The incredible Story Of Vivian Maier. Imagine this : perhaps the most important street photographer of the twentieth century was a nanny who kept everything to herself.
Nobody had ever seen her work and she was a complete unknown until the time of her death. For decades Vivian’s work hid in the shadows until decades later (in 2007), historical hobbyist John Maloof bought a box full of never developed negatives at a local auction for $380. John began to develop the negatives and it didn’t take long before he realised that these were no ordinary street snapshots from the 50′s and 60′s — these pictures were a lot more then that. Maier’s work is particularly evocative for those who grew up in the 50′s and 60′s because she seemed to stare deep into the soul of the time and preserve the everyday experience of the people. She ventured outside the comfortable homes and picturesque residential neighborhoods of her employers to document all segments of life in and around the big city. Interview: Extraordinary Up-Close Photos of Kenyan Wildlife by Anup Shah. Acclaimed wildlife photographer Anup Shah brings us a new, timeless series of images captured in Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve.
The black and white photographs bring us up close and personal with the wide range of animals found on the reserve—from elephants and zebras to tigers and crocodiles. Having grown up in Kenya, Shah brings a unique sensibility to this fragile world, which translate to photographs that demonstrate the unflinching power and beauty of these wild animals.
Shah's new book, The Mara, contains 100 original black and white photographs. "The images tell stories of anger, death, hope, arrivals and departures," writes Natural History Museum Publishing, "and provide a startlingly fresh and rarely seen view of the cycle of life in this world famous reserve. " We were lucky enough to make contact with Shah. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and what first drew you toward wildlife photography? I got frustrated with color wildlife photography. Never, I am afraid. Ummatiddle's Photostream. Erik Johansson. Work — Logan Zillmer Photography.

Paul Clemence. Chema Madoz el genio de la fotografía conceptual. Dicen que una imagen vale más que mil palabras, y con ésta única frase como introducción , creo que efectivamente las palabras sobran al ver estas fotografias de uno de mis fotógrafos preferidos que es Chema Madoz: "La fotografía, como sabemos, no es algo verdadero.
Es una ilusión de la realidad con la cual creamos nuestro propio mundo privado. " Se podría decir que cuando me empezé a interesar por la fotografía uno de mis primeros decubrimientos fue él , y quizás por ello le tenga tanta estima. Sus fotos son una mezcla de sencillez con grandeza. Andreas Gursky at C4 Contemporary- Artist Profile & Biography. German visual artist Andreas Gursky is often recognized for his enormous architecture and landscape color photographs, often using an aerial vantage point, frequently identifying systematized aspects of culture.
Prior to the 1990s, Gursky did not produce his works on a digital platform, though now openly discusses his dependence on computers to edit and enhance his pictures, as well as for the purpose of increasing the apparent scope of his subject in terms of size. .Critic Calvin Tomkins described the experience of confronting one of Gursky's large scale prints, "The first time I saw photographs by Andreas Gursky... I had the disorienting sensation that something was happening—happening to me, I suppose, although it felt more generalized than that. One, however, gets the feeling that much of the later 'serial' work is done more for the market than for the purpose of philosophical investigation or to fulfill a sense of 'completeness' of a personal collection. Joel Robison's Whimsical Photographic Abstractions of the Joy of Reading. By Maria Popova Imaginative visual vocabulary for that feeling you can’t put your finger on.
As a lover of books and advocate for reading, I was instantly enthralled by photographic artist Joel Robison’s whimsical visual abstractions of the reading experience and the joy of books that capture with equal parts imagination and reverence the familiar mesmerism of getting lost in a great book, the pleasure of curiosity tickled, and the explorer’s wonder of discovering new worlds. Some of Joel’s prints, though sadly not the reading ones, are available on Etsy.
