Wednesday, June 13, 2007Peter Read Miller - Let The Games Begin...The 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens saw the Games return to Greece and marked the first time digital cameras captured the bulk of the action The sporting event of 2004 was undoubtedly the Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. As one of Sports Illustrated's veteran staff photographers, Peter Read Miller is at the pinnacle of the sports journalism field. In the summer of 2004, between knee surgery and the beginning of football season, Miller was assigned, along with most of the best sports photographers in the world, to chronicle the historic 2004 Summer Games. |
Wednesday, June 13, 2007Al Satterwhite - Fields Of ColorAl Satterwhite made his mark with saturated color design. His refusal to be categorized has allowed him to leave it virtually everywhere. Not surprisingly, Al Satterwhite was an army brat. Born in Biloxi, Miss., his childhood followed the postings of his army father—to Germany, Indiana, New York, North Carolina, Georgia and eventually Florida—resulting in an imagination rooted less in place than the possibility of places. His photographic career has been no less peripatetic. |
Wednesday, June 13, 2007John Paul Caponigro - Caponigro On CaponigroThe renowned fine-art photographer and digital technology master goes one-on-one with himself in an exclusive DPP interview I do this professionally with other artists, so why can't I do it with myself? What's an interview? Questions and answers. I can ask questions. I can answer them. I love good questions and the insights they can bring. Questions lie at the heart of my work. My work is a product of asking questions, and it raises questions for those who see it. |
Wednesday, June 13, 2007Maki Kawakita - Tokyo Kabuki-Pop!Maki Kawakita's dynamic images are high concept and high fashion. Her rapid rise in photography stems from bold originality and boundless imagination. Some photographers just make you step back and marvel at their images. Right at the top of that list are those who first picked up a camera only a few years ago and have already achieved great commercial success, as well as a refined personal style that allows them to fully express their own singular artistic vision. That's Maki Kawakita. |
Wednesday, June 13, 2007Markus Klinko & Indrani - Galactic FashionThe collaborative team of Markus Klinko & Indrani does glamour and fashion with a special edge Partners in life as well as creativity are rare indeed. There are plenty of examples where one person focuses on the creative work while the other half of the team handles the financial and promotional side. Markus Klinko and Indrani are a unique team in which both partners drive the creativity of their projects, culminating in cutting-edge imagery that's evocative and dynamic. |
Wednesday, June 13, 2007Fabrik Studios - It's Still PhotographyEven with the latest digital tools on hand, Fabrik Studios relies on old-fashioned skills to make magic happen The photographers who comprise Fabrik Studios walk a fine line between art and commerce. Thanks to a proven track record, this trio of photographers, plus one digital imaging expert, is given the freedom to get creative—and often artistic and abstract as well—on most assignments with the products they're hired to photograph. Although they divide their time between two continents, the Fabrik team efficiently makes extraordinary images that clients not only want to publish, but want to display on their own walls. |
Wednesday, June 13, 2007Vincent Laforet - Improbable RealityVincent Laforet's photographs are rarified, captured milliseconds caught in an artist's light In a career that has spanned a variety of photographic genres, Vincent Laforet has been privileged to witness extra-ordinary events across the globe and close to home. From sports shooter to news photographer to fine artist, his talents and opportunities have allowed him to excel in every aspect of photography he has explored. As a devoted digital photographer, he's eager to see the technology continue to advance in capability and usefulness. |
Tuesday, June 12, 2007William Neill - Intimate NatureWorld-renowned fine-art nature photographer William Neill has found a fresh direction, thanks to a new digital camera When you talk to William Neill about what he's doing these days, you sense renewed energy in his voice. The photographer, who in many ways picked up the torch from Ansel Adams and has made the environs around Yosemite Valley his base camp, is doing things a little differently today. The grand landscape images for which he has become famous were largely created with a 4x5 view camera. For some of his recent work, Neill has been setting aside his 4x5 in favor of a digital SLR. Although he has been only recently shooting with the digital SLR, Neill has been considering digital for a long time. |
Tuesday, June 12, 2007Lois Greenfield - State Of GraceCombining photography and dance, Lois Greenfield reveals the elusive beauty of movement The photography of Lois Greenfield is an exploration of time as well as stunning images of dance. Performers frozen in space preserve a moment, and lead the viewer to ponder the moments before and after the fraction of a second captured by her camera. Greenfield's work inspires us to reevaluate how we see the world, and movement, in particular. |
