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

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 This reality prompts many questions about why I would prefer something considered outdated by many in my former profession.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

A collection of fascinating articles on photography

There’s an inherent mystery to the art of photography. We often think of artists as controlling their materials directly: using their hands, they shape stone, trace ink, or apply paint. But photographers seem to work in a more oblique and indirect way, by capturing, staging, or framing reality. In the best photographs, real life merges with the world of art.

How is that magic accomplished? This week, we take you behind the lens with a collection of pieces about the art and craft of photography. There are profiles of Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Nan Goldin, Robert Mapplethorpe, Cindy Sherman, and Edward Steichen. Susan Sontag writes on how photography shapes our view of war; Janet Malcolm explores the question of how “realistic” a photograph can (or should) be. We hope you enjoy these glimpses of the photographer’s quest to, as Malcolm puts it, uncover a “work of art in the mess and flux of life.”

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.

Fujifilm wycofuje ze sprzedaży kolejne filmy

Photo by Fotopolis

Życie osób fotografujących analogami nie należy do łatwych. Średnio kilka razy do roku słyszymy o wycofywaniu z produkcji różnych materiałów światłoczułych. Teraz, kolejne filmy ze swojej oferty wycofuje Fujifilm.

Fujifilm z pewnością nie cieszy się ostatnio popularnością wśród osób zainteresowanych fotografią analogową. Wszyscy dobrze pamiętamy jeszcze sprawę z wiosny tego roku, gdy firma postanowiła zaprzestać produkcji ostatniego materiału natychmiastowego typu peel-apart na rynku - FP-100c. Mimo petycji i usilnych starań o uratowanie filmu, przedstawiciele Fujifilm pozostali nieugięci. W ostatni weekend z Japonii napłynęły kolejne smutne wieści.

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.

Bill Cunningham: Facades

"Fashion is the armour to survive the reality of everyday life. I don’t think you could do away with it. It would be like doing away with civilization" – Bill Cunningham

At the very sad news of his passing, we revisit an early series of work by the pioneering fashion photographer.
