andreas gursky [abonnement gratuit] Andreas Gursky est né à Leipzig en 1955. Il a été l'élève à Düsseldorf du couple Bernd et Hilla Becher, photographes méticuleux et classiques de l'Allemagne postindustrielle. Il repère dans le monde entier des sites précis offrant une composition grandiose et classique. Il demande les autorisations, installe sa chambre et photographie. Veuillez noter : Il nous est extrêmement difficile de réunir les autorisations nécessaires à la présentation des photographies originales dans le texte et nous n'avons pas de budget pour la rémunération des ayant-droits. par Henri Peyre Andreas Gursky, Uni Bochum, 1988, 99,5 x 138,5 cm Andreas Gursky, Ruhrtal, 174 x 223 cm Andreas Gursky offre les images abouties de ce que peut être un travail à la chambre dans le format géant et avec utilisation du retraitement numérique pour amélioration de la qualité des images. Le choix des sujets non plus. En cela la photographie de Gursky dérange autant qu'elle séduit.

Shinoyama was born in Tokyo in 1940 and at the age of three underwent ordination rites to become a Buddhist priest. After leaving Light Publicity in 1968 to freelance, his creative energy and unique character and appearance made him a mass media star.

Review: Karyudo (A Hunter) by Daido Moriyama (Kodansha reissue) It seems safe to guess that many people will just hate the 2011 reissue of Karyudo (A Hunter) by Daido Moriyama. Instead of opting for the original layout the publisher, one of Japan’s largest and - as a Japanese student of mine told me - well known for its manga comics, produced a small book, with full-bleed images across the gutter (if its any consolation, the reissue of Japan: A Photo Theater even cuts up at least one image and produces two spreads out of it). I haven’t seen the original book (a quick Ebay search taught me I could either buy a copy or pay rent for half a year), but I’m absolutely loving this new version. Of course, I’m no expert on Japanese photographer. The full bleed, across the gutter format works very, very well with these often aggressive, visceral photographs. Highly recommended.
