For 40 years David Barnett has been involved in photojournalism. His camera does not hunt for beautiful landscapes and seals - it targets important events that become symbols of the era. David's photos allow you to look at the world from the outside. His works are a living history textbook, which instead of dry facts demonstrates the bright events of our time.
I like David. While other professionals buy themselves, it is worn with an ancient Speed \u200b\u200bGraphic camcorder that is 60 years old. Of course, he has expensive professional equipment. But, apparently, he understands perfectly well: an expensive camera is a nice bonus, and not a prerequisite for a good shot. A true master can make a good shot even with a "soap box" for 30 bucks.
- A simple example: In 2000, David won the Eyes of History competition by taking a picture with a $ 30 Holga cheap plastic camera.
When Helmut was a teenager, the Gestapo arrested his father. Newton fled Germany and moved to Australia, where he served in the Australian army until the end of World War II ... It seems that this is how you need to write a description if you were bitten by a Wikipedia moderator.
Biographies of talented people often look too flawless, like a VIP room in a private clinic - just as sterilely clean and far from real life. German-Australian photographer, worked for Vogue magazine, sometimes shot in the nude genre ... This short retelling does not give any idea of \u200b\u200bwho Newton Hellmuth was.
And he was a sincere snob without megalomania who loved the brilliance of high society. He preferred to take pictures of wealthy people and stay in luxury hotels. And he spoke honestly about it, considering himself a rather superficial, but truthful person.
Until the moment he survived a heart attack in 1971, Helmut smoked 50 cigarettes a day and could party for a week. But a heart attack revealed to the 50-year-old photographer an incredible truth: it turns out that a riotous "youth" lifestyle with age can end very sadly.
Having been on the verge of death, Helmut gave up smoking, began to lead a more measured life and promised himself to shoot only what is interesting to him.
Helmut Newton on the things he hates:
- I hate good taste. This is a boring phrase that suffocates all living things.
- I hate it when everything inside out is cheap.
- I hate dishonesty in photography: pictures taken in the name of some artistic principles are fuzzy and grainy.
Yuri Arkurs is one of the most successful stock photographers in the world. Instead of photographing sunrises and fog in a city park, he photographs what is on sale: happy families and pills, money and students. And on special sites called photo stocks, all this is bought and sold. And in this area Arkurs became a real guru, who by personal example showed how you can earn money, achieve heights and even have fun doing commercial stock photography.
Yuri was born and raised in Denmark. He started making money on photo stocks in his student years to pay for his studies. At the time, the only model he could shoot was his girlfriend. But soon the additional income became the main one for Yuri: a few years later, in 2008, he earned up to $ 90,000 a month on photo stocks.
Today this guy sells his work to big companies: MTV, Sony, Microsoft, Canon, Samsung and Hewlett Packard. His shooting day costs $ 6,000. And this whole story became a real fairy tale about Cinderella for freelancers with a camera.
How realistic is it to repeat this path to success? Who knows. We can only state that today Yuri Arkurs is one of the most successful stock photographers.
Irwin Penn loved to photograph, but did not attach much importance to this hobby. His main job was art design: Irwin designed magazine covers and even got a job as an assistant art editor for the popular Vogue magazine.
But cooperation with eminent photographers of this publication did not work out. Penn was constantly dissatisfied with their work and could not explain to them what he needed. As a result, he waved his hand and took up the camera himself. And how did he take it: the pictures were so successful that the authorities persuaded him to retrain as a photographer.
Irwin was the first to start shooting models against a white or gray background - there was nothing superfluous in the frame. His incredible attention to every detail earned him a reputation as one of the best portrait photographers of his time. Which allowed Penn to shoot various celebrities, including Al Pacino and Hitchcock, Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso.
Gursky inherited his love for photography from his father: he was an advertising photographer and taught his son all the subtleties of his craft. Therefore, Andreas did not hesitate with the choice of a profession: he graduated from the school of professional photographers and the State Academy of Arts.
Understand correctly, I'm not talking about this because my Wiki-Moderator syndrome has worsened again. It's just that Andreas is one of the few photographers from our rating who thoroughly approached this lesson, and did not take pictures by chance.
After completing his studies, Gursky began to travel the world. Experimenting and gaining new experience, he found his own style, which is now his hallmark: Andreas takes huge pictures, the dimensions of which are measured in meters. Looking at their reduced copies on a computer screen, it is difficult to assess the effect that they produce in full growth.
In order not to shoot Gursky, a panorama of a city or a river landscape, people or factories, his pictures are striking in their scale and a kind of monotony of details in the photo.
Ansel Adams has spent most of his life shooting nature in the western United States. He traveled extensively, photographing the wildest and most inaccessible corners of the national parks. His love for nature was expressed not only in photography: Ansel actively advocated the preservation and protection of the environment.
But what Adams didn’t like was pictorialism, popular in the first half of the twentieth century, a method of shooting that made it possible to take photographs similar to painting. In contrast, Ansel and a friend founded the f / 64 group, which professed the principles of so-called "direct photography": to shoot everything honestly and realistically, without any filters, post-processing and other bells and whistles.
Group f / 64 was founded in 1932, at the very beginning of Ansel's career. But he was true to his convictions, so he retained his love for nature and documentary photography until the end of his life.
- You've probably seen the screensaver on your desktop, which depicts the Teton Ridge and the Snake River against the setting sun:
So, it was Adams who was the first to capture this landscape from this angle. His black-and-white photograph was included in 116 images that were recorded on the Voyager's gold plate - this is a message from earthlings to unknown civilizations, sent into space 40 years ago. Now the aliens will think that we don't have color cameras, but we have good photographers.
I love Sebastian's biography. This is a natural evolution that happens to any idealist throughout life.
This story was told by Salgada himself in an interview when he visited Moscow in February 2016. At the age of 25, he and his wife moved from Brazil to Europe. From there, they planned to go to the Soviet Union and enter the Peoples' Friendship University in order to build a society without social inequality. But in 1970, their dreams were ruined by a friend from Prague - the Czechs tasted enough of communism in 1968.
So, this guy dissuaded the spouses, explaining that no one is building communism in the USSR. Power does not belong to the people, and if they want to fight for the happiness of ordinary people, they can stay and help immigrants. Salgadu listened to his friend and stayed in France.
He trained as an economist, but quickly realized that it was not his. His wife, Lelia Salgadu, had a more creative profession - she was a pianist ... but also became disillusioned with her occupation and decided to become an architect. It was she who bought their first camera to photograph architecture. As soon as Sebastian looked at the world through the viewfinder, he immediately realized that he had found his real passion. And after 2 years he became a professional photographer.
According to Salgadu himself, his economic education gave him knowledge in the fields of history and geography, sociology and anthropology. A huge store of knowledge opened up opportunities for him, inaccessible to other photographers: an understanding of human society in different parts of our planet. He has traveled to over 100 countries, taking an incredible amount of documentary photography.
But do not think that Sebastian was photographing exotic beaches and funny animals while relaxing on tropical islands. This is not how his travels go. Initially, an idea is born: "Workers", "Terra", "Revival" - these are just some of the names of his albums. After that, preparations for the trip and the trip itself begin, which can take several years.
Many of his works are dedicated to human suffering: he filmed refugees in African countries, victims of famine and genocide. Some critics even began to reproach Salgada for presenting poverty and suffering as something aesthetic. Sebastian himself is sure that the point is different: according to him, he never took pictures of those who look pitiful. Those he photographed were in dire straits, but they had dignity.
And it would be fundamentally wrong to think that Salgadu was "promoting" on someone else's grief. On the contrary, he drew the attention of mankind to those troubles that many did not notice. The situation when in the 1990s Sebastian completed the work "Exodus" is indicative: he filmed people who escaped genocide. After the trip, he admitted that he was disappointed in people and no longer believes that humanity is able to survive. He returned to Brazil and took a break for a while to recover.
Fortunately, this story has a happy ending: the old idealist has regained his faith in beauty, and is now busy with another project, photographing the untouched corners of our planet.
If you start typing in a search engine , then Google will display a drop-down window with the option "Steve mccurry afghan girl"... This is rather strange, because McCurry is too mustache for a girl, albeit an Afghan one.
In fact, "Afghan Girl" is Steve's most famous photo to appear on the cover of National Geographic. Even a Wikipedia article about this guy starts out with a story about it:
- "Steve is a mustachioed American photojournalist who photographed an Afghan girl."... (Wikipedia)
Most articles about this photographer begin with a similar phrase - including our story about him. One gets the impression that he is an actor in one role, like Daniel Radcliffe or Macaulay Culkin. But it is not so.
Steve's career as a professional photographer began during the war in Afghanistan. He did not travel around the country in a Hummer, hiding behind the backs of the military, but stayed among ordinary people: he got local clothes, sewed rolls of photographic film into them and traveled around the country like an ordinary Afghan. Or as an ordinary American spy disguised as an Afghan - someone might have considered that option. So Steve took a risk, but thanks to him, the world saw the first photographs of that conflict.
Since then, McCurry has not changed his approach to work: he roamed all over the world, filming different people. Steve has captured many military conflicts and became a true master of street photography. Although in fact McCurry is a photojournalist, he managed to blur the line between documentary and artistic photography. His photographs are bright and attractive, like a postcard, but at the same time they are true. They do not require any explanation or comment - everything is clear without words. To create such photos, you need a rare flair.
Annie Leibovitz is a true celebrity portrait specialist. Her pictures have graced the covers of the most popular magazines, causing stormy emotions and discussions. Who else would have guessed to take a picture of Whoopi Goldberg grimacing in a milk bath? Or naked John Lennon, who in the position of an embryo is pressed against Yoko Ono? By the way, this was the last picture in his life, taken a few hours before Chapman's fatal shot.
Annie's biography looks quite smooth: after studying at the Institute of Arts in San Francisco, Leibovitz got a job at Rolling Stone magazine. She collaborated with him for over 10 years. During this time, Annie has earned a reputation for being able to photograph any celebrity in an interesting and creative way. And this is quite enough to achieve success in modern show business.
Having gained some fame, Annie moved to New York, where she opened her own photo studio. In 1983 she started working with Vanity Fair magazine, which sponsored her subsequent shocking star shots. Taking a nude Demi Moore in the last stage of pregnancy, or smearing it with clay and displaying it in the Sting Desert is quite in the spirit of Leibovitz. How to make Cate Blanchett ride a bike or make a goose take pictures with DiCaprio. No wonder her work is popular!
Who else can boast of filming the Queen of England, Michael Jackson, Barack Obama and many, many other celebrities? And, mind you, did not shoot as a paparazzi, hiding behind a bush, but arranged a full-fledged photo session? This is why Annie Leibovitz is considered, if not the best, then the most successful contemporary photographer. Although somewhat pop.
1. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Anri got a craving for art from his uncle: he was an artist and put his nephew on painting. This slippery slope eventually led him to a passion for photography. What did Henri do that set him apart from hundreds and thousands of other photographers?
He grasped a simple truth: everything must be done honestly and truly. Therefore, he refused staged photos, never asked someone to act out a certain situation. Instead, he closely watched what was happening around him.
In order to remain inconspicuous during the shooting, Henri sealed the shiny metal parts on the camera with black duct tape. He became a real "invisible", which allowed him to capture the most sincere feelings of people. And for this it is not enough not to attract attention - you need to be able to determine the decisive moment for the photo. It was Henri who coined this term, "the defining moment," and even wrote a book with that title.
Summing up: the photos of Cartier-Bresson are distinguished by lively realism. For such work, some professional skills are not enough. It is necessary to sensitively understand the nature of a person, to capture his emotions and mood. All this was inherent in Henri Cartier-Bresson. He was honest in his work.
Don't be a snob ... Repost!
In the modern world, photography is a popular and very widespread branch of art, which continues to actively develop and delight with new discoveries and creations. It seems, why so much enthusiasm around ordinary photography, can it be compared with a painting in which the artist invests a lot of time, soul and energy?
But not everything is so simple, talented photographic works can hardly be called “simple”, so that the frame comes out really bewitching, the master must be a true connoisseur of the moment, be able to catch beauty where it remains invisible to an ordinary person, and then present it so that it becomes available to the wider to the masses.

British photographer who gained his popularity thanks to the fabulous style in which most of his work was created: the directions of surrealism and rococo.
