Rob Woodcox, A Surrealist Fine Art Photographer and Film Director Behind Book "Bodies of Light" | 1/1 with Sloika

Rob Woodcox, A Surrealist Fine Art Photographer and Film Director Behind Book "Bodies of Light" | 1/1 with Sloika

On this episode, listen to the interview with Rob Woodcox, a fine art photographer and film director currently living between Mexico and the US. As he creates each artwork, Rob strives to capture fragments of a vivid life sewn by the threads of reality, memory and dream.  Each concept is a declaration of his experience and seeks to tell a meaningful story to each individual that views it.

Rob's passion for photography has developed into a dedication to advocacy; he has produced projects raising consciousness and conversation around the US foster system and adoption, queer identity, body neutrality, racial equality and environmental justice.  Having been adopted as a child and interacting often with the foster care system, Rob creates from a unique perspective, finding hope in human connection and the will to overcome negative constructs within our complex societies.

In 2013 Rob went through his own "coming out" experience, a societal passage only necessary from the lack of education and acceptance within the greater population. Though a challenging and demanding experience, Rob used this energy to pursue his photographic goals full time and began touring the world teaching workshops and creating sponsored content. Rob has taught thousands of students in 6 continents, 15 countries and over 35 cities worldwide. He has been featured in various major publications, exhibitions and has produced commercial work for clients like Apple, Universal Pictures and Capitol Records. In 2020 Rob released his first photographic art book "Bodies of Light".

In 2021 Rob took on his first directorial film role in "We Are Molecular" in partnership with Dr Barbara Sturm and the Royal Ballet in London. He continued his film debut directing his first music video "Spiral" alongside Ry X in 2022, also developing his first 2 short films. His work was seen in museums and festivals globally. He continues to embark upon new personal and client creative endeavors in both photographic and film direction.

Ashok Sinha “Gas and Glamour” Celebrating Architecture From the Golden Age of the Automobile | Episode #52

In this final episode of 2022, we chat with Ashok Sinha about his love for cool cars and architectural photography launched the journey to create his book, Gas and Glamour. He jokes that the project was more than just a way to escape in-laws during family visits to LA but truly was a passion project. Before knowing the body of work would become a book – and more recently, an NFT series of 1/1 images –  he knew he wanted to draw loving attention to the original buildings that were designed to celebrate Los Angeles’ original love affair with the car culture of the ’50s and ’60s. Some funny things happened while shooting the project and Ashok shares his favorite stories about an LA shake-down, a neon windmill, free pizza, and a giant drive-through donut. Recorded December 21, 2022.

Our speakers: Ashok Sinha and Pam Voth.

Collector Tomakinz (@Tkcurated) – No Silos and Walled Gardens | Episode #51

In this Monday episode, collector Tomakinz (@Tkcurated) joins us from the Sunshine Coast of Australia. He’s been collecting since the Crypto Punks and Kitties were called decentralized apps, not NFTs. He had some of those and really misses them. His collecting has expanded to include art and photography. He’s come to realize that he learns a little more about himself with each piece he collects. Tk’s hope is that this NFT art space will evolve to be a trustless place with “no silos and walled gardens” where we can all just be humans enjoying the experience of creating, selling, and buying art.  Recorded December 19, 2022.

Our speakers: Tkcurated - Tomakinz, Subodh Shetty, Ev Tchebotarev, HChip, Michael Hartley, Kirit Prajapati, Levin Art Group, Prakash Gai, and host Pam Voth.
