Wednesday, May 30, 2007Pete Turner - The Dr. No Of PhotographyPete Turner remains at the forefront of experimentation with new technology to create his most striking color images yet. Pete Turner's home, at the farthest end of Long Island, N.Y., is exactly the way one would imagine it to be: full of brilliant colors. Bold red curtains hang over the windows, bright blue seat-cushions cover the wooden dining room chairs and an oversized rainbow-colored umbrella sits in a bucket in the entryway. In the front hallway, a red sofa shaped like lips is reminiscent of Turner's iconic “Hot Lips” photograph created in 1967 for the cover of an album, Soul Flutes: Trust in Me. |
Wednesday, May 30, 2007Sara Remington - Good TasteThe art of food photography comes to fruition in Sara Remington's imagery. Simple, dynamic photographs are hallmarks of this young professional's work. The soft, pure image of simple, rustic foods is something to which any one of us can relate. It perhaps conjures memories of childhood picnics, of spending hours in the kitchen with relatives working over a piping-hot stove, of a first date with a special someone where you dined over candlelight with exotic-sounding produce and fruit de mere. |
Tuesday, May 29, 2007Timothy Greenfield-Sanders - The Portrait's The ThingFor an ambitious project spanning several years of the New York spectacle that's Fashion Week, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders shed his 8x10 view camera in favor of small-format digital capture Timothy Greenfield-Sanders is a master portrait photographer. Working with large-format film cameras for nearly 30 years, he has built a body of work that has earned him the reputation as one of the best at his craft. From artists to actors, presidents to porn stars, everybody who's anybody has sat for him. |
Tuesday, May 29, 2007Jeffrey Lamont Brown - Creating Something From NothingJeffrey Lamont Brown never attended any photography school nor did he study with masters of the medium, but that hasn't stopped him from building a successful career The French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre described the state of authenticity as the ultimate consummation of freedom, as drawing your purpose for being out of nothingness and creating something free from the bonds that restrain you to your past. If this is the case, Sartre would describe Jeffrey Lamont Brown's career as a tour de force of authenticity. An engineer with no prior knowledge of the photography industry, Brown plunged into photography authentically, yearning to connect with people and portray their stories on film. Void of expectation, he opened an exciting and wide aperture to his future. |
Tuesday, May 29, 2007Frans Lanting - LIFEFor world-renowned photographer Frans Lanting, the Life project became more than a display of photography Imagine a single idea that takes hold of you so powerfully that you devote significant parts of your next seven years bringing it to fruition. That was the epiphany that led to triumph for nature photographer Frans Lanting, the driving force behind Life: A Journey Through Time, and his world-class group of collaborators. Read More... |
Tuesday, May 29, 2007Max Morse, Carrie Schechter and Sara Remington - Pros Of The FutureDigital Photo Pro Spotlights Three Emerging Professional Photographers This is a challenging time to be a professional photographer. Business models are fundamentally changing, lucrative jobs are disappearing, studio space is more costly and, generally speaking, clients are demanding photographers to deliver more for less. In the midst of this upheaval, a new generation of professionals continues to emerge from photo schools around the world, eager and excited to make photography their profession. |
Friday, May 25, 2007Patrick Hoelck - Film NoirPatrick Hoelck's distinctively dark style casts today's brightest stars in a new light In the 1940s and '50s, during Hollywood's golden age of film noir, darkness ruled the silver screen. Actors' faces were often masked in shadow with highlights placed precisely for maximum dramatic effect. Los Angeles photographer Patrick Hoelck puts a modern twist on this classic approach, photographing today's biggest stars in his own unique world of shadow and light. |
Friday, May 25, 2007Max Morse - Making PicturesAlthough just beginning his professional career, Max Morse is already landing big jobs and in the process building an impressive portfolio of work At a small bar in the Southern California beach town of Manhattan Beach, I met up with Max Morse to talk about photography, images and plans for the future. Morse greets me with a quick wave, taking off a pair of white sunglasses and casually tossing them on the table. We shake hands and he ushers me to a seat and a cold pitcher of beer. |
Thursday, May 24, 2007Zena Holloway - Beneath The SurfaceZena Holloway has staked out underwater model work as her field, and she's definitely the big fish in a small pond In its purest form, it's odorless, colorless and tasteless. It's the universal solvent. It covers most of the earth, and it's essential for life. It's just water, but for Zena Holloway, it's also the key ingredient to a stunning photographic portfolio. |
