Anna Wilding – Moving between Mediums Key Skills Of A Creative

Anna Wilding There are many ways to either tell a story , or , as an artist, to be creative. I have a diverse body of work with certain subtexts and themes prevalent. These subtexts and themes are what drives me and compels me. I discuss these when my work is being screened or in art gallery shows or when speaking at events or panels. The mediums I use however, to deliver the work, can be varied.That may be unusual however for me it works as I like pushing boundaries creatively and technically .

One thing I learned based at the White House , coming from a feature film background and then moving back into still photography – where I was first published as a teenager in magazines, was that, as creator, it didn’t matter what medium I choose or end up telling the story in or creating the piece of artwork. That is part of my process.

For example, creating my Obama NFT’s has been a riveting experience on it’s own and certainly resulted in some stunning pieces that serve the purpose of my doing the work in the first place. NFT’s are non fungible tokens which some fine art and digital artists are using to create unique works of art that are tied to the blockchain as identifiers. Something like that. Many new platforms are setting up to sell these tokens and some platforms now even take credit cards, not only cryptocurrency , which means the art is now accessible to many collectors, including those not involved in the crypto market.

The crypto market is often in flux as the world learns more how to use and apply the new technology amd through all its trials and tribulations. Prices are going up and down so it is not great for medium to conservative investors. This article is by no means to be construed as any kind of advice whether to get involved in these new markets. One thing of concern is the environmental concerns in bitcoin mining . Many are working hard to figure out a better way and there are some promising signs.

Elon Musk recently caused a stir in the world by converting millions of his Tesla stock to bitcoin,then after learning more of enroimnemtal issues – converting it back to normal currency. Elon Musk said on twitter “When there’s confirmation of reasonable (~50%) clean energy usage by miners with positive future trend, Tesla will resume allowing bitcoin transactions,” Musk posted to Twitter, replying to a Cointelegraph piece . This news caused the bitcoin price to dip sharply..but then a few weeks later, he caused it to rise when he expressed belief that more responsible environmental management and positive development was happening and environmental cryptocurrency is being developed.

It is still a very new space and it will be interesting to see what develops. Hold onto your wallets no matter which kind of currency you use..traditional or new. But remember to support art, artists love their work being collected and art collecting can be great and very personal adventure. Be safe everyone.

Anna Wilding on Filming and photographing President Barack Obama and fomrer First Lady Mrs Michelle Obama

  Anna Wilding   The thing with tabloids and other sites they engage in not telling the truth to drive engagement. A great shame as great, real stories do not get out. So here are some fast facts that correct a tabloid headline. I have long said, for years, it was an honor photographing the Obama's and I exhibit my work to this day. Mesmerize by Anna Wilding and Celebrate Hope.   However I never did plan to sue the Obama's for copying one of my photographs for President Barack Obama's book. As both one of the top magazines in   Europe   -the Georgian Journal who interviewed me about it,  and American Slate magazine so rightly noted, I did not threaten to sue the Obamas publishers over Obama’s book cover. Nor did I ever say I would, nor was I even thinking about it. The fact I put out an instagram post pointing out the likeness of both photographs, does not mean I planned to sue. Why on earth would I do that ?Those words never uttered my lips. Makes no sens...

Anna Wilding on food as fuel for still editorial photographers, directors, filmmakers

  Anna Wilding    This subject matter is a bit off the beaten track for me, but it is what I do in my day to day life as a photographer and director . I do get asked this. In the  film business  I was working 12-18 hour days and at one point did 72 hours straight. I will never forget that. I was Art Director and Set Decorator and my business partner and colleague Production Designer was Jack C . We had some  ridiculous hurdles to cross including absurd time frames for set designs and builds. We met all of them of course ,with little to no sleep for 10 days, as that is just what one did in those days. Exhausting . All sorts of things come up in production. On another film we were filming on set in Los Angeles but the rest of the movie had shot in Asia. The movie used Asian coconuts which could not be sourced in Los Angeles. At 2am as we frantically tried to build a replica coconut, as it was an important scene . Funny but true.T...

Toxic male bullying and jealous men - & yes there are good men too...this isn't one of them

Image
Anna Wilding What women isn't sick of being bullied by toxic men in the workplace, online and elsewhere? Men tearing women down out of pure jealously and hate.  UNESCO recently completed a report showing that men tearing down successful women and form within , in their own professions, is happening at an alarming rate. I will add that link later. Recently I called out a fanatic who has been doing it to me online and inciting his online pack.  He has been doing it for three years..I finally called him out below after 3 years.. I spare myself the indignity  of reading his blog but I hear about it and seeing the fake misleading headlines. He has nothing on me, like other women, I have done nothing wrong. He prides himself on creating misery and has a history of doing so.. In this instance he is a kiwi and kiwi men have a long standing history of old school  chauvenism,  misogny  and politically tearing into ex pats -in spite of a female prime minister.I final...
