GibsonGraphics - Nature series collage

"If we're destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another and all that stuff, there's got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that." #EllenDeGeneres

Zofia Chomętowska. Albumy fotografki

Zofia Chomętowska. Albumy fotografki 

Archiwum fotografii Zofii Chomętowskiej znajduje się dziś w dwóch zbiorach – Muzeum Warszawy (zdjęcia stolicy przedwojennej, wojennej i tużpowojennej) oraz Fundacji Archeologia Fotografii (zdjęcia z rodzinnego Polesia oraz z życia na emigracji w Argentynie).

W nowym, wspólnym wydawnictwie obu instytucji archiwum zostało scalone, by po raz pierwszy w pełni ukazać niezwykły życiorys Chomętowskiej – fotografki, kobiety niezależnej, odważnej i nowoczesnej. Publikacja składa się z 597 zdjęć zebranych w czterech albumach: Entuzjastka (1912–1935), Profesjonalistka (1936–1944), Dokumentalistka (1945) i Emigrantka (1946–1981). Odsłaniają one kolejne etapy biografii i silnie z nią związanej twórczości artystki, warunkowanej realiami politycznymi oraz poszukiwaniem odpowiadających im środków wyrazu. Podjęty przez autorki trud identyfikacji osób i miejsc utrwalonych na zdjęciach wydobywa rozmach, z jakim żyła aktywna zawodowo, atrakcyjna towarzysko, kosmopolityczna arystokratka oraz ukazuje dynamiczny fresk historyczny rozpięty pomiędzy Prochońskiem, Warszawą i Buenos Aires, obejmujący blisko siedemdziesiąt lat.

Wydawcy: Muzeum Warszawy, Fundacja Archeologia Fotografii

Premiera książki: maj 2016.

Photography Tip: One Camera, One Lens

by Dan Milnor in Dan Milnor, Photography Tips

I still prefer film. This reality prompts many questions about why I would prefer something considered outdated by many in my former profession. I prefer film for a variety of reasons. The lifestyle is fantastic because film doesn’t require computer time. I also love the old cameras I get to use, like my 47-year-old Leica M4, but what I truly love the most about film are the limitations that come with it.

Photographer Edward Mapplethorpe reclaims his famous name

August 7, 2016, 9:46 AM|In the 1980s, photographer Robert Mapplethorpe became a prominent figure in New York City's sub-culture of artists and performers. His younger sibling, Edward, a budding photographer himself, grew up idolizing his mysterious and exciting older brother. But the two parted ways in a nasty split, which sent Edward into a downward spiral motored by drug addiction. He rebounded, and is now creating his own artistic legacy. Serena Altschul reports.

Alternative Photography: Working with a View Camera

To photograph in film is one old thing, to photograph with a view camera is another level of vintage, and the effort is worth it. If you’re thinking of upgrading your analogue skills to large format photography, start off with the view camera — a camera obscura introduced in the late 19th century.

Always read your contracts!

"While the second agreement was more fair to the photographer, it’s notable that Condé Nast tried to get the photographer to sign an unfair agreement in the first place and only offered the photographer a more equitable agreement when they stood up for their rights."

Film News: FujiFilm Discontinuations

Sad news over the weekend from FujiFilm as they have made another announcement on their Japanese website. As we all know, these announcements are almost never good news. Unfortunately this one is no different, as FujiFilm have this time cut several multipacks and some sheet film from their already stripped range.

Warsztaty fotografii ulicznej

Photo by Tomasz Kulbowski

Zapraszamy na autorskie warsztaty, prowadzone przez Tomasza Kulbowskiego, w weekend 12-14.08.2016 w Lublinie. Będzie to kreatywne spotkanie, podczas którego Tomasz podzieli się z Wami swoimi doświadczeniami i przemyśleniami na temat fotografii ulicznej, a także praktyczną wiedzą. Tomasz zajmuje się fotografią uliczną od około 10 lat. Od tego czasu rzadko wychodzi z domu bez aparatu. Wierzy w wartość autorskiej dokumentacji rzeczywistości i rozwijanie osobistej, kreatywnej percepcji oraz wrażliwości wizualnej poprzez fotografię uliczną. Tomasz od zajmuje się promocją fotografii ulicznej i dokumentalnej, poprzez własną twórzczość, projekt Eastreet, a także poprzez warsztaty prowadzone w Polsce i poza granicami, z różnymi grupami, samodzielnie oraz wspólnie z innymi prowadzącymi (m.in. w kooperacji z WorkshopX). Obecnie realizowaną formułę doskonalił na ostatnich warsztatach w Mołdawii, Chorwacji oraz Tajlandii i uważa ją za najbardziej kompletną i efektywną.
