has also been pressing his shutter during the struggles in the Libyan Revolution, but also covered plenty of other moments on the international scene, such as the big Royal Wedding, catching the highly-anticipated kiss of William and Kate of England. We decided to focus the interview on his experience in the Olympic Winter Games held in Sochi, Russia. This big event happened in February of the current year, and covered more than 15 winter sport disciplines. Leon was there as a team leader to catch every moment of the event, and he shares some of his favourite pictures with us.

son is far more important to me than any picture of someone firing a gun. In a single day, I experienced four near-death experiences. I know plenty of photographers that thrive on that kind of thing. Sadly, some of those are only interested in the rush and not sharing images that will bring the war to an end.
How do you visually prepare your shooting? Do expectations often come to reality? Expectations are the worst thing that a press photographer can have. Unlike a studio photographer who can shape the world to match their preconceived concepts, we work with what we’re given. I lost track of the times in my first few years in the job that I got excited before an event because I had an image in my mind that would be the big picture of the event. When it comes to it, you have very little control over what happens. This is a double-edged sword though, as the downside is that you’re at the mercy of the situation but the upside is that you can never tell when the picture that stays in your portfolio for many years will happen. This isn’t the job for control freaks!
Besides the photographic equipment, what is that a photographer should really take with him before going to the Winter Games? My honest answer is: “a lot less than I took”. Covering the Winter Games, you would expect warm clothing, ice grips, thermal gloves, hand warmers and torches to be a priori-

Overall considerations. Was it a success for you? Sochi 2014 was my first Olympics as a team leader, so I had a bit more responsibility than usual and despite a massive workload and demand for content, the photographers and editors at AFP did a fantastic job. Personally, I was concerned going into the Games that I wouldn’t be able to find new angles on the sports, considering I covered the same disciplines at Vancouver 2010. Thankfully, I think I managed that so I’m happy to say that yes, it was. 7

S
ome days ago, we contacted an american naturalist photographer, Art Wolfe. His images and his strict connection to the nature, tied to the will of preserving it in its poetical beauty, ensure that his pictures not only have an aesthetic value, but even a moral one. Everything, in Art’s works seems ethereal and immutable, as the testimonies of the native populations that the photographer got to know in his long travels around the world. It isn’t easy to share a message coming from something as static as the natural flora is, yet Art is able to catch the hidden message, almost cryptic, that our planet sends us. « What we call Nature is a poem that lies locked in a mysterious, wondrous script », claimed the philosopher Friedrich Schelling. Let’s read it in the pictures of Art Wolfe.

How do you spend your time when you are not taking pictures? I am a photographer and an artist to my very core and there is very little time that I am not taking pictures to be honest. It is truly a 365 day a year job for me. That said - when ever I return from a trip I have a beautiful garden landscape at my home in West Seattle, WA that was inspired by the landscapes of the Hang Shan mountains in China. I have flowing streams, waterfalls, and bonsaied trees of pines

Tell us a bit about your photographic process, from the raw idea to the end. I have an extensive library in my home full of art books from photographers to painters to sculptors. Here I get a lot of my inspiration for new works, for traveling the world to new locations and I’ll often sketch ideas for future photoshoots on paper. At times these can come in handy when there is a language barrier, a quick sketch of what I had in mind can convey an idea much faster than trying to describe it through an interpreter (where there is an interpreter available).
through as well. A judicious and studied use of positive and negative space in the image, pattern and repetition all come in to play in what makes for a successful image. I am strongly influenced by my studies of Art History and the same elements that make for an amazing painting that has stood the test of centuries will be found in the most successful photographs as well.

What is that ties you most to the nature? I have been a naturalist and conservationist since I was a young child. I roamed the wooded ravines of West Seattle growing up getting to know the local flora and fauna through guide books. Once I could drive my circle expanded and it has never stopped. My goal has always been to share the beautiful corners of the earth, the hidden wonders that most will never see with their own eyes in the hopes that more and more people will realize what an amazing planet this is that we all share and why it is we should care about it and be the best possible stewards of nature that we collectively can be.
If you could pick up an artist from the past to cooperate with, who would you choose? There would be a long list of them - most of my favorites are painters from the classics of Monet and Manet to contemporary artists like Toby and Pollack. If I were to pick just one I have always enjoyed the work of M.C. Escher. I even did a book called “Migrations” where you can see a strong influence from his work in my images. So I suppose it would be fun to collaborate with him on a project.
In your career, you published more than 65 books. Is there a book that you love in particular that you want to suggest to the readers who have just discovered your work? I have always loved books, I buy my fellow photographers books by the arm load and have an overflowing library of them at my home. My best book, my magnum opus, will be released later this year and is titled “Earth is my Witness”. This is a collection of my best work from throughout my carer and I spent the last 3 years traveling the world specifically with that book in mind finding new locations and photographing new species of animals that I have always wanted to shoot (Humpback Whales underwater, Pumas in Patagonia and Jaguars in the Pantanal for example) and this will be the book that the readers will want to see.

Did you join the photography world on your own,
or was this passion transmitted by someone else?
Since I was a child, I was extremely attracted by the drawer where my parents used to put all our family photos. I spent some hours looking at them, it calmed me to look at those albums. So, I would say that I liked more looking at pictures than taking them. Who convinced me to buy my first camera was a friend, Peppe, who I thank profoundly for teaching me the basis.

They had nothing to do with the modern digital photography. This pushed me to start shooting in analogue, experimenting with different kinds of films, sizes and techniques, such as using dust and digital prints on the negatives to be developed, a sort of ‘manual’ post production. Every time I am more and more surprised and satisfied from the results. Recently, thanks to David La Tache, founder of the website ishotpix.com, I had the chance to get photographic passes for various musical events where I shoot galleries in analogue, trying to get that atmospheres from the pictures that used to fascinate me (a thing I like).

n April 27th, the world of photography celebrated the Pinhole Photography Day. In this day, we remembered on our online page the birth of photography thanks to the pinhole. On this kind of photography, our italian friend, Eleonora Pellegri, has based her lifestyle. Before reading further, let us introduce you to the pinhole world. Imagine that this technique exists since 800 and more years ago. A pin hole is a very small hole made on a box which contains a film. The hole, works like a sort of lens and the light from a scene passes through this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box. The resulting image, isn’t very sharp and usually a smaller hole gives better outcomes, but it requires a longer time of exposure. The picture on the left, was shot by Eleonora this year’s Pinhole Day. Let’s read what she has to tell us about this process!
Hello Eleonora, please introduce yourself to our readers.

Tricks or tips for using a pinhole camera? I should advice that you don’t have to be afraid of the support you use. When I started my pinhole adventure, I was only worrying about the correct exposition, so the anxiety I was feeling was destroying the pleasure of shooting and I

This will help you to get to know better your camera, and will give you a clue about the times to use. When you get past the exposure time problem, you can look around and compose your image.

In this issue, we introduce a new section: Readers’ Portfolio. To clarify the matter, we explain what we mean below. A portfolio is a set of images that have in common a final idea or feeling, or a certain photographic technique. In our case we ask you to send us a portfolio with an open theme, with a minimum of 4 photos to a maximum of 12. The maximum size should be 20x30 in 300DPI via mail to rewindstaff@gmail.com We would also like a brief description of your pictures. Rewind Staff

Arabesques of Fire The pictures I am presenting represent a particular moment that I live when I photograph the fireworks: the happiness. This is why my project is called “Arabesques of Fire”. It might seem strange, but with everything that usually photographers take pictures at, I chose to shoot fireworks using long exposures. These, go along well with the concept of joy, armony, happiness, freedoom. This kind of photography let me travel around the world, sharing joy with other people who were seeing this games of fire into the sky, giving light to people’s feelings. I like to put into the composition some monuments or objects that make the moment unforgettable. I used a Canon Eos 1100D and a Canon Eos 70D with aTamron 17-50 mm F2.8, a Samyang 8 mm F3.5, and a Tamron 10-24 mm F3.5-4.5

Andrea Facco Panocreative The pictures that I present here are part of a photographic project on architecture called ‘Panocreative’, a word which combines the words of panorama and creativity. As you can see from the title, this is a set of pictures really different from the common panoramas, usually applied to landscapes instead of architecture, as in this case. The idea of vertical panoramas of buildings is born from my search of documenting the architectures in a personal way. Indeed, I am a student of the Faculty of Architecture of Genova, and in my years of study, I had to approach this kind of photography. For this reason, I later thought of a new work, dedicated to architecture photography, that could represent me. The common technique to take a picture of architecture, is often tied to an extreme precision, and I think that this is sometimes hard to use or it is just not enough interpretive, unable to express feelings. I chose a completely different and against-the-stream technique to document buildings that could be descriptive of the places I visit but, somehow, could also use a personal point of view. The pictures follow and take the point of view of an ideal observer that moves his sight in different directions, from the ground to the ceiling. This pictures were taken without a tripod, with a Nikon D300s and a 12-24 mm f4 by tokina. The pictures are taken in Genova, Milan, Turin, Barcelona. I searched for similar buildings in every city to compare the different epoques. Follow Andrea on: Website: www.andreafacco.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/andrea.facco

Keep on sharing your pictures on our group, or join our next competition. We want to see some nice long exposition photography. Therefore, take yourself a good tripod and a lot of patience and go and photograph some landscape, a building, or a model. The picture has to be longer than 2sec.
