Os 50 fotógrafos mais influentes da década | Paraty Em Foco A revista americana Complex publicou em sua versão online uma lista com os 50 fotógrafos mais influentes da última década. Listas são desnecessárias, mas divertidas. Por trás de pequenas polêmicas, deslizes e alguns nomes que nada influenciaram a fotografia no período, a publicação conseguiu reunir ótimos nomes. A lista é boa. Acima, a cantora MIA em retrato de Ryan McGinley. Artistas elencados no ranking como Ryan McGinley, Gregory Crewdson, Jon Rafman, Alec Soth e Cindy Sherman, de fato estiveram no centro de discussões sobre a fotografia produzida no período. Mais do que criar imagens, estes fotógrafos também foram responsáveis por incitar reflexões de como criar imagens. A lista inclui também artistas não humanos. Na década em que câmeras de segurança e aparatos eletrônicos estão espalhados por todos os cantos, nada mais natural do que reconhecer que são as máquinas os maiores “exploradores” de lugares desconhecidos e os fotógrafos 24h por dia de tudo aquilo que acontece no mundo.

Fotografias: Conheça os principais filtros fotográficos Resolvi trazer para o meu blog, um dos artigos que escrevi no começo do ano passado (2007) e que está distribuído em vários sites fotográficos, além de grupos do flickr (se bobear deve estar em uns blogs também).Considero-o bastante interessante, por reunir em um só lugar todo o conteúdo sobre o assunto, que fui juntando aqui e ali em minhas andanças pela internet. Na época, não havia encontrado nada tão consistente e por isso resolvi compilá-los em um único texto, pois além do material que fui colhendo, pude ir percebendo o funcionamento de vários destes filtros e recheando cada vez mais este artigo. PARA QUE SERVEM OS FILTROS?Os filtros são acessórios que colocados na câmara permitem ao fotógrafo criar efeitos especiais, balancear as cores, corrigir situações indesejáveis e até mesmo proteger a lente. Ultra violeta Skylight Polarizador Elimina reflexos indesejáveis, tais como aqueles que aparecem em pára-brisas ou vidros de automóveis, de vitrines, água, janelas, etc... N.D. Cross Screen
