Book/Photographer research #5

Rena Effendi, a Azerbaijani freelance photographer has dedicated her work to focusing on themes of environment, post-conflict society, the effects of oil industry on people, and social disparity. One of Rena Effendi's early focus in her work was on the impact of the oil industry on people's lives. She documented her journey along a 1,700 km oil pipeline in Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey, collecting stories along the way. This work was published in her first book, "Pipe Dreams: A Chronicle of Lives Along the Pipeline," in 2009. In her second monograph, "Liquid Land," published in 2013, Effendi paired her own images with photographs of butterflies collected by her father, a Soviet entomologist. These images highlight the theme of fragility and environmental decay in Baku, Effendi's hometown. Effendi has received numerous international awards, including the Alexia 2018 Professional Grant, the Prince Claus Fund Award for Culture and Development, and recognition from World Press Photo, SONY World Photography Award, and Getty Images Editorial Grant. She was also short-listed for the Prix Pictet Award in Photography and Sustainability. Effendi is represented by National Geographic Creative agency and ILEX Gallery. Her work has been exhibited in prestigious museums and galleries worldwide, including the Saatchi Gallery, Miami Art Basel, Istanbul Modern, and the 52nd Venice Biennial. She has worked on editorial assignments for renowned publications such as National Geographic, The New Yorker, Newsweek, TIME, The New York Times Magazine, Vogue, Marie Claire, The Sunday Times, GEO, and others.

Rena Effendi is much like other photographers in the sense that she sees poverty or hurt and turns it into a project. Rena Effendi has many projects based around a poorer and more broken lifestyle. Capturing pictures of all ages around the world in difficult situations such as war, injuries, after effects of crime, being dirty, having little hygiene, and even living in homes made by cheap and thin materials. Rena uses her editing skills to help show the story behind the pictures, using pops of color to represent different cultures yet still keeping somewhat of a dull surface to portray her image of a more difficult lifestyle.

Personally I did not love Rena’s work, and that is nothing personal to the photographer. As I research more photographers and look over their projects I see how a lot of people capture similar stories; as mentioned above, they see poverty and broken lives and try to turn it into art. Though I am aware these projects shine light on the less appreciated, I become bored of seeing the same things over and over again. Because of this, one of my favorite projects by Rena Effendi was “Bengali Weddings”. This story is different from her others because it focuses on celebration, happiness, and the joining of two into one through marriage. In these pictures she uses brighter editing techniques to show the large amounts of color at these celebrations. She is able to show not only the wedding itself but also the getting ready process of the family and friends and even the multiple days of celebration that follows the wedding. This form of a project drew my attention because of the feelings behind the pictures, they did not make me sad but instead happy and want to see more than I was given.
