Lee Friedlander / Biography & Images - Atget Photography.com / Videos Books & Quotes. Photography has generally been defended on the ground that it is useful, in the sense that the McCormick reaper and quinine have been useful. Excellent and persuasive arguments have been developed in this spirit; these are well known and need not be repeated here. It should be added however that some of the very best photography is useful only as juggling, theology, or pure mathematics is useful --- that is to say, useless, except as nourishment for the human spirit. When Lee Friedlander made the photograph reproduced here he was playing a kind of game. The game is of undetermined social utility and might on the surface seem almost frivolous. The rules of the game are so tentative that they are automatically (though subtly) amended each time the game is successfully played. The chief arbiter of the game is Tradition, which records in a haphazard fashion the results of all previous games, in order to make sure that no play that won before will be allowed to win again.
Friedlander. Olivier Duong » Insights gleaned from Lee Friedlander’s photography. Photograph Copyright Lee Friedlander [I] eat, drink, sleep photography, but due to constraints, I have been loosing my inspiration lately. Theologians back then called this “Dark night of the soul”. My partner-friend-self appointed grandpa Don suggested I learn about the past, I reluctantly accepted. He’s turning senile but he occasionally is the voice of wisdom…ish. But what do you know? I am starting with Lee Friedlander, as I feel that I understand where he is coming from. Who’s Lee Friedlander in a nutshellIt’s really something to see a photograph appear in developer. This early spark lit his passion for photography and is credited for being one of the photographers that developed photography as an art form. His career was propelled when he had an exhibition alongside Garry Winogrand and Diane Arbus called “New Documents”.

The last days of London - in pictures | Cities. Detroit - Bruce Gilden. Background My work on foreclosed homes in Detroit has actually been a continuation of a project that started in Fort Myers, Florida in September 2008. For me the major concentration of the work is on the houses or what’s left of the houses.
I chose to photograph them mostly straight on like my street work in a very blunt fashion. To let the houses speak for themselves. After going to Florida and continuing in Detroit I realized that foreclosure is one part of a circle. Certain areas look like Berlin after World War II or like Beirut. What was really sad for me in Detroit was that many of the destroyed houses were well made and beautiful houses at one time, they were like Grande Dames. alec soth: in the pool of images. Represented by the Magnum agency, collected by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, commissioned by the New York Times and The New Yorker and head of his own publishing house, Little Brown Mushroom, Alec Soth is about as credible as a contemporary documentary photographer can get. His new exhibition, Gathered Leaves, at London's Science Museum (they're partnered with the National Media Museum in Bradford, hence their Media Space, focusing on photography and film) includes the span of his four major bodies of work from his first book, Sleeping by the Mississippi (published in 2004), until now.
Shown chronologically, it reveals the evolution of his work, and the constant exploration of the vast expanse of the USA. Is it still better to see a photo in an exhibition or a book, rather than online? A book to me is the album, like vinyl, and there's been this resurgence, because people want this tactile thing. The exhibition is like the live show.

After Lights Out2013 After Lights Out traite de l'omniprésence de la lumière dans nos sociétés contemporaines et dépeint un univers alternatif dans lequel celle-ci aurait disparu. Chaque photo présente des manifestations lumineuses isolées prenant des formes énigmatiques, voir ésotériques, rappelant les paysages nocturnes de Robert Adams. J'ai cherché à travers cette série à attirer l'attention sur le rapport mystérieux qui nous lie à la lumière, sur la relation que nous entretenons avec elle, sur sa superficialité et la dépendance dans laquelle elle nous plonge.

Les fabuleuses photos d’animaux de Manuela Kulpa. Manuela Kulpa est une photographe allemande amoureuse des animaux et de la nature en général.
A travers ses clichés elle souhaite montrer la beauté, la richesse et l’importance de notre environnement et à quel point il est vital de le préserver. Sa dernière série de photos intitulée « African Souls » montre le côté incroyablement humain des animaux d’Afrique. Les retouches sont superbes mais, au-delà de celles-ci, c’est bien l’instant à laquelle la photo est prise qui donne autant d’impact. L’artiste explique d’ailleurs qu’elle attend de très longs moments pour capturer l’éclairage, l’attitude et le regard parfait. Pour en voir davantage, visitez son portfolio et son 500px.

Saul Leiter. “To say that he flourishes at the top in the Mount Olympus of New York photography is saying a great deal. He is right up there with the amazing heights of photographic history itself. He’s more abstract than many, he’s more constructive than several but he’s also more soulful than a great many.” Max Kozloff (Art Historian) Saul Leiter’s ground-breaking work in photography and painting is only now receiving the international recognition it deserves.
Leiter’s earliest black and white photographs show an extraordinary affinity for the medium, and by 1948 he began to experiment in color. Leiter has made an enormous and unique contribution to street photography. Martin Harrison, editor and author of Saul Leiter Early Color, writes, “Leiter’s sensibility…placed him outside the visceral confrontations with urban anxiety associated with photographers such as Robert Frank or William Klein.
Garry Winogrand. Le Jeu de Paume présente la première rétrospective, depuis vingt-cinq ans, du grand photographe américain Garry Winogrand (1928-1984). Chroniqueur célèbre de l’Amérique de l’après-guerre, Winogrand est encore mal connu, tant il a laissé de travail à accomplir — au moment de sa mort prématurée — dans l’archivage, le développement et le tirage de ses photographies. Il est cependant sans conteste l’un des maîtres de la photographie de rue américaine, au même titre qu’Evans, Frank, Friedlander ou Klein. Célèbre pour ses photographies de New York et de la vie aux États-Unis depuis les années 1950 jusqu’au début de la décennie 1980, Winogrand cherche à savoir « à quoi ressemblent les choses quand elles sont photographiées ».
Organisée conjointement par le SFMOMA et la National Gallery of Art de Washington, l’exposition « Garry Winogrand » réunit les images les plus emblématiques de l’artiste et des tirages inédits puisés dans les archives, en grande partie inexplorées, de la fin de sa vie.
