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 This reality prompts many questions about why I would prefer something considered outdated by many in my former profession.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."
