The Magazine of Saskatchewan High School Writing Biography/Artist Statement: Chad Coombs I was born in 1982. I live in a small city in the middle of Canada. Nothing happens here at all, no fashion, no advertising campaigns of anything good, just all mediocre bland and old thinking. Every company and person in business is too worried about offending the next, so chances are hardly ever taken. So this all being said, it’s really hard for me to do anything but the images I create in my head. These images are with my friends and such in my bedroom studio I’ve created in my rental place. My bed is in my living room area. I use old studio lights from the 40’s, I think. The only way of lessening the power wattage is by taping transparent material over the front. Model lamps were removed to prevent fires from starting, and I’ll primarily use flickr for my photo hosting and ranting, which I do ALOT. I am very opinionated, but also firmly believe my opinion is not right, or wrong, but only an opinion, much like everyone else’s. I live for creating arguments and opening discussions, and I love debating controversial topics. Many of my images ask questions and give answers, and both can be interpreted in almost opposite ways if you look at them hard enough. This past summer of 2007, I traveled to New York where I met much of David Lachapelles’ studio and gallery staff. I met and photographed Amanda Lepore, all due to Paul (the studio manager) seeing my Milk Maidens tribute image of Lachapelles’ original up on flickr. After a few emails, and an invite to New York, I hung out for two weeks snapping photos and networking. I hope to go back soon. Nothing else really matters except that I have opportunity to create my images and then reveal them, and hopefully to get constructive criticism to further my next attempt. My next image is only as good as the next shot I take, so it better be good, is what I tell myself before I plan to execute my ideas. Primarily I live for commercial and fashion based shooting; sets, sets and more sets. I love building sets with things hanging from the ceilings and so windScript on. I can use Photoshop very well, but always try to do things in real life instead, by building instead of cloning. I dream of being the next Richard Avedone or creating masterpieces like David Lachapelle, but in the end, being only Chad Coombs. My inspirations are evident in my work, but as I grow and learn, more of me will be revealed and hopefully create some things new and never seen. Time will tell and my watch is ticking. To leave a small Canadian city bedroom studio and shoot on the shot would be a dream come true and one of the many steps I plan to take with my camera in hand. No matter what, this is just the beginning, the shot or no shot. Check out www.flickr.com/photos/unscene/ click, if you really feel brave. Chad Coombs Artist 4 volume 24 Chad Coombs
