WePhoto “The Series” Landscapes Dear all, I am very proud to introduce the new collection “The Series”. Itwas not so long ago since we have launched the first eBook, including the photographic work of the 10 administrators, who at that time were cooperating in the “WePhoto” group. Since then, we have published 16 eBooks and the Special edition “Calendar 2015”. We are now working on the eBook “France” of the “Different Vision” collection, and on the first eBook of the new collection. This new collection – The Series - is made of different eBooks, each one (or more than one if required) related to a specific photographic theme, including the artworks of several authors from Italy and abroad. The first eBook of this new collection has been dedicated to Landscape- cityscapes and seascapes.

Dick
Dick Visser Amsterdam, The Netherlands There’s many ways to enter the world of photography. I took the long road – and I feel it’s starting to pay off. After my professional education, focusing on design, layout and typography, I discovered the business side of the field by running an ad studio for five years. Missing the artistic element, I switched to one of the major Amsterdam photo labs, where I got to work with Photoshop, refining and touching up the images of many of the great Dutch photographers. Wanting to see the larger picture, my next step was to get involved in the international advertisement world. As a graphic designer an international advertising agency, I’ve been working for a number of high-end companies, with a strong personal emphasis on the visual aspect of our major productions. And then, after all those years of working with the images of fellow professionals, I suddenly felt the urge to look at the world through my own viewfinder. To decide what I want others to see. To pick my moment to release the shutter. This is what that looks like… 21 | WePhoto 2015 ©

Hallo everyone. I live and work in Rome. I’m just an amateur photographer. WHAT DO I THINK ABOUT... Photography is my biggest passion. For me, it’s a mistery to disclose, day after day. Like the first day. And like the last one, too.”’ 45 | WePhoto 2015 ©

The first roll of slides I did in 1978. And since then I have not stopped. I could end here in describing my passion. I do not know if it is a simplification, probably yes, but I still think it is sufficient to understand the passion that has hatched all these years. I would not want to sound arrogant because the passions never cease to amaze increasingly raising the bar of curiosity and creativity. I do not consider myself a creative, indeed, rather a witness of our times. I photographed and photographer of all with all that is available. I printed (and badly), I developed, I struggled. The last shot is always the best and the most beautiful is the one that will. I am firmly convinced. I like the new technologies, performance machines and technology but I’m learning to use a Polaroid SX 70 with the Impossible Project. I learned how to use a Mac but I’m thinking about the next development work with instant Fuji FP 3000b on back polaroid mounted on a Linhof Technika III. Leica has always been in my heart, at least until before the advent of digital technology, but it also failed with his Kodak Kodachrome 25 ASA Pro unattainable developed only in Germany and life teaches that those who are not able to adapt to the times is intended to succumb. So always ahead with a respectful regard, however, against the Great Masters of the past: Cartier Bresson, Brassai, Capa, Ansel Adams, Weston, Tina Modotti, etc. Koudelka. the Italian Ghirri, Giacomelli, Mulas, Branzi, Berengo Gardin, Basil, Roiter and I apologize if I forgot someone. And the contemporaries as Salgado, McCurry, Fontana, etc.. Continuous source of inspiration for all those who wish to approach to photography, perfect their technique, sharpen their vision.

Photography is, to me, the fun I spend too many hours. Actually I am a painter who can not draw and the camera is in an excellent replacement brushes. I am extremely interested in composition but still more light and as her model. I have no preference in the type of work (cityscape, portrait, ... b & w or color). I do not have official studies in this field and learn almost everything through hard work at the computer. 81 | WePhoto 2015 Š
