Delphine Diallo is a New York City-based French/Senegalese visual artist and photographer.

Graduating from the Académie Charpentier School of Visual Art in Paris, she started working in the music industry as a video editor and graphic designer, yet, storytelling through portraiture seemed to be always calling her. Then, in 2008 she relocated to New York to pursue photography.

Her career was boosted with a being mentored by wildlife photographer Peter Beard, a chance encounter with comedian Chris Rock that lead to working with him on the Total Blackout Tour, and a collaboration with artist Shepard Fairey on his “We The People” poster project.

Delphine’s work is defined by immersing herself in the study of anthropology, mythology, religion, science, and martial arts. We recently stopped by Delphine’s Brooklyn studio to talk about her work.

For our first show of 2019, cinematographer Adrian Peng Correia joined us in the studio. Adrian found his joy of cinema in college after leaving an engineering program to pursue history and sociology. Encouraged by a mentor at school, he immersed himself in film, devouring as many books on the subject as he could and renting hundreds of foreign movies at the campus video store.

In one film — Visions of Light — a bible to many aspiring cinematographers, he watched it over and over, cementing his goal to become a DP. With few contacts in the business, Adrian’s determination lifted him up from humble roots working as an entry-level PA in the New York film industry to becoming a leading director of photography for television networks and feature films.

On our year-end episode of ZEISS Full Exposure for 2018, we’re joined by husband and wife filmmaking team Rachel and Richard Prendergast. For their first narrative film, the UK-based production team unearthed a tender real-life story set in America.

Working with a tight budget, their home in east anglia doubled for Kentucky. They cast their daughter in one of the lead roles – and for the co-star, Sylvia the car, searched for a British model that looked more like a boxy American one.

Rachel and Richard joined us via Skype from Europe.

On this episode of Full Exposure, New York city writer, producer and director Eden Martinez stopped by the studio. A self-described “New-Yorican” who grew up on Manhattan’s lower east side, Eden found her calling at the ripe old age of twelve, falling in love with films like "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and "Jurassic Park" eventually finding a nurturing place in an after-school program mentored by local filmmakers and educators.

Today, Eden is a visual story-teller creating productions for leading commercial and non-profit clients and is rapidly branching out into non-fiction, dramatic and comedy narrative projects for film and television.

For Asif Rashid Khan, his love affair with photography began at age 14 when his father handed him a 35mm film camera. He never stopped photographing. Even taking a detour to get a degree and work in finance didn’t sway him from realizing his dream to make a career in photography happen. He eventually took the plunge to work full time as a photographer. He’s now a partner in a multi-national visual production studio.
