Fart Car '97 posted:Joey Lawrence owns because he just dropped a bunch of (trust fund money, afaik) cash on gear, and decided "i want to be a photographer," went out, taught himself photographer and traveled the world taking pictures. Joey Lawrence makes me absolutely jealous, he's only three years older than me and is already really successful. Carl De Keyzer is one my favourite photographers. He's a Belgian member of Magnum and is one of the photographers in the Belgian scene. He recently published a book on Congo and the remnants of the Belgian Colonial buildings there. I'm involved in a similar project and I'll be having an audience with him in february where he will evaluate my pictures. *glee*    Click here for the full 1280x421 image.

Oh god the dynamic range.  Is that something you'd only get with film?

 Photographer Eric Draper This picture was in a newspaper yesterday. I spent 10 minutes typing a post explaining why I liked this picture but I closed the window.  So quickly said, I love how there are so many elements that build up the image instead of cluttering it.It almost feels like the set-up of a play. The horrid sterile classroom. The man pointing at the TV which gives the picture's context. The stiff men in suits on the left. The American flag in the corner. Bush on the phone, facing away from the television and the images of New York.

I HATE CARS posted:Please go back and read (at the very least) the first 5 pages of this thread and you'll find your question has been answered. Thanks for making me go reread the whole thread, it was nice to see everything again. Frinkahedron posted:I've always liked Annie Leibovitz's portraits of the Bush administration that she did for Vanity Fair's An Oral History of the Bush White House Sorry for dredging up an old post but I wanted to add something about this picture. This shoot was talked about in Leibovitz' book At Work. Apparently lots of things went wrong. First of all they worked (for 2 days!) on a lighting set up for six people, but Andrew Card was asked to be in the picture as well and you can't really say no to the PotUS, can you? The picture isn't exactly a composite, but it is two medium format shots stitched together, which she does because she doesn't like the square format of her RZ67. In the end, the photo was trimmed a bit, which explains why Powell looks rather cramped on the side there.

Twenties Superstar posted:I'm sure there are people out there who would (wrongly) say that a photo taken with film is inherently better than a digital one but I don't really see what that has to do with this discussion whatsoever. And thank you for letting me segue into a photographer who I've been reading about the past evening, Andreas Gursky. A similar landscape photographer but he incorporates the people in such a striking manner, especially in the first three minutes of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TWtlhApag0 EDIT: Actually, on second thought, not really similar but any excuse to post that video.

I forgot Gursky was the reason behind the first "Is that art?" derail on page 2 of this thread. I think I just completed the thread's cycle.

Time for something unconventional. We saw a lot of autobiographical photographers in class today, but one made a huge impression on me. Richard Billingham's documents his family in Ray's A Laugh. His father is an alcoholic, his mother addicted to cigarettes and keeps tons of pets and his brother is a substance abuser. Originally meant to be used as material for his paintings, Billingham didn't care much for the photographic quality of his pictures. Using a simple 35mm camera, using the cheapest stores for developing, the series has a rather 'family snapshot' feeling to it. The pictures feel like they could fit in a family album if it weren't for the content. To me, it feels like a tragicomedy at times. We see the impoverish conditions in which they live and how they try to escape it. Meanwhile, we can see the affection in the family as well as the fights.

Michael Wolf seems to use Google Street View during his free time, as he has almost 5 projects dedicated to it. It's an interesting concept though. It's a slight twist to street photography, only a picture has been taken of a whole city and it's up to you to find the interesting events.

I blame the Dusseldorf School of Photography and Stephen Shore for that aesthetic. That said, I absolutely love that style but I can understand that it might feel a bit repetitive.

Frederik Buyckx, who's studying his Masters at my school*, got an honorable mention in this year's World Press Photo. On one hand, it makes me proud to be studying in the same institution as him. On the other, it makes me wonder whether I'll be even as good. http://www.worldpressphoto.org/awards/2013/daily-life/frederik-buyckx?gallery=6096&photographer=6971 *Or graduated, don't know actually but I did see him at school today so I dunno.

Reichstag posted:I tried to pick one or two to share but couldn't. Just trust me and click this link: http://www.alexandergronsky.com/#/portfolio/works/pastoral/ That series is more Breugel than Breugel himself. Another stroke of genius, it seems like there's a very subtle transition. It's especially clear in the thumbs. You first have the huge apartment blocks but it begins to transform into pure nature.

ansel autisms posted:Some more cliquish garbage from Robert Adams, who has only been admired because of his fantastic ability to take poo poo photos for idiots: I just saw the Robert Adams and Cartier-Bresson retrospectives in Paris yesterday in Jeu De Paume and Centre Pompidou respectively. I learned that I really really hate retrospectives. I came out feeling like I knew less about the photographer then before. Adams in particular was hard to understand. He's a ridiculously prolific photographer so if you only know him from his work with the New Topographics, you're going to absolutely be lost. I picked up this book at Jeu De Paume so I hope I won't be that lost anymore.
