Elliott Erwitt is the photographer who notices details that most people miss, situations before they occur. “There is really nothing mysterious about photography”, Elliott explains. “It’s about observing. Often it’s a matter of luck and circumstance. Hopefully I haven’t taken my best picture yet.”
The
exhibition at Fotografiska offers our visitors a unique opportunity for
to acquaint themselves with one of the world’s most acclaimed
photographers and see what he has captured. So far.
Today his images can be seen in museums and important collections all
over the world. But he has not slowed down; he continues to do
commercial work and take pictures for new books. So far he has produced
some 45 titles. “I like to see my photos in books. It’s an acknowledgement of my work.”
“I
want to evoke emotion with my photographs, to make people either laugh
or cry. If you can achieve that I think you’ve done well”, Elliott Erwitt explains.
