The Stories Behind Photographer William Klein’s Contact Sheets

This short film, found in Contacts, Volume 1, is a fascinating video in which photographer William Klein takes us beyond his iconic images to discuss the stories revealed in his contact sheets.

The picture is taken at 1/125 of a second. What do you know of a photographer’s work? A hundred pictures? Let’s say 125. That comes out to one second. Let’s say, more like 250 photographs? That would be a rather large body of work. And that would come out to two seconds. The life of a photographer — even of a great photographer, as they say — two seconds.

It’s always awesome listening to well-known photographers talk about their work.

Well worth the 14 minutes run time

The project "Once upon a Time" by Eleonora Ronconi features some beautifully lit photographs. Absolutely stunning. I'd love to see them in real life...

Last weekend, whilst we were visiting Richard's folks, we stopped by the Pie Factory to see what was happening at the Margate Photo Fest and stumbled across Heather Barnett's experiments with slime mold. On the video, at about 1:25 some "more oats" are added - these were Richard's interactions with it, and below is a quick snap of Richard interacting with Heather herself.

Henri Cartier-Bresson Talks Photography

 

 

Here’s a terrific 20-minute video that features Henri Cartier-Bresson — the father of modern photojournalism — talking about his views on photography and a selection of his amazing photographs. It’s both educational and inspiring.

The decisive moment, it is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression.

– Henri Cartier-Bresson

If only there was one of these videos for every famous historical photographer!

Recorded in 1973 this is a great combination of photography and instruction with a large amount of inspiration thrown in for good measure

Update: The video seems to have gone away - what a shame!

L E N S C R A T C H: Brian Kaplan

There’s something surreal about a blank billboard at night -- the simple, glowing rectangle against a dark night sky.

A billboard is an advertisement. Like all advertisements, a billboard tells us what we should buy, feeding our consumption-obsessed culture.

But a blank billboard seems to turn the traditional goal of advertising on its head, instead telling us: “Live simply. Real fullfillment is something you cannot buy.”

Another example where a potentially mundane subject is made interesting because of a collection of different examples. Yes, I'm thinking of my own found and out of place projects again!

JR, 'Unframed' @ Images 2010, Switzerland

JR, 'Unframed' @ Images 2010, Switzerland
JR made a name for himself taking photos and pasting them on buildings around the world. His work usually provides an insight, reflection or celebration of the local community.

JR's latest project, 'Unframed', is a new direction: he's using source images from other photographers and pasting them out of context. In the process he's mixing cultures, re-creating historic scenes and creating fascinating contrasts. I love it, and I'm excited to see where this goes.

I'm so impressed by the sheer scale of these. More examples here and at JR's site

Another great post from lenscratch, this time about Liu Bolin's "Hiding in the City" series. Liu is a Chinese photographer who appears in his images camouflaged to his surroundings - the level of detail is really impressive.

Touching Strangers

exmosis tweeted this morning 

In love with Richard Renaldi's photos of strangers touching:http://bit.ly/aYLx8i (via @PhotoJojo)

and as I was sitting at my laptop I followed the link and wow, I agree with his sentiments

The Touching Strangers work is simply getting two or more strangers to each other, and to the photographer, to pose for a portrait where they are touching in some way or another.  There are some amazing images to be seen amongst the 35 that are currently on display.  I'd love to see these in real life in a gallery somewhere, preferably without having to travel to the Hermès Foundation in New York.
