.jpg" alt="IMG_2706" height="570" width="760" /></a><br /><br />Model: Justin P (Elmer Olsen)<br />Hair/MU: Jaclynn LoFaso<br />Styled by: Jennifer WarneMaayan Zivhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16900409371123814577noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4247260561145997779.post-70574436209961274372010-08-26T01:18:00.030-04:002012-01-09T03:50:51.746-05:00Black and White Love<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4928197060/" title="Untitled by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4080/4928197060_5eca8655f0.jpg" width="546" height="760" alt="IMG_1295_4" /></a><br /><br />I've been holding back posting these for a little while now but I've decided to finally put together a little blog post about a recent shoot. I've always been a huge fan of black and white (you may know if you follow my <a href="http://maayanziv.tumblr.com/">StreetSnippets</a>). I love the simplicity of BW, it's so straight forward and yet so romantic. And so...Keeping that in mind, and everything else I love about Black and White, I put together this shoot with the help of an amazing crew. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4928752672/" title="2IMG_0864_final by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4134/4928752672_38c866e9e1_o.jpg" width="507" height="760" alt="2IMG_0864_final" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4928752934/" title="IMG_0982_2 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4115/4928752934_3fa2625807_o.jpg" width="507" height="760" alt="IMG_0982_2" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4928158439/" title="IMG_0932_3 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4097/4928158439_e2afd40ccd_b.jpg" width="536" height="760" alt="IMG_0932_3" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4928754034/" title="IMG_1198 3 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4143/4928754034_91ebe9e29b_o.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="IMG_1198 3" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4930822892/" title="IMG_1061_4 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4123/4930822892_67e3f74314_b.jpg" width="507" height="760" alt="IMG_1061_4" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4928159463/" title="IMG_1154_2fnl by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4073/4928159463_ce16bab197_b.jpg" width="507" height="760" alt="IMG_1154_2fnl" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4928754112/" title="IMG_1233_2 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4102/4928754112_253ff785c7_o.jpg" width="507" height="760" alt="IMG_1233_2" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4928159969/" title="IMG_1296_2 by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4114/4928159969_468d524e54_b.jpg" width="518" height="760" alt="IMG_1296_2" /></a><br /><br />Isn't she stunning?!<br />Model: the gorgeous <span style="font-weight:bold;">Anastasiya Z</span> from Elmer Olsen<br />Make-Up/Hair: the brilliant <span style="font-weight:bold;">Jaclynn Lofaso</span><br />Styling: the oh-so-chic <span style="font-weight:bold;">Jennifer Warne</span><br /><br /><iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CV7yW2ZBtK8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />and here's Jaclynn pouring her heart out:<br /><br /><object style="background-image:url(http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/gcIZ3CHIf_I/hqdefault.jpg)" width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gcIZ3CHIf_I?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gcIZ3CHIf_I?fs=1&hl=en_US" width="425" height="344" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><br /><br />Silly huh?

I've been meaning to write this blog post for a while now, every time I go to do it I get discouraged. Where to start? Inspiration. Blank page please inspire me. I wait...Nothing. I think to myself: don't force it, be patient, inspiration will come when its ready...<br /><br />Tonight it has come! I've been inspired to finally write about inspiration. And it's a good thing too cause my blog is in need of an update!<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br />Inspiration is a funny thing. It's <span style="font-weight:bold;">intuitive</span> really I think. Some people say just look for it and you can find it but I find rather that it comes when I am actually <span style="font-style:italic;">not</span> looking for it, when and where I am least likely to discover that hint, that tingling spark, that is when I discover inspiration. <br /><br />Today I found inspiration looking at a tree. I was strolling solo through a forest (a girl can do that sometimes right?) and found myself in front of this huge and fantastic tree. I maybe stared at it for 10 minutes. My mind was swirling through ideas of possible shoots and stories based around this one tree. (ridiculous? maybe...probably)<br /><br />Inspiration can come from anything anywhere. From nature, from people, from art, from music, from a time of day, from a smell, you name it. For me, I get a lot of my inspiration from people I see on the bus or on the street. Maybe it's the street photographer in me but I'm always looking at people when I go out and I find that often they can inspire me, whether it's because of their clothes/style or even just because of a certain mannerism or body language they carry. I always get a good kick out of pedestrians! (<-may have just classified/defined myself as a total creep).<br /><br />Also, lately I've started an <span style="font-weight:bold;">"inspiration box"</span> where I collect images and textures/fabrics and theater scripts and songs and anything really that inspires me. Some items I save for reference of future shoots I have ideas for, it's a great way to remind me of the things I come up with when I first "get inspired." Also the box is good for when I feel uninspired or need some kind of kick to get my creative juices flowing; inspiration for a rainy day perhaps.<br /><br />One thing important to mention is this: <span style="font-weight:bold;">don't be a copy cat.</span> To me, bluntly imitating another's work is like stabbing your own creativity in the heart. or back. whatever's worse.<br />Its easy to get caught up in inspiration, to let other's great ideas be so inspirational they take over your own. Inspiration is a starting point, it's important to remember that. If you've been inspired by a photo in a magazine lets say, the photo you've seen shouldn't be the end result, don't model your own work strictly by another's. Add your own thing. Be you and create something new out of that inspiration. That's the best part (and the point!) of inspiration -using it as fuel to create your own work of art!<br /><br />In summary of my (possibly overwritten) blog post...<br />• Inspiration can come from anything, be open to it<br />• Don’t push it. Inspiration is intuitive, be patient and keep your senses open.<br />• Not in the post but…spend time immersed in things you love, they will usually inspire you. Some examples: music, good food, friends and family, (all those generic things) and some of my personal ones: Sun, cats, my sisters, the city, lychee martinis lately…gotta be careful with that one…and photography!!<br />• Try keeping an “Inspiration Box” full of items and photographs that inspire you. It can be good as reference for future shoots or also help to get you in a creative mood.<br />• Use your inspiration to create not imitate!<br /><br />Enjoy and run free with your creativity!<br />Hope this has been helpful!<br /><br />Maayan ZMaayan Zivhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16900409371123814577noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4247260561145997779.post-79615431409183371842010-04-20T19:59:00.023-04:002010-04-24T19:29:02.775-04:00Shooting A Designer ShowcaseRecently I've had the pleasure of working with a creative team to shoot a showcase for several upcoming young fashion designers in Toronto.<br />We shot at an awesome location; a large empty space with lovely natural light that flowed in through the large windows that were everywhere.<br /><br />The team was great and they all did a wonderful job at putting together this fun shoot.

I tend to focus on the conceptual aspect of a photo much more than I do the tech. Don't get me wrong, I totally feel the value in knowing your stuff, any good photographer needs to know how their equipment works, (this way you can know how to put it to work the way you want!) however I think that technical elements of photography should never overpower your image. If the numbers become the emphasis, you've probably lost me. <br /><br />For me its about the visual image, about the conceptual process. Once I have that I figure out what I need to do (or learn) in order to make my imagination a reality in a frame. <br /><br />I know I have so much to learn technically but I'm just taking it day by day, photo at a time, project at a time.<br /><br />What do you think? What's your take on creativity vs tech?<br /><br />Maayan ZMaayan Zivhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16900409371123814577noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4247260561145997779.post-12283014091178015212010-03-28T01:54:00.019-04:002010-10-06T01:40:48.176-04:00social networking sites and street snippetsA year ago if you'd ask me I'd tell you I wasn't too keen on putting much more of me, past my photos, on the internet. Things have changed!<br /><br />I'm learning social networking sites can be a great place to share work and connect with others and for a photographer that can be a really great thing!!<br /><br />I've had a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/maayanziv">flickr</a> for a while now but over the past few months I've slowly made my way through different sites, setting up my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/pages/Maayan-Ziv-Photography/55944031056?ref=ts">facebook</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/maayanziv">twitter</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/mzivphoto">youtube</a>, and <a href="http://maayanzivphoto.blogspot.com/">blogspot</a>. I've learned a lot of interesting things about how to work the net and am meeting a lot of cool people on the way! I'm slowly getting comfortable in the social net seas and yet I realized I've been neglecting tumblr.<br />I've seen some really cool tumblr accounts lately and it has inspired me! <br /><br />Tonight (or this morning rather) I'm bravely venturing into tumblr territory.<br /><br />As I spent some time today organizing my photo libraries, I came across a lot of older photos that I never really took any notice of and it gave me an idea...!<br /><br />Classic Black and White street photography is a big love of mine and I've decided to dedicate my tumblr to it!<br /><br />I thought tumblr would be a great place to share some of the street snippets I come across and so <span style="font-weight:bold;">Everyday I am going to aim to post one candid street photo I've taken (whether new or old) and share them with you!</span> I'll try my hardest to keep it up, and if I don't manage to post a new photo everyday, I promise I'll compensate with TWO the next day (or cupcakes if all else fails).<br /><br />So here's to my experimental tumbling time!<br />Let me know how I do and if you have any suggestions!<br /><br />Lots of Love.<br /><br />Newly Tumbling,<br /><br />Maayan Z<br /><br />p.s.

That looks like this:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maayanziv/4384153090/" title="Untitled by Maayan Ziv / simplesilent, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2800/4384153090_891e8778fa.jpg" width="346" height="500" alt="" /></a><br /><br />I've got to say, this has been one of my favourite shoots yet! It was a lot of fun to put together and we all had a blast painting the lovely subject Maaor Ziv (name resemblance? yes. she's my sister!). <br /><br />We started out all proper, with sponge and brush work but after a couple minutes, we soon realized that this was an awesome opportunity to practice our finger painting skills! There were rubbing painty hands all over her. Check it out:<br /><br /><iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jMomZDAvpWg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />What you wont see on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/maayanziv">Flickr</a> are these shots from the bathtub!!!

(just proves you should never put your camera away till you've left the site!)<br /><br />And don't worry, the bathtub is squeaky clean now! (nothing a little bleach can't fix!)<br /><br />Okay that's all for now! I've got another film shoot this weekend at my studio. Hopefully I'll get some good behind-the-scenes to post up!<br /><br /><br />Bye for now!<br /><br />Maayan ZMaayan Zivhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16900409371123814577noreply@blogger.com1
