MANUEL MARTIN

Manuel, I’d like to begin by saying thank you for taking your precious time to give us the opportunity for this interview.

Please tell us a bit about you, to starting off.

Well, I have to thank you very much for the opportunity to talk a bit about how I see photography. I was born the 21st September 1972 in Winterthur, a picturesque city in Switzerland surrounded by forests. Married to a wonderful woman, father of two children, and we also have one more family member called Giorgio, a Collie. I mainly work as an economist in a financial bank, trying to live my passion for landscape photography every minute I can in my spare time.

2.

How did you get into photography in general?

This is a very familiar question as many people ask me exactly the same question a lot of times.

I always tell the same story behind my first steps into photography. Believe it or not, I read a lot of interviews of very famous photographers and I could tell you – like many of those famous photographers – that photography fascinated me since my childhood. But the truth is that it had never ever interested me until one cold day in December of 2011. It was my little daughter’s birthday and outside it was raining and snowing at the same time. Obviously, bad light conditions.

As certainly almost every dad does, I had bought one of those snapshot cameras to capture those important little moments in the life of the loved ones. The entire family was standing in front of the birthday cake and I took my small camera out and tried to photograph that scene from every angle. Obviously, the cam was set to automatic since back then I had no idea how a camera works. Of course, I desperately searched for this one little magic button called “Make a stunner” but I only found the automatic button. I am still today looking for a camera with this imaginary button, so if anyone ever stumbles across one, feel free to contact me (lol).

Well, imagine the behaviour of my snapshot camera with such low and bad light conditions, and imagine the result! I flashed the entire family like a madman and, which is worse, they all looked like the “Adams Family” on the pictures, all pale and looking like monsters due to the flash. Next, I took more shots, this time without the flash. Also not a good idea. Actually, more like a catastrophe (lol). So that’s when I decided to learn everything I possibly could about photography so that I would never live this situation again.

Fire and Ice

How did you come to landscape photography?

Two essential factors were crucial to me to develop my love for landscape photography. The first factor was my family. My family has a great passion and love for nature, and therefore takes a lot of hikes in the mountains (Swiss Alps). We have experienced so many incredible lighting moods in the mountains that I had the desire to capture these unique moments with a camera.

But unfortunately, due to a lack of know-how at the beginning, the road was very long and very rocky in order to be able to capture such difficult light situations with a camera.

For me this was exactly the right challenge to acquire the necessary knowledge. In addition, the difficulty to find the right equipment for such environments far away from any road. And with equipment I mean everything I need to achieve my vision of an image taken in areas where I’m alone at hours when all people are at home. In short, a cam that is resistant to all kinds of weather conditions and temperatures, a good and robust tripod, the right backpack, the right clothes for every possible weather changes, the right hiking boots etc. All this gave me the necessary kick to get into all of this. The second factor is our dog Giorgio (a Collie).

Legends arise

INTER VIEW WITH

MANUEL MARTIN

I started planning my first hikes with him when he still was little. As our dog grew, our hikes became longer and harder. I do not remember how many times I dragged myself up a mountain, which was more than 3’000 meters high, and my constant companion was our dog Giorgio.

With the exception of my trip to Iceland in January 2018, Giorgio was with me every time I took a shot. I just cannot imagine landscape photography without my dog. We went through many situations together … good ones and also bad ones!

You have really amazing landscape photos. Among all those various motives, which is your favorite? (Mountains, Woods, Lake, River etc.)

Many thanks, I really appreciate you saying this. I must admit I do not really have a preferred motive. I love taking beautiful mountain vistas as much as I love hiking in magical forests and looking for special spots. But what is really important to me is to capture those special lighting moods and moments that can arise in the mountains as well as on a river deep in a forest.

I simply love the light drama and that’s why I try to capture these moments no matter where they are in nature. For example, try to catch the vegetation in a deep forest with a polarising filter on a rainy day with breaks in the clouds and then watch what happens. You will be amazed by the results. But of course, there are also certain things that I’m not really fond of. Completely blue skies without any sign of a cloud, for instance. Or if I see too many signs of civilisation in an area. These are not very attractive or interesting situations that I try to avoid, but not always with much success (lol).

Landscape photography is much more than travelling somewhere and taking some photos. Can you share with us your working process – how do you prepare for a shoot?

The most rewarding activity in my working process is to explore an unknown area during some hikes I make long before I plan to make a shot. I usually do not take any photography equipment with me at this stage except my iPhone which I normally use to make some impressions of the area as a reminder for later analysis. When I finally find something that I feel is a great place, the satisfaction for me is really great. I feel like a child at Christmas.

This stage of my working process is so wonderful because there is no pressure, and everything is new and relaxing for me. I always begin to plan and to prepare some studies of the location in detail, using the shots from my iPhone and also maps and online resources.

I try to find out how the location looks like at sunrise or sunset in terms of composition and I try 12

MANUEL MARTIN

to find the appropriate spots for that situation. Another important thing is to think about how I can reach that specific place in no time. I usually carry a lot of weight with my backpack and therefore time matters. It may well be possible that the shortest way to my spot is not just the same trail I made when I found the place for the first time. And of course, the weather forecast. This is the most important factor in the planning stage. In the mountains, the weather can change from one minute to the next, even though the weather forecast has stated exactly the opposite.

So preparation is everything. And then there is the equipment, and I not only mean my camera equipment but also food, water, clothes, shoes etc. I always try to be at the location some time before I make the final shot. This gives me enough time to look around for wonderful foregrounds that I can implement in my images. I always try different angles until I’m happy with what I see through the viewfinder. And when the shots are finally done, the work is not yet done.

I love to revisit these places again and again. That’s why I went back to a location later, at different times and in different seasons. It has happened that I make my best shots only the third time around I revisit the same place.

How much time do you put into post processing, which software do you use?

I cannot give a general answer because this varies from image to image. There are certain images that need a lot of editing and then there are some that only need some minor adjustments.

And there are times when I don’t feel inspired enough to process an image. And always when I’m not so inspired it is better to put that image away for some days or even also some months and come back when I’m ready for that particular image.

I deliberately mean I’m not ready for a certain picture because photography is also art to me and you cannot force it to produce a good result without a lack of passion. In general, I can only say that post-processing is as important as being at the location and trying to make the shot right.

Therefore, it has the same weight as all the other process steps when taking images.

For sure I always try to make the shot perfect only to avoid the work in post-production due to a bad shot on the field. But nowadays, in the era of digital photography, this in combination with the composition of a shot is a step in which your work can stand out from other works with a special look, thus making the image unique.

I mainly work with Camera Raw and Photoshop, and I also have a plug-in which I use only from time to time.

MANUEL MARTIN

Among all those fantastic photos you took already, is there one you would call your favorite?

Really a very difficult question I would say. Every single photo I made contains a little story that not everybody knows, like the scouting for the location, the hike to the place, the circumstances I found at the location, the light and so on. It is very emotional for me. But if I have to choose, then it would be the shot with the name “Source of Life”.

It’s a location at the edges of the area called “Alpstein”. A double-waterfall that you can easily reach during a short walk. The view to this double-cascade seen from the inside of a cavern is fantastic and very picturesque. The difficulty of this spot was not the path to this iconic place, but rather the extreme dynamic range of the scene combined with the exact exposure time to capture the unique waves which were formed in the waterfall basin.

For the cave parts in the image and the two waterfalls outside the cave, I chose to make a focusstacking to capture everything sharp from front to back.

Then came the tricky part, and this was the waves of the cascade basin. I observed the waterfall for more than one hour and noticed that every 5 to 10 minutes the amount of water coming down the cascade changed a little bit. This sudden change in the amount of water caused certain water waves in the pool in front of me.

And this was precisely what I wanted to capture. I had to make a ton of shots with different exposures with dead waiting times until the next change of water amount until I finally got the one shot with the right exposure time. In post-processing, I combined all the pieces together into one single image, which made me very proud and which I know, with the actual technology, would be impossible to make in one single shot.

Where would you love to take landscape photos but didn’t manage to get there until now?

This is a simple one for me (lol). There are many, many places that I would like to visit and capture with my Nikon. In Switzerland, for example, there are still so many places I have never seen. And then also Europe offers so many more places … and then there is the rest of the world.

If I had the possibilities, then I would travel the entire world. But there is this limitation in my life, as I am not a professional photographer, I have to work for a living. Then, there’s also my family and this and that!

INTER VIEW WITH

MANUEL MARTIN

What have been the most impressive experiences in landscape photography for you so far?

A good question. I cannot complain about not having enough mountains around. In my home country Switzerland, it is very difficult not to see any mountains, as 60% of the Swiss surface is alpine territory. Mountains, rivers, forests, waterfalls and so on, I can find all these topics practically at my doorstep.

But I was really impressed by two things this January 2018 when I was on a trip abroad in Iceland. Although I have seen far too little, the Northern Lights impressed me so much. Sure, I’d never seen them in my entire life before, but the spectacle with colors in the night sky of Iceland was so incredible. And there is a huge difference between seeing them on TV or in images and seeing them in person standing in the cold outside and watching how the lights dance in the night sky!

The second impressive experience in landscape photography that I had was also in Iceland. It was something really special, not a big thing, but small and subtle. Iceland is quite near the Arctic Circle. Accordingly, the sunrises and sunsets are very extended. This is something unknown to me coming from Switzerland. Here in Switzerland, I have only a small window of a few minutes for the spectacle of the red glow in the sky.

But this red glow in Iceland, so typical in the morning hours at sunrise and also at sunset, feels as if it were always there. You know about this phenomenon, but you have never experienced it on a daily basis. Therefore, you don’t feel it is normal behaviour.

As soon as I saw the red glow in the morning I was stressed because I wanted to be at the location to shoot instead of enjoying breakfast. But one hour later at the location I was completely surprised to still see this red glow in the sky and to be able to make endless shots with this special light.

Have you ever had dangerous situations in the wilderness or in the mountains?

In fact, I did have dangerous situations in the mountains. I already experienced heavy thunderstorms on a mountain peak, erosion, rockfalls, rockslides and even one time there was a very small avalanche which passed me on my right side without touching me. This day my heart was in my mouth. Although many people forget that because it is wonderful to make some hikes in the mountains, they can be very dangerous in certain situations. Never forget where you are!

Do you prefer to be alone in nature or do you like to have company on your shooting trips?

I like both situations. There are times I’m utterly alone in the wilderness and times I spend my time with friends shooting together. But to be honest, I was never alone as my dog Giorgio always accompanies me.

From the Fairyland

How important is your equipment to get the result you having in mind and what equipment do you usually use?

Preparation for everything is really important, and therefore I need not only a good camera but also good equipment in general to bring me safely to the spots and back home. Safety is the most important thing. Therefore, I need the appropriate equipment to achieve this goal.

I always use a mountain Pack from F-Stop (Shinn-Model).

The best backpack I’ve ever had, resistant to every weather with lots of space.

22

Then of course my Nikon D810 is always with me, a cam that I tested already in every weather condition. Also a super wide 14-24mm lens and a 24-70mm lens. Then I carry a Really Right Stuff Tripod (RRS) with a BH-55 Ballhead. Everything very expensive but if you are on a mountain peak with strong wind you know what I’m talking about! I always have with me FilterHolders and the appropriate filters, a remote controller, a ton of spare batteries, memory cards, waterproof equipment, some warm layers and changing clothes, gloves, a cap, sometimes trekking poles, a head light, something to clean up my lenses, water, snacks, during the winter season snowshoes and of course always crampons, the right mountain boots and so on. Most of the time, I feel like a donkey going up a mountain with all that stuff. I wish I had a teleporter from Star Trek to be transported to the desired location in just a minute (lol).

Nowadays a lot of people consider themselves as a photographer. The digital technology, the portable devices, like a mobile phone and the endless possibilities to pep-up a photo in post processing makes them feel like artists. How difficult is it for you to stick out of the crowd, to make a name for yourself?

To be short, very difficult. Nowadays no one takes the time to look deeper at works or even to comment.

23

INTER VIEW WITH

MANUEL MARTIN

The only thing that matters are the likes people receive when I look at Social Media like for example Instagram. Everything is faster and short-lived.

This is what I observe a lot. And apparently it doesn’t matter how the quality of the published works is. And even more when I see the technology used to look at it. Is it really possible to judge a work from an incredible photographer like Marc Adamus on a portable device if the image was posted on Instagram? I really doubt it! To be short here, nowadays what really matters is how popular and not how good your works are.

To compete is really hard. In addition, I have the feeling that images have become some kind of throwaway product. With just a few buttons in a software you can get OK results for social media within minutes. But appearance is deceptive! In my opinion, you will never get really good results in a few minutes. Excellent results need time, like works from great painters.

They don’t have the button “Make a stunner immediately”.

But to be honest, it doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is what you really want to achieve. To become popular or to make good works no matter how the response is, or in the best situation both of them.

What advice would you give someone who is starting out in the field of landscape photography?

Only do what you really like and what makes you happy. And never ever stop learning and improving your skills in every aspect of landscape photography. Try to be curious and always try new things no matter how the results look like at the beginning. Study composition in deep because it has a heavier weight than light or a good post-process.

Stay humble and always be polite to everyone, listen and also observe other works from excellent photographers. Never be discouraged from receiving low or bad response on your works, as likes in social media for example are not a guideline for quality. And do what your heart tells you, because you will only make a good work with passion, and passion comes from the heart.

With time, try to develop your own style and stick with it and make changes to it with time, and don’t try to copy the styles from other photographers. And give yourself the time you need to improve because you won’t get better in just one day.

THOMAS FÃœNGERLINGS IST DAS SCHON SCHWARZ-WEISS ODER KANN DAS WEG?

THOMAS FÜNGERLINGS

IST DAS SCHON SCHWARZ-WEISS ODER KANN DAS WEG? Heute rede ich mal von meiner Faszination für die Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografie. Was ist denn das Besondere an einem Schwarz-Weiß-Foto? Es fehlt die Farbe. Haha, so simpel ist es nicht.

Beginnen wir anders. Die Menschen sehen die Welt in Farben. Schon als Kinder lernen wir bestimmten Farben Bedeutungen zuzuordnen. Zum Beispiel Rot steht für die Liebe, aber auch für Aggressivität. Oder nehmen wir Wärme, welches man auf einem Foto durch das Gelb-Orange eines Sonnenstrahls vermitteln kann oder Kälte durch das Blau des Meeres. Gefühle und Emotionen, die du sonst mit einem Farbfoto transportierst, müssen anders geäußert werden.

Probiere es mal aus: Wandel mal ein Foto in schwarz-weiß um. Übermittelt es die gleiche Botschaft? Oder wird schwarz-weiß für ganze andere Situationen und Botschaften verwendet? Ich war letzte Woche beim Marzipan Hersteller Niederegger in Lübeck und habe für diesen Beitrag diese Fotos geschossen. Ihr seht sofort, was ich meine, manche Variationen passen einfach nicht.

Im White Wall Magazin habe ich diese passenden Zeilen zum Thema gefunden: "Die Ursprünge der SchwarzWeiß-Fotografie liegen in den Anfängen der Fotografie selbst. Damals, bevor die Möglichkeit bestand, die visuelle Wirklichkeit farbgetreu wiederzugeben, hatte die Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografie keinen gesonderten Namen. Sie wurde als das bezeichnet, was wir heutzutage gemeingültig unter dem Begriff der Fotografie verstehen.

Bei Schwarz-Weiß-Aufnahmen richtet sich die Aufmerksamkeit vor allem auf das Spiel zwischen Licht und Schatten, auf Konturen, Formen und die Bildkomposition. Die beiden „Farbextreme“ schwarz und weiß stehen dabei in einem besonders starken Kontrast zueinander und lassen oftmals einen gewissen Hauch Nostalgie mitschwingen.

Die Schwarz-Weiß-Wirkung einer Aufnahme ist dabei zunächst einmal unabhängig von dem Motiv und lebt allein von der Reduzierung auf ihre Grautöne. Denn Farben lenken häufig vom eigentlichen Bild ab. Obwohl Farbaufnahmen näher an der Realität haften, entsteht oftmals der Eindruck, dass monochrome Motive die Wirklichkeit stärker zur Geltung bringen. Der Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografie wird aufgrund ihres Kontrastreichtums daher häufig eine unverfälschte Wirkung zugeschrieben.

34

Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografie bedeutet jedoch mehr als einer Aufnahme per Mausklick ihre Farbe zu entziehen. So gibt es etliche Aufnahmen, die in Farbe beeindrucken, umgewandelt in Schwarz-Weiß jedoch jeglichen Anreiz verlieren.

Wer Schwarz-weiß fotografiert, muss deshalb in der Lage sein, die farbige Wirklichkeit bereits im Kopf zu einer schwarz-weißen Abstraktion derer umzuwandeln. Während der Aufnahme gilt es, Farben als Kontraste wahrzunehmen und Helligkeitswerte richtig einzuschätzen.

Diese Art der Fotografie erfordert einerseits ein gewisses fotografisches Talent, hat andererseits aber auch einen unglaublich ästhetischen Reiz. Um ein Schwarz-weiß-Foto zu entschlüsseln, bedarf es darüber hinaus mehr geistige Kapazität als es bei einer Farbfotografie der Fall ist. Durch die Konzentration auf die Aufnahme eines Motivs wird einer schnelllebigen Willkür entgegengewirkt, weshalb sich die Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografie inzwischen nach wie vor großer Beliebtheit erfreut."

Quelle: https://de.whitewall.com/mag/die-kunst-der-schwarzweiss-fotografie Weniger ist meistens mehr

Hier habe ich je zwei Streetfotos aus Lübeck für euch. Einmal dominiert die blaue Brille der Frau und dann das schwarz-weiß Foto, wo eher das Spiegelbild von mir in beiden Brillengläsern die Szene bestimmt. Oder die Raucherin mit der Blume im Rücken. Ohne das Bunte schaust du direkt in den starken Ausdruck der Frau.

Eine wuselige Szene, d.h. ein Foto auf dem viel zu sehen ist, wird in schwarz-weiß nicht zwangsläufig besser wirken.

Es ist aber so, dass schwarz-weiß den Blick aufs Wesentliche richtet.

Ein farbiger Hintergrund lenkt mehr vom Motiv ab, als einer, der nicht bunt ist.

THOMAS FÜNGERLINGS

Einfach gesagt, ohne die Farben werden störende oder unwichtige Elemente ausgeblendet. Das ist dann auch Bildgestaltung. Es ist wenig zu sehen, aber das, was zu sehen ist, wird mit Schwarz-Weiß erst richtig zur Geltung gebracht.

Wollt ihr das auch mal probieren?

Es ist einfacher, wenn du die Kamera in den Schwarz-Weiß-Modus schaltest. Dann schau, wie die Szene auf dich wirkt. So bekommst du ein Auge für Töne und Kontraste. Mache wie ich oben zwei Fotos vom gleichen Motiv und spiel in der Nachbearbeitung z.B. mit dem Kontrast.

Bei schwarz-weiß Fotos geht es primär um das Einsetzen von Licht und um eine gute Komposition, bestenfalls auch noch eine Story zum Bild. Die Kunst ist es, den Schwerpunkt auf Licht und Schatten, also Kontraste und auf Linien, Strukturen und Formen zu legen. Wenn es besonders gelungen ist, dann ist ein pures Bild, die Essenz und nichts lenkt den Betrachter ab.

36

Ich finde Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografie ist einfach zeitlos. Es gab sie schon ewig und sie wird auch weiter Bestand haben. Ich persönlich möchte Fotos machen und Bilder zeigen, wie sie kein anderer so sieht. Und das ist schon unglaublich faszinierend!

Summary Black-and-white photographs are primarily about the use of light and an excellent composition.

The art is to focus on light and shadow, thus contrasts and to lay lines, structures and forms. If it is particularly successful, then it is a pure image, the essence, and nothing distracts the viewer.

I think black and white photography is just timeless. I would like to take photos and show pictures as no one else sees them. And this is incredibly fascinating!

PHOTO RE VIEW ADAM SWIATLOWSKI

PHOTO I RE VIEW

remember that I consciously took my first photograph when I was twelve, that was a portrait of my mother and sister.

ADAM SWIATLOWSKI

At that time in the 1990s I had a Zenit-E camera and black and white film, photography wasn’t an easy task but it was the only form of entertainment for me then.

In secondary school and when I was a student of Cultural Studies at university I got interested in landscape and macro photography in which I discovered whole universes that we don’t notice with the naked eye every day.

Four years ago, I met a beginner model, I didn’t have a lot of knowledge of portrait or fashion photography then, nevertheless, I decided to try. From one session to another I started to see more and more clearly the mistakes I was making, I also noticed that the best way to take better photos is to take more photos and learn.

In 2016 I graduated from the School of Photography at Cracow University of Technology and in the same year I became the official photographer of the regional Miss Poland contest.

That is when my adventure with portrait and modelling really began, for two years I have had a chance to photograph many of the Miss Silesia contest finalists. I did photoshoot sessions with several winning contestants, and my photograph of the Vice Teenager Miss Poland Sandra Piekarska received an award from ‘This! Magazine’ in the black and white portrait category.

I have been running my company for two years and working as a freelancer on a daily basis, in my free time I still love taking photos of every tiny creature living in the grass and as my work I shoot interiors and real estate photography.

After a few years of working with female models I am trying the male portrait, I have run only two sessions now, but I am looking forward to the next ones…

PHOTO I RE VIEW

’m not a professional photographer, I’m just passionate about photography.

CAO MÉI WÈI

I studied science and engineering but have not graduated from a related department. I wasn’t interested in photography until 2012, I got the invitation to shoot from a friend and then I started to learn the concept and skills of photography.

Even when I have felt toward things or sometimes got depressed about life pressure, it’s hard to describe all the feelings through just words. I’m not good at expressing myself, so I use photos to speak and to release my thoughts.

When taking pictures, I do not set too many themes. I just follow my feelings to shoot. Depending on the model and the environment, I’m showing my own inner feelings or something that provokes an instant image in my brain.

Most of my shooting is the reflection of my inner emotion. My style is gloomy and surreal and mostly with a weird atmosphere. For most people this may be non-mainstream, but I still hope it could be appreciated by those who have the same mood and people who love photography.

He is an passionate photographer and currently a student of interior architecture. His goal in photography is to create an art so that everyone can make a different story by looking at my works.

Solitude, Minimalism, and especially Black and White attracts me the most in photography.

His photography device is just a tool and it's the last thing he cares about. Cebi says: “It does not make me more creative or talented, but it helps me to share my art.�

PHOTO RE VIEW DAVID BOAM

PHOTO C RE VIEW

reativity has always been of central importance in my life.

For much of it I have been a jazz musician and have come to understand the foundations upon which true self-expression rests.

DAVID BOAM

As a photographer I started many years ago working in film, then gave it up until two years ago. Something stopped me letting go. I now work in the digital medium and employ all of the tools available to create a reality as I envision it in each of my images.

As I had done before with music I avidly absorb the different genres of photography as conceptual art, studying its exponents and their work. I think I am drawn towards monochrome; portraiture, landscapes and street photography. It allows me to focus on the really important elements of an image – light, dark and composition and I am happiest when these can be reduced to the most minimal components.

Expression distilled, Photography has opened my eyes to other visual arts, changing the way I perceive my world and react to it emotionally. I try to convey this in my work. Its eclectic but my journey continues. I hope it never ends.

PHOTO RE VIEW IGNACIO RAVENTÓS

PHOTO RE VIEW

Advertising by profession, Photographer by vocation.

I started my vocation for photography by flipping through the National Geographic magazine and falling in love with the work of its photographers.

But then photography was a very expensive activity that I IGNACIO RAVENTĂ“S could not afford. So I looked for a more lucrative occupation. I worked as an advertising creative. Many years later, when digital photography arrived, I recovered my vocation again. Digital photography allowed me to shoot as many photos as I wanted and then through editing programs, to get what I was trying in the laboratory, under photochromatic light, but I never got it.

From then on, I dedicated all my time to photography and instead of going to distant places to spend heat, cold and hunger, I have chosen the city of Barcelona as the stage to practice the modality that I like the most: Street photography. I am currently an official Photographer of the X-Series of Fujifilm. I publish books about my work, I have participated in several exhibitions and I have achieved a Commended in Sony Photography Awards, as the most important prize.

QUICK

Q& A

How did you get into street photography?

I started in street photography because of necessity and opportunity. The street is always there, available. Many things happen on the street. When I began to feel that on the street I could express everything I think about photography, I understood that the street was my stage.

What is on your subjects that makes you want to capture them?

What attracts me most in my subjects is the way in which light illuminates them. And then they correspond with my idea of what kinds of subjects are appropriate for my street photography. I try to find harmonic moments with elegant aesthetics.

How does black & white vs color play into your work?

I started very strong with black and white. It was very effective for my high contrast photos and backlighting. But little by little, I became interested in the color. The way light reveals and highlights color attracts me especially

101

PHOTO RE VIEW IGNACIO RAVENTĂ“S

What equipment do you prefer to us and why?

Because I am Fujifilm X-Photographer, I have a wide range of Fujifilm cameras and lenses. For my work on the street, I prefer to use the lightest of cameras and for me it represents the essence of Fujifilm: the Fujifilm X100F.

I can carry it for hours and get great results thanks to its sensor with a dynamic range that fits very well with my type of photography.

What would you tell a newcomer who asks for your advice how to start?

I would recommend that street photography can be a great school. But it is important that one be very demanding with their own work and not be satisfied with the first.

It is also not advisable to imitate what is seen in social networks. You have to work your own style, or an approach to the original and different street photography. That is achieved by working hard and taking lots of photos.

PHOTO RE VIEW IRVING S. T. GARP

Special Offer of the Week

PHOTO RE VIEW IRVING S. T. GARP

I

am a Belgian photographer.

My photographic alias is Irving S. T. Garp in reference to John Irving’s novel “The World According to Garp”.

In Irving's books, some of the worst disasters appear, unexpected, in the middle of sentences, slipped into a description of the ordinary daily life.

My photos are recognised by their original and offbeat staging.

My models are anyone and everyone.

Definitively beside the usual pictures ordered by the standards of fashion and advertising, I like to show all the anonymous and social rejects of the academic good taste.

"Photography is a narcissistic art. If the photographer likes to expose himself through his photos, the model likes to be looked at, appreciating how the photographer shows them in their best light. For me this is rarely the case.

When I ask my models to say “cheese” it’s a wedge of wormy rotten gorgonzola, so they need to be ready to accept that I’m going destroy a part of their image."

In my last series »Nudicrous", feminine beauty is conjugated only in the imperfect. The imperfection is sublimated on original staging, offbeat ... and absurd.

I love my birth place. Every minute I want to use the power method to capture.

Every expression of light and shadow. The city is changing. These are beautiful topics. More importantly, the shutter press. All things will be fixed, cannot be returned and cannot be repeated.

I like Henri Cartier Bresson's classic quote. “There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative.

Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.

M

y name is Laurent Bastide, I'm 39 years old.

I am a freelance photographer, fascinated by the immense beauty of our planet, nature, architecture, culture, and above all our differences!

I photograph to tell stories, to pass messages. I think my photos, I build in my head, and I often visualize the result in advance, the post processing and the result I want to achieve.

What I like the most is sharing and exchange around photography including.

It was for this purpose that I created a company to bring the people on the ground, through photography travels and travel!

It always starts the same way, I go on the field to realize my own locations, bring back my photos, my vision of the world. I'm trying to get off the beaten tracks as often as possible, bringing new, always unpretentious.

Then I create a program, I manage the logistics, housing, the organization what!

The D day, I'm driving people into minibus on destinations of my choice, to make photography, to discover, to improve, share and exchange around a common passion.

PHOTO RE VIEW PETER VAN STRALEN

PHOTO P RE VIEW PETER VAN STRALEN

eter van Stralen studied to become a graphic designer at the Academy of Arts in Arnhem, Netherlands.

During this study, his interest in photography was awakened.

Since then he has been working as an autonomous artist/ photographer, whose non-commercial activities have mainly been focused on staged black-and-white photography.

Apart from this, he is also active as a photographer in the field of art and culture in general.

His photographs have been published and exhibited many times and in many different countries, from the Leica Gallery in Germany to the 25CPW Gallery in New York.

Peter van Stralen likes to describe himself as a ‘two-dimensional sculptor’ who likes to work with female dancers, since they are able to combine power with grace in a very natural way.

His style is strongly influenced by his background as a graphic designer: it is rather simple and direct.

That is why he played with the female body forms in a straightforward fashion: to him, ‘less’ often means: ‘more’. In this sense, he can be considered a minimalist.

Both form and composition play an important part in his works, and since (in his opinion) colour often distracts from the essence of an image, he prefers to use black-and-white materials.

In order to avoid fashionable or contemporary influences, he deliberately created his images in an almost time- and space less environment. Moreover, since the dancers act as interpreters, he also tried to avoid any identification of the person behind the figure on the photograph, thus fully focusing the viewer’s attention on the form of the image.

In this series ‘ODD BODIES’ he emphasises themes like alienation and strangeness by photographing the female body from a different perspective, in which women are no longer just familiar and sensual, but also pleasantly strange and fascinatingly versatile. He tries to show the female body in a way that makes you wonder again about seemingly ordinary forms. Therefore, this photo series is a reflection of his astonishment and admiration of these dancers.

His second photo book, titled: ‘ODD BODIES’ is available: 140 pages, 132 duotone photographs, 1 photo per page, hardcover, size 11.8 x 11.8 inch or 30 x 30 cm. The introduction is written in three languages: Dutch, English and German.

Self-published limited edition: only 250 copies.

hen I was little kid, my favorite game was to sit on the wall in the main street of Trogir (Croatia), observe people and imagine their thoughts. After some time doing photography, I recognized my game continued…

That’s how Mentalist got a name.

Lately, walking around with camera in my hands, I started observe people more carefully, and what I noticed, is that there is so less smile…more torn they looked like…

That’s how Torn Human started.

Walking around, catching thoughts of humans.

Seems that childrens games never end…
