da1lyoperations Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I should have posted this earlier, it's been in my bookmarks for fucking ages. Shot by Brooke Smith who was the girl in the well in Silence Of The Lambs. Turns out she'd been documenting the New York hardcore scene before she was acting. If you like New York and you like hardcore then this is a sweet find. http://streetbonersandtvcarnage.com/blog/old-new-york-hardcore-photos/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayorMeanBeans Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Alex Webb Coincidentally, Magnum's annual meeting fell on the weekend prior to the 9/11 attacks. Subsequently, most of the world's best photographers were in NYC at once. IT WAS A CONSPIRACY recent photo, i like how he makes stuff i see everyday look interesting, and how he makes extraordinary things look everyday..... he has a way of equalizing everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da1lyoperations Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 This thread is taaaking off! Nice. PS. How about we do something like 5 photos per photographer? Along with a link of course, but it's just a nice little overview here and we can do more exploring. I was just doing it because it gives a quick feel for the style but it could be easier all round.

greyghost Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 heya da1ly, woa, totally didnt know about that girl from silence of the lambs. crazy! that mustve been insane to be in nyc during that time!! holy crap. yea, i love just about any era photos documenting nyc (other cities as well), especially different histories of evolving scenes in b&w. there used to be a hardcorish scene when i was in hs, i sorta new people and it was meshed in with rave kids,,, i wasnt so into it musically, tho,, but it was the like 3/4/5th 'local' gen recycled version,,, def not the blag flag era, heh. i wasnt even a fetus then ;) i can do the 5 pic thing,,,more is cool too, whatevs u likes.. mayor, ur selection is sweet ! harvey's are beautiful and airy and the textures, mood, and colors are really wonderful and natural and fresh. youre right, a beautiful life indeed. mustve been some adventure! yesss to cartier-bresson, sir! yay for the man with the balloons. i likes. ive a framed print/poster of his: la Rotonde, france 1970. daily inspiration. this one: oh, if we wanted to do some more of the 'masters', doisneau could be next,,, pretty well-known one, still great romantic classic, 'the kiss at the hotel de ville' is one of my favs. and cheers to severin ! i didnt even see who it was and i immediately recognized the one through the glass that looks like kafka/artaud! haha! i used to have a couple of accounts on an old art/lit sharing forum/community online thingy where he was in his earlier years (pre-army i think). i just had a look recently @ his website/new work-- he's improved so much! incredible! small, tiny internet world as well. o mans.

da1lyoperations Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Severin is great huh, that photo through the glass is just perfect, I think even the reflection works well. I showed that to a few other people who just shrugged. Some people have no appreciation! Haha. If you like the Brooke Smith hardcore photos you should check out Clayton Patterson and the movie "Captured". I had this on a burnt disc but I'm gonna pick up a real copy, it's timeless. It's hard to find his photographs but he documented the Lower East Side of Manhattan for years. Illegal tattoo shops, gangs, bikies, drag queens, prostitutes and hard-core skinheads. Everything. Such an in depth documentation of the LES that a lot of people never knew about. Something about NYC is always just so raw so I love any photographers who managed to capture exactly that. PS. You should post more minimalist landscapes! I can't get enough, I spent hours staring at Mitch Dobrowner's site the other day. I'm gonna shoot some Medium Format landscape over the weekend and next few weeks. Feeling inspired! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyghost Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 ^eff yea ! what a fuckin gritty experience. you're right, even i didn't realize all that went down on the les,,, holy fuck. sometimes i feel so strange viewing so much of crazy history like that on the interwebs...its crazy but cool that we get to see it all documented in our nested, compressed digital worlds, browsers of decades of footage, lol, even if we weren't around yet to experience it... man! of course i know lots what about went down there in the 50s, etc. but not so much later except for perhaps filmmakers/artists/kids work that came out of there/influenced by the poverty/grime/apathy/ennui/chaos of the 70s/80s being there (jarmusch, lurie, basquiat, etc.,...im sure youve seen 'downtown 81'....)), mustve been so frenetic and insane,,, while the living conditions were horrid, theres certainly some kind of magic that occurred creatively, no doubt. i love how he says 'like being in an aquarium' i always feel like im underwater wandering cities with a camera....weird. ,,,,the self-portrait through the cracked glass = fucking phenomenal. christ. sweet dude on the medium 4mat landscapes ! since youre in australia, i imagine youve some pretty fantastic views! i know what you mean....dobrowner's stuff is so mesmerizing,,, i could get lost for hours listening to music and going thru all of his work. i feel like after staring @ his images ive been somwhere amazing,,,, haha. im lame & a sap. i knoes ;) are you gonna post your work on one of other threads? ...if so, cant wait to see how they turn out!

da1lyoperations Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Haha I definitely know what you mean about feeling like you've been somewhere else. There's something so powerful about images like that, a snapshot of the same beach/mountains/trees will never do the same justice. We've definitely got some great landscapes but I'm not too close to any of them, I'll have to plan a few day trips but hopefully if the weather's good I'll head out this Sunday and shoot some B&W 120 film. I'll post them up in the photography thread, most stuff I put on Flickr goes in there. You should be able to find my Flickr/blog links lurking in there, haha.

greyghost Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 'master' (arguably): Robert Doisneau (April 14, 1912, Gentilly, Val-de-Marne – April 1, 1994[1]) was a French photographer. In the 1930s he used a Leica on the streets of Paris; together with Henri Cartier-Bresson he was a pioneer of photojournalism. official portfolio: http://www.robert-doisneau.com/fr/portfolio/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da1lyoperations Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Love those shots. How's this for a slight change of pace, Gregory Crewdson. http://www.aperture.org/crewdson/ "Gregory Crewdson (born September 26, 1962) is an American photographer who is best known for elaborately staged, surreal scenes of American homes and neighborhoods."

da1lyoperations Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Phillip Toledano http://www.mrtoledano.com/ Known for "Days With My Father" http://www.dayswithmyfather.com/ A really moving photo essay. A lot of his work is very different to what we usually see in photography but he has some great sets. I won't post any because they all have stories, some which he explains on the site. But he's worth checking out for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qsysue Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 What a stunning thread. I mainly only look at stuff my flickr contacts do, they're my biggest inspiration. Here's some streams some of you might want to check out--none of them are pros (that I know of). http://www.flickr.com/photos/n_ipper/ Jonathan is a New Zealander who lives in China. He does awesome street stuff of drug addicts and sketchy mobster-looking characters: Untitled by K_iwi, on Flickr Untitled by K_iwi, on Flickr He has a fascinating set of people who live in cubicle and cage homes: Untitled by K_iwi, on Flickr Untitled by K_iwi, on Flickr He recently visited a Leprosy clinic in a rural area: This may be my fave by him--but check out his stream, everything he posts is stunning. Look close. Do you see the little child? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da1lyoperations Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Gonna bump this, can't remember if anyone has posted it, but Trent Parke is inspiring me a lot lately. Australian photographer from Newcastle (2 hours from Sydney?) but moved to Sydney for a while. I remember in school a lot of people used his work for case studies while I was more interested in other work at the time but now that I've taken the time to look through all of his work I'm more impressed then ever. The only Australian who is a part of Magnum. Him and his wife traveled Australia in a van shooting and he created his first book from that. I love the way he shoots for the highlights. The photos of the Sydney CBD are exactly how the light looks to the eye, something I always want to capture. Because of the way the sun sets and all of the buildings we always get this really harsh lighting. And here's some work from his wife, Arelle Autio, born in Adelaide.

bourgeoisie Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I love this thread. Camilla Akrans. Nothing gritty or crazy about her work (pretty sure she only does fashion shoots tho..) Just very feminine, pretty… dreamy. My absolute favourite photographer. [/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
