Podcasts about Graflex

On this episode of the Camerosity Podcast, the guys took a suggestion off the top of the Camerosity Suggestion Box™ and dedicated this episode to medium format SLRs.  That's right, finally, an entire episode dedicated to Bronica, Mamiya, Rolleiflex, Kiev, and Norita SLRs (but not that H-brand). Joining Anthony, Paul, Theo, and Mike on this show are returning callers A.J. Gentile, Brian Zeman, Miles Libak, Will Pinkham, and first time callers Andrew Wells, Fernando from Germany, Henry Blanton, Robert Wawrzinek, and Tom Zoss. The show gets off to a quick start with the Bronica system, one that Mike has limited experience with, but the listeners make quick work out of recommending an accessory that Mike immediately decided he needed.  Our love for this Japanese SLR starts with the early S-series, moves into the GS, and finally ETRS series, but one is a clear favorite. Another well received SLR is the Kowa Six which Mike has been tirelessly shooting in the weeks prior to this show, ready to share his thoughts.  Anthony and Andrew both share their strong desires to own a Rolleiflex SL66, and Fernando shares his love for Soviet and East German medium format SLRs. A huge number of "less common" cameras like the KW Reflex Box, VEB WEFO Master Reflex, Fujita Six, Folmer-Graflex National Graflex, and both the horizontal and vertical versions of the Ihagee Exakta 66 get their mentions.  We point out the 6x6 SLR with the fastest medium format lens ever made, who is best to repair Mamiya SLRs, and ponder the age old question, "Why didn't anyone ever make a 6x9 SLR?" We get a little off topic, discussing John Minnick's Aero-Liberator SLRs used by Graham Burnett, Graflex's "Stove Top" SLRs, and Tom Zoss's custom Graflex XL with a very wide Rodenstock lens on it.  Plus, as an added bonus, we cover the only 16mm SLR in any of our collections, the KMZ Narciss SLR! As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you! Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show. We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. Our next episode will be Episode 80 and we're taking the opportunity to dedicated this episode to cameras of the 80s (you get to pick the century).  The 1980s saw a huge advancement in auto focus SLRs, the use of lightweight plastics, and the beginning of the "bridge camera" era.  If you're fans of gems like the Nikon FM2, Minolta X-700, Leica M6, or the Yashica Samurai, this is the episode for you!  We will record Episode 80 on Monday, October 28th at 7pm Central Daylight Time and 8pm Eastern Daylight Time.

#64 The Hell of the North   Our second catch up show of the year once again saw the return of Simon to the fold who, it turns out, has had sufficient time off to be reinvigorated and enthused for all things LFPP. What does that mean? Well, more shows we hope, at least three a year……   Things we chatted about on the show: As we didn't have a guest on show 63 Simon kicked things off by thanking those who had so very kindly sent in Ko-Fi donations (see link to the LFPP Ko-Fi site somewhere at the end of these notes) with nice words as well. So very appreciated and well, considering we haven't had a show out since, a tad humbling.   One of the donors to the show mentioned Conflict Cameras who are making superb progress with an auto focus large format camera, I know, right! The mind boggles. Anyway follow along here whilst we see if they can be a guest on the show. https://www.instagram.com/conflict.cameras/   Simon had just come back from another “#MerseyMeetup” organised by the nicest Liverpudlian we know Steve Starr https://twitter.com/Stig_Ofthedump   George Walsh was there, we spoke about George and his repairs to Graflex cameras back on show 63 and George is another guest we have lined up.  George's Facebook details are here:  (18) George Walsh | Facebook should you have a similar request.   Erik brought us up to date with his large format photo journalist escapades on the Paris to Roubaix cycle race in Northern France, this race was named “The Hell of the North” by those who took part in its inaugural 1919 outing, just one year after the WW1 Armistice when the land was, well, like hell on earth. Erik is getting his work published which is fantastic, here is the latest piece in the Radavist Cycling journal.   https://theradavist.com/paris-roubaix-femmes-2023-ef-education-tibco-svb-team-interviews/?fbclid=IwAR1_uJip13ID1Bor5Jj1wx0G7t805daYUgHtDFmsa9t4uSg8A5eWJoPAFp4   Erik explains how he loves to use orthochromatic film and how it fitted in well with this project as its close to the emulsion that would have been available at the time plus he was using his modified Kodak 3A till it broke, a camera that would also have been around back then over 100 years ago.   Erik also took with him a modified Polaroid roll film camera he 800 which can be modified to take 4x5 film here is a link but there are others out there if you are interested in doing the same thing. https://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?121626-Mahogany-Polaroid-800-conversion-to-4x5   Foma Film are or have introduced a 400 speed Ortho film which is a welcome addition to those who love that unique look where reds turn very dark and skies are very light (as are blue eyes) read more here… https://www.foma.cz/ew/9e5c83a3-3971-4ee3-ac98-dbb6878ff953-en   Whilst in France Erik visited the grave or memorial to John Kipling (Rudyard Kipling's Son) – and interesting story about him on the BBC History site. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-35321716 Andrew brought us up to date on his “What lies beneath” project looking at the modern day landscape around the numerous WW1 grave sites around the Ypres Salient.  Andrew started this project back in 2017 and shared some images and thoughts on his blog. https://andrewbartram.wordpress.com/2017/11/06/what-lies-beneath-the-beginning-of-a-journey-with-a-large-format-camera/   This time, with more negatives to add to the collection he intends to make 5x7 Warmtone prints for scanning then fibre prints with typed notes for a “box set”.   Anyway its good to have a project. Finally, Andrew spoke about our previous guest, Jeff Perry https://www.instagram.com/20thcenturycamera/?hl=en and the astonishingly bad times he is currently going through.

Movement at the Still Point, An Ode to Dance In this episode of  “Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey, join host Joanne Carey as she chats with Special Guest: Mark Mann, renowned Celebrity Photographer, who found himself, like all of us, silent and without a space to create during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown. For an artist, not being able to create is lonely, for a dancer, not being able to move, is a daily death. Enter sister-in-law, Loni Landon, choreographer, dancer & movement director living in NYC who suggested to Mark to take some photographs of her community who were hurting as well. Together with Loni, Jacob Levy (Mark's producer) along with a host of other yes's, and over 140 dancers, a collaboration was born that transcends any photographic lens. Mark says it best: "In what had been my first moment of stillness, I discovered boundless humanity in their movement. This book is a testament to the power of their expression, in movement and stillness." MARK MANN is a renowned celebrity and advertising photographer who originally hails from the sun-soaked streets of Glasgow Scotland. The countless list of famous faces photographed in Mann's unique and recognizable style includes President Barack Obama, President Bill Clinton, Iggy Pop, Rihanna, Martin Scorcese, Jennifer Aniston, Stevie Wonder, Eartha Kitt, Robin Williams, Emma Stone, Bill Murray, Jessica Lange, Arthur Miller, Margot Robbie, Robert Redford, Queen Latifah, Michael Douglas, Gillian Anderson, Dave Chappelle, Olivia Wilde, Bradley Cooper, Willie Nelson, Sean Connery and many more. Mark's editorial work has appeared in Esquire, Men's Health, Vibe, Spin, Fortune, Billboard, Parade, and Complex, and his clients include Reebok, Adidas, Hennessy, Bombay Sapphire, Pepsi, Gillette, Vitamin Water, NHL, Zumba, Ford, Chrysler, and Svedka to name a few. Always hungry for new subjects and challenges Mark has spearheaded his own projects over the years, one of which was creating a collection of LUCHA LIBRE wrestlers.  Where all the photographs were shot on a vintage Graflex camera using polaroid instant film. Most recently he was struck by the contrast of dancing bodies to his traditional portraits in a new body of work which culminated in a book titled Movement at The Still Point: an Ode to Dance published by Rizzoli International in March 2023.  Mark was born in Glasgow, where he lived until he was accepted to the prestigious photographic program at Manchester Polytechnic. Upon graduating Mark was immediately taken under the wing by innovative fashion photographers, Nick Knight and Miles Aldridge, where he learned the ropes and quickly built his own body of work. Three years later, Mark started shooting on his own and relocated to New York City where 26 years later he still lives with his wife and son, and their recently adopted Chihuahua, Shaq. https://movementatthestillpoint.com/ Follow @markmannphoto on Instagram Follow Joanne Carey on Instagram @westfieldschoolofdance And follow  “Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey wherever you listen to your podcasts.

In a first for the Camerosity Podcast, we finally dive into the wonderful world of Graflex press cameras and other 4x5 cameras.  If you thought Camerosity only meant 35mm, medium format roll film, and subminis, this is the episode that will shake up everything you know about us! For episode 43, we had a packed house (although there was one significant omission).  Joining the gang on this show was first time caller, and owner of Graflex Parts, Graham Burnett, along with Andy Pham, Daniel Belmes, Eric J, Greg McCreash, Howard Sandler, Jess Hobbs, Marcy Merrill, Mario Piper and his wife Julianne Piper, Mark Faulkner, Nick Marshall, Patrick Casey, and Robert Rotoloni. Together, topics ranging far and wide from the history of Folmer & Schwing, the company who made the first Graphic cameras, to differences between all the models, where to start if you've never shot a Graflex before, development tips, and all sorts of information that people who love these cameras want you to know.  In addition to discussions about Graflex press cameras, we also get into a few other 4x5 cameras like the Busch Pressman and Burke & James versions.  Greg McCreash is back to talk about his massive Combat Graflex, and we even touch upon some of the 35mm Graflex cameras. If you've ever wanted to know something about these wonderful cameras, this is the episode you'll want to hear! As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  We would love to hear from more listeners, especially those who are new to shooting film or collecting cameras.  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are new to shooting and are interested in having an episode dedicated to people new to the hobby, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, and right here on mikeeckman.com.  We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. The guys and I have had a great time talking about Graflex, Argus, Contax, and Pentax, and for our next episode, we are going to divert a bit from our regular format and just discuss what we've been working on lately and some topics we'd like to share with you all, so there won't be any option to dial in for the next episode.  Maybe we'll still have a special guest for you, maybe not!  You'll just need to stay tuned for that one. We will resume our normal call in for episode 45 though, which we will record on Monday, March 20th.  We don't yet know what we'll talk about then, but be sure to stay tuned for the official announcement!

No one has recently challenged the Camerosity Podcast as the "Nerdiest Film Photography Podcast" but that won't stop us from further proving that point by taking a trip to the USA! No, not that USA, this time I am talking about the United States of Argus!  For Episode 42 we invite two special guests, both members of the Argus Collector's Group, Phillip Sterritt and Mike Reitsma.  Phil and Mike both have an otherworldly level of knowledge about Argus and their cameras, their history, rare versions, and what the best Arguses are to use. Although we spend a great deal of time on Argus, in this episode, we venture into a huge number of other American cameras worth checking out, like ANSCO, Perfex, Clarus, Universal, Falcon, Detrola, Ciro-Flex, Graflex, Wollensak, Winpro, and many others! Joining us on this episode are collectors and first time callers Eric Risse, Pat Casey, and retired US Navy Photographer Greg McCreash who at the very end of the show busts out one of the most amazing American Cameras ever made, but I don't want to spoil it for you, so you'll just have to listen to the episode (or read the show notes).  In addition to Eric, Pat, and Greg are returning guests Dan Hausman, and Robert Rotoloni. On the episode we cover a ton of history, what is an extinction meter and how does it work, our recommendations on which American cameras you should try if you've never shot an American camera before, and Theo discovers a rare Australian Argus in his collection that he didn't even know he had! As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  We would love to hear from more listeners, especially those who are new to shooting film or collecting cameras.  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are new to shooting and are interested in having an episode dedicated to people new to the hobby, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining!

On this episode of Dev Party, Vania and Eric (@surfmartian and @conspiracy.of.cartographers on IG) talk about going back to locations shot long ago. Vania developed Kodak Ektachrome in one of Cinestill's slide film developers (and once she's experimented with it more, we'll do an episode about it). Here are her shots:     Meanwhile, Eric revisited a couple of places that he had shot before. When he first shot these spots, he used a Holga with some sort of expired Fuji slide film xpro'd in C-41 a decade ago. Ten years later, he returned with a Graflex and Fomapan 100 devved in FA-1027. Here they are, side by side.   PATREON Thank you to everyone who supports us! Check out our Patreon for bonus episodes, extended interviews, early drops.

Päivän jaksossa kauhistellaan Mikon hajonnutta FED 5-kameraa (reklamaatiota kirjoitetaan paraikaa!), puhutaan sentimaalisesta suhtautumisesta kameroihin, niiden korjaamisesta, Arin bajamajan kokoisesta Graflexista ja valokuvauksesta.

Full show notes and photos: www.allthroughalens.com   One this, our first Dev Party of the season, we answer part of the question: what did we do on our summer vacation. In this case, we fired off model rockets with cameras attached to them. Specifically, we shot a pair of Estes Astrocam 110s in the Alvord Desert, Oregon. With each launch (when we remembered to set the shutter), the rocket-camera took a photo. It was almost always a bad photo, but a photo nonetheless. Both Eric and Vania had their own rockets. They shot a few pics with the rocket-camera, attempting to use it as a regular camera. Those, oddly enough, worked better. They both loaded the same rolls into a Kraft Velveeta 110 promotional camera and shot with that for a week or so. Here are some shots from Eric's roll (some were shot by Vania):   And here are some shots from Vania's roll (some were shot by Eric):   Meanwhile, Vania developed a color roll she shot in the Graflex 2×3 (with a square back for some reason): END CREDITS www.allthroughalens.com Vania: IG, Flickr, Zines, Website Eric: IG, Flickr, Zines, ECN-2 Kits

When we started the B&H Photography Podcast more than six years ago, the concept was “watercooler conversations” with photographers, about gear. Well, honestly, it hasn’t always turned out that way, but this episode with famed photojournalist David Burnett comes as close to that idea as any we have done; there’s barely an edit in the whole episode. Burnett joins us, and we just talk. We start with his coverage of the recent presidential inauguration and his decision to use a 1930 Graflex 4 x 5 camera in addition to his Sony mirrorless with an FE 100-400mm lens. Burnett reflects on the reasons he incorporates vintage cameras and lenses into his workflow and the need to challenge your own point of view as a photographer. We discuss the motivations that bring a particular camera to his eye and his sense of “obligation to all that has come before.” In the second half of the show, we talk about using legacy glass on mirrorless cameras and the relentless (and at times “goofy”) experimentation that both Burnett (and Allan) enjoy. From aerial reconnaissance lenses to old Kodak cine lenses, there is nothing that can’t be adapted, and we go into the weeds to discuss some of the many, many lenses Burnett has not just tried, but used successfully for his professional assignments. We also ask about the new Sony Alpha 1, the benefits of customizable functions, and his preference for the Sony a9 II and a6600 cameras. Join us for this easygoing conversation.

Yo-ho! We’re on this week’s show, we’re talking to Pete Halvorsen (@petehalvorsen on IG) about his seaside photography. Following that, we’ll plumb the depths of underwater photography from the first photo to Jacques Cousteau. We’ll also discuss some of our recent film failures and why we don’t shoot digital – the reasons might not be what you think.But first, Vania has a bit of an on-the-road report recorded while she was driving and photographing her way through the lower South West. With a bit of a time jump, she’s with us for the rest of the episode. ANSWERING THE MACHINEBefore diving in (haha) we listen to the answering machine. This episode’s question is:Why not digital?We received more answers for this than ever before, thank you!WATCH OUT FOR SNAKESWe’ve been having a few film failures of late, and we tell you about them because that’s what we do now.Here are a couple of Vania’s. She shot Fuji Neopan 1600 and accidentally developed it in C-41:And here are two of Eric’s, complete with the light leak provided by the watch:Camera: Chamonix 45F-2 Lens: Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar-S 5.6/210mm Film: Fuji Super HRT 100iso Exposure: f/64; 1/4sec Process: Rodinal; 1+100; 7min Ferndale, California October 2020Camera: Chamonix 45F-2 Lens: Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar-S 5.6/150mm Film: Fuji Super HRT 100iso Exposure: f/64; 1/4sec Process: Rodinal; 1+100; 7min California October 2020LET’S CALL PETE HALVORSEN!If you go to Manhattan beach as much as Vania does, you’ll end up meeting Pete Halvorsen. Pete’s a regular at the pier. While he shoots mainy digital for his commercial and professional work, he’s never left film behind. Today we’re going to talk to him about why.We talk to Pete about his professional work and how it’s changed during these weird plague days. He tells us why he likes the RZ67 and why he still shoots film.Pete’s website: http://www.pchpro.comPete on IG: @petehalvorsenHere are a few of his film photos:THE WEIRDISH HISTORY OF UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHYThe first underwater photo was taken by William Thompson in 1856 and it was horrible:Fortunately things improved.The first underwater portrait was taken by Louis Boutan in 1893. It’s pretty rad: Here are a few other photos concerning Boutan:Underwater photography, 19th-century artwork. French zoologist Louis Boutan (1859-1934) taking an underwater photograph in 1893. He is in a diving suit holding his camera. A light source is at left, and at right is an octopus he is attempting to photograph. Boutan’s experiments took place at Banyuls-sur-Mer, on France’s Mediterranean coast. The first underwater photograph was taken in 1856, but had involved using a pole to put a camera below the water. Artwork from the 13th volume (first period of 1894) of the French popular science weekly ‘La Science Illustree’.Louis Boutan’s book. In French, so good luck: https://archive.org/details/laphotographieso00bout/mode/2upJ. E. Williamson and his Graflex going down into the tube.Though we question it, this is “officially” the first color photo taken underwater, 1923.We wrap up by talking about when underwater cameras went commercial. The first was the Mako Shark, a camera Vania owns and has shot with. Here are a couple of her photos:ZINE REVIEWWe’re finally back to reviewing zines!This one comes from Canada! It’s called Houses of the Holy by Markus Staley. And it is just what it says it is – a zine full of churches. I’m kind of a church fan myself. Like Marcus, I’m drawn to their architecture.This is an 8”x8” zine, perfect bound and comprised of both film (35mm and 120) and some digital shots.  For me, the black& white photos are my favorites. Particularly, the ones with more close up details, like the one of the Berean Baptist Church.You can pick it up @markusstaleyphotographyNEXT DEV PARTYOn our next Dev Party, Vania develops the first roll taken with her new water housing!PATREONThank you to everyone who supports us!Check out our Patreon for bonus episodes, extended interviews, early drops.

This episode was originally published on March 14, 2019.  It's pretty funny. Enjoy this encore presentation and we'll be back with a new episode next week.  Thanks so much for listening! -------------------------------------------------- Today, we welcome portrait photographer Mark Mann to the B&H Photography Podcast and, as Allan notes at the top of the show, if you name a celebrity or famous politician, Mann has probably photographed them. His body of work is incredible. As an example, in 2014, he was tapped by Esquire to photograph eighty boys and men, from age one to eighty, for its 80th anniversary issue. That “who’s-who” list alone would make a career, and it was just one year for Mann. Over the course of this engaging conversation, we touch on many topics, from interaction with subjects, to gear choices (Leica medium format S and full-frame SL systems), to retouching, to shooting with or without a tripod. We also dig into his early career, when he assisted legends like Nick Knight and Miles Aldridge and what he calls the “slow grind” of years of freelance work. While Mann is known for tight-cropped, high-resolution portraits, we also discuss his motion and After Effects work, how he “grounds” himself by occasionally shooting with a Graflex and antique lenses and, of course, the development of his signature lighting techniques. Also joining us is Cory Rice, who photographed Mann as part of the What is Photography? portrait series and asks pertinent questions on portraiture. Our conversation is loaded with belly laughs as Mann recounts his portrait sessions with Bill Murray, Robin Williams, President Obama, and others. Join us for this enjoyable and informative episode and don’t forget to join the B&H Photography Facebook group. Guest: Mark Mann and Cory Rice

We have been admirers of Jeff’s Graflex SLR mods for a while now, and who could fail to miss his awesome sheet film inserts for pretty much any size sheet film you could want. Jeff is the driving force behind 20th Century Camera and we were pleased to spend time with him chatting about his business and loads more. We read out emails from Joachim Gross (Sinar and cutaways in glass) and Ben Farrar who puts us right over the origin of the term “Indian Summer” Monty Craig (the lens guy) gets a shout out too as we try and answer another question about lenses. Links and references arising from the discussions: Jeff loves Nico Photo News on YouTube (he reviewed the new one instant pack film) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6yh3JkMX-U Speaking of pack film, Andrew is super excited to receive his “One Instant” pack film from the successful Supersense Kickstarter. This film is currently made from old Polaroid stock and whilst FP100C it is not, those who love an expired look and the old polaroid film are in luck. Learn more over at Supersense https://supersense.com/oneinstant/ On the subject of instant film – did you know that following the demise of “New 55 Film” a pos neg polaroid film for your 5x4 camera, Sam Hiser picked up the remains and is now producing the film under the name “Famous Format” – boasting 100 and 400 speed emulsions, a better spread of chemicals and an improved balance between the resulting negative and the print.

Tell us a bit about yourself and your photography. From Bosnia, Sarajevo. Lives in the Chicago area. Briefly describe two or three locations you recently traveled too. I travel for work. So I get to go to lots of places that most wouldn’t be able to see. Both in the US and internationally. Various suppliers, such as in China. Virginia as well. Went to S. Dakota last year. Did some photography in the Black Hills area. And an old ghost town. China: Shanghai, a recent favorite was in the bundt area of Shanghai. Was raining, lots of great reflections. http://www.stevantontich.com/blog/2018/5/23/china-in-spring-2018 Rolliflex camera shooting.

We took our mics to a basement laboratory on East 30 Street, in Manhattan, where legend tells of a scientist and his cohort who perform ungodly experiments, attempting to bring life to subjects long considered dead. What we found rattled the nerves of even our steely host Allan Weitz, and brought us to a new consideration of what can be done when modern Prometheans fuse technologies from diverse eras to create extraordinary tools for their photographic purposes. On this week’s episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, we speak with Geoffrey Berliner, Executive Director of the Penumbra Foundation, and Frank Rubio, the Camera Doctor, about the many “frankencameras” they have created together. In fact, they displayed six examples of their work for us. We talk about each one, most being antique view cameras modified with brass portrait lenses, modern flash systems, or for digital capture. We explain the provenance of the cameras and lenses, the process of “repurposing” them, and the practical applications for these modifications. Each of these cameras is put into regular use at Penumbra, primarily in their tintype studio, and we discuss Scovill, Graflex, and stereo carte de visite cameras; Cooke, Fox, and Hermagis lenses, and even Sony a7 cameras and Canon Selphy printers. For images of the cameras and lenses, go to our landing page. We also speak with Berliner about his impressive lens collection, with Rubio about learning camera repair in the Army, and about their motivations and collaboration. Rubio, having worked in some of the best camera houses in New York, has established a reputation as a skilled and meticulous craftsman, trusted by artists, pros, and collectors alike, and Berliner is a walking encyclopedia of camera and photography history. Join us for this insightful conversation, which leaves only one question unanswered—which of the two is the true Dr. Frankencamera?

Hoy inauguramos una nueva sección de nuestro podcast, dónde hablaremos de la vida, situación social y política de los grandes fotógrafos de nuestra era. Hoy nos acercamos a la biografía de Ansel Adams, dónde intentaremos recorrer parte de su vida desde la niñez hasta su muerta con el fin de entender mejor su obra. Biografía de Ansel Adams Nació el 20 de Febrero de 1902 en San Francisco, Estados Unidos. “Espero ansioso nuevos procesos y nuevos desarrollos. Creo que la imagen electrónica será el próximo gran avance. Estos sistemas tendrán características estructurales ineludibles, y por tanto los artistas como los técnicos deberán hacer un renovado esfuerzo para comprenderlos y controlarlos.” Conocido por sus fotografías en blanco y negro de paisajes del Parque Nacional Yosemite en Estados Unidos, entre otros muchos. Y autor de numerosos libros sobre fotografía donde podemos destacar su trilogía (La Cámara, El Negativo y la Copia) estamos ante uno de los grandes fotógrafos de la historia. Un personaje tan interesante como atrevido, con unos ideales férreos y un visionario que lo aleja de su arquetipo de purista. Posiblemente sea uno de los fotógrafos que más haya hecho por el mundo de la fotografía. Sus imágenes, increíblemente bellas e impresas con una técnica impoluta, favorecieron que muchos adaptaran la idea de que la fotografía, podía ser un medio de expresión. De hecho, este fue uno de sus propósitos principales a la hora de realizar fotografías. Su legendario “sistema de zonas” proporcionaba al fotógrafo una gama monocromática más amplia, y con ello más expresiva. Un método para calcular el tiempo de exposición y de revelado que debía aportar una gradación óptima a los valores del gris. Un año después del nacimiento de Ansel, sus padres Charles Hitchock Adams y Olive Adams, se trasladaron a la casa que su padre había estado construyendo en San Francisco. Su niñez estuvo marcada por los muchos momentos que tuvo que guardar cama debido a su predisposición a enfermar. Él mismo dijo de su niñez, que estuvo marcada por su estado mental precario y por su hiperactividad, dos elementos que le fueron acompañando a lo largo de su vida. A los cuatro años de edad, le tocó vivir de cerca el drama del terremoto de San Francisco de 1906, donde las consecuencias para su familia fueron únicamente pequeños daños en la estructura de su casa, y para él, una fractura de nariz. Sin embargo, en su propia biografía recuerda este momento como la experiencia más cercana con el intenso sufrimiento humano. Recuerdo que se le grabó con fuego aún con su corta edad. En esta misma época, en su familia tuvo lugar una desgracia, aunque él no fue consciente de lo que pasaba. La quiebra del negocio químico de su padre debido a la traición de sus socios, su cuñado Ansel Easton y su abogado y amigo George Wright. La familia cayó en una embarazosa situación social y económica y su madre cayó en una depresión constante que arrastró durante años. El padre de Adams intentó ganarse la vida con otros negocios, pero al final desistió y acabó trabajando como vendedor de seguros y jefe de una oficina. Curiosamente, la enfermedad fue la responsable del interés de Ansel por la fotografía. Cuando tenía doce años, enfermó de sarampión, por lo que tuvo que permanecer en la cama, con las persianas bajadas. Ahí en la cama, fue donde se percató que los espacios entre la persiana y la parte superior de las ventanas hacía las veces de primitivos objetivos, que proyectaban en el techo vagas imágenes del paisaje exterior. Su padre le explicó el fenómeno convirtiendo su cámara Kodak Bulls-Eye en una cámara oscura. Este fue su primer e interesante contacto con el mundo de la fotografía que le dejó marcado por la curiosidad del hecho de por vida. Ansel Adams fue hijo único y muy querido, según la correspondencia que se conserva de la familia parece que hicieron todo lo posible para lograr que pudiera llevar la vida que sus padres habían deseado. Como consecuencia, este hizo que Ansel viviera con un constante deseo de complacer a sus padres. Su madre tocaba el piano y con doce años empezó a mostrar interés por la misma afición de su madre. El aprendizaje de este instrumento fue algo de vital importancia para su vida, ya que en su biografía recalca que le infundió el sentido de la disciplina. Su paso por el colegio fue bastante problemático y la situación económica que estaba viviendo hizo mella en sus estudios, tampoco le ayudó mucho su timidez y la dislexia que padecía, que le causó ciertos problemas al intentar integrarse en la escuela. Ansel era un entusiasta de la naturaleza, gracias a un libro que le regaló su tía sobre Sierra Nevada, animó a su familia a pasar las vacaciones en el Parque Nacional de Yosemite. Poco después de llegar a Yosemite, le regalaron su primera cámara, una Kodak Box Brownie. Quedó tan enamorado del lugar que volvió a repetir la experiencia al siguiente año al mismo lugar con su familia. Durante toda su vida Ansel luchó por defender y proteger la naturaleza. Al cumplir los 16 años, Adams trabajó a tiempo parcial en una tienda de servicio de fotografía cercana a su casa. Durante el verano de ese año realizó su primera visita a Yosemite en solitario. No sólo empezaba a distanciarse de su familia, sino también a darse cuenta de lo esencial para su desarrollo físico, emocional y espiritual que significa Yosemite. Un año después, se hizo miembro del club: Sierra Club, organización ecologista a la que perteneció activamente hasta su muerte. Su ingreso en el club acentuó su interés por la fotografía donde acostumbraba a llevar su cámara de gran formato Graflex a todas sus excursiones. En este club estableció una relación de amistad con Cedric Wright, violinista y fotógrafo aficionado y también hijo del antiguo socio de su padre. Juntos empezaron a difundir sus experiencias por las tierras salvajes estadounidenses mediante conferencias. Ansel orientó su esfuerzo para dedicarse al piano y trabajar como concertista. Con 21 años compró un piano de cola de 6.700 dólares que tuvo que ser pagado con la venta de un terreno que le había regalado su tío, junto al esfuerzo económico de su padre que tenía que pagar los plazos a la misma vez que mantener a la familia. Los esfuerzos de sus padres con la dura realidad económica muestra lo importante que era para ellos las altas metas de su hijo. Adams empezó a ver la fotografía como algo lucrativo y del cual le gustaría empezar a vivir. Su primer éxito fue conseguir financiación para un viaje a las Montañas Rocosas de Canadá como fotógrafo oficial. Desde los 18 años ya empezaba a mostrar dudas sobre su planeada carrera como concertista de piano y su recién descubierto amor por la fotografía. Este dilema que le acompañó durante años, y la intensa necesidad de vender sus fotografías, lo llevaron al estudio de Harry Cassie Best, un pintor de paisajes que había encontrado un mercado para sus cuadros de Yosemite. Best tenía una hija con 17 años: Virginia, con la que Adams acabó casándose y con la que tuvo 2 hijos. En 1927, su amigo Cedric Wright le presentó a Albert Bender, socio de éste en una compañía de seguros y comprometido patrocinador de las artes. Bender introdujo a Andsel en el ambiente cultural de San Francisco e hizo realidad la publicación de una colección de sus fotografías: Parmelian Prints of the High Sierras. Bender fue un personaje decisivo en la vida de Ansel ya que gracias a él pudo acceder a su carrera como profesional dentro de la fotografía. Le aportó energía y seguridad a la vez que contactos. En uno de sus viajes con Bender conoció a Paul Strand, sus imágenes le causaron gran impacto, ayudándolo a alejarse del estilo pictorialista y a encaminarse hacia el estilo de “straight photography” (fotografía directa o pura), donde la claridad de la lente es lo más importante y  dónde la fotografía ha de sufrir el menor número de ajustes y retoques posibles. En palabras de Adams, este encuentro fue una revelación: su “destino” no era la música, sino la fotografía. La madre y la tía de Adams le rogaron que no abandonara el piano defendiendo que “La cámara no puede expresar el alma humana”. Su respuesta consistió en dedicar el resto de su vida a demostrar que estaban equivocadas. Adams estaba introducido totalmente en el círculo cultural, se rodeó de grandes fotógrafos y amantes del arte, conoció a Edward Weston con quien entabló una gran amistad y crearon un club fotográfico llamado “F/64” en honor a la apertura más cerrada de las cámaras de gran formato. Este grupo se oponía frontalmente al pictorialismo en favor de una estética directa.   Poco a poco, fue desarrollando las bases de lo que sería su estilo fotográfico. Durante un viaje a Yosemite, experimentó un momento inspirador mientras trataba de decidir cómo trasladar a una fotografía el qué sentía ante la presencia del Half Dome, un enorme domo granítico en el extremo oriental del valle de Yosemite. Precisamente, al que hace honor en su fondo de pantalla el sistema operativo de Apple Yosemite, un guiño a la figura de Ansel Adams. En esa toma, se le ocurrió utilizar un filtro rojo, consiguiendo oscurecer el cielo en la copia afirmando que había logrado su primera verdadera visualización. La visualización, o lo que llamó más tarde, la “previsualización”, se convirió en uno de los dos dogmas de su credo estético. El otro fue el “sistema de zonas”. Empleando los términos musicales propios de su formación, manifestó: “El negativo es la partitura, la copia es la ejecución.” En 1933, Adams y Virginia viajaron a Nueva York para mostrar sus trabajos a Alfred Stieglitz, fotógrafo al que siempre había admirado. Tres años más tarde, Stieglitz le ayudó a llevar a cabo su primera exposición personal. Aunque podríamos considerar a Ansel Adams cómo un fotógrafo paisajista, no sería fiel reflejo de su vida como profesional de la fotografía, ya que también se dedicó a la fotografía de publicidad, anuncios, retratos, arquitectura, ilustraciones, reproducciones de obras de arte, fotomicrofototografías, ciudades, paisajes, animales y noticias, a lo que podríamos añadir su colaboración con revistas como Life y Fortune además de ser fotógrafo asesor para Polaroid y Hasselblad. Con lo cual, podemos ver que su intrusión en la fotografía fue muy completa y tocando prácticamente casi todos los palos de la fotografía que le ayudó como sustento financiero. Sus imágenes se han convertido en un símbolo angloamericano, muchas de ellas centradas en el Parque Natural de Yosemite, siendo los paisajes el principal tema de sus fotografías. Precisamente por esto obtuvo alguna que otra crítica, como por ejemplo la del fotógrafo francés Henri Cartier-Bresson, que sin duda traeremos a este podcast biográfico muy pronto, y que dijo sobre Adams: “El mundo se está cayendo a trozos y todo lo que Adams y Weston fotografían son piedras y árboles.” incluso fue muy criticado por la ausencia de personas en sus fotografías paisajísticas. Tres años antes de su muerte, recibió el premio internacional de la fundación Hasselblad, con el tiempo este fotógrafo se ha convertido en leyenda, fotografiando lugares a los que ha ayudado a conservar. En 1984 murió debido a un fallo en su corazón, posiblemente agravado por un cáncer pancreático. Personalmente, después de adentrarme en la vida de este genio de la fotografía, podría decir que ha sorprendido gratamente sus convicciones e ideales. Defendió la fotografía como arte y método expresivo ante las críticas recibidas y el poco recorrido de este trabajo en aquella época, supo rodearse y dejarse influir por profesionales de la fotografía que le hicieron definir la visión de su fotografía y nunca abandonó su instinto y visión de futuro, entendiendo la fotografía en cada época y cambiando su visión respecto al tiempo y la tecnología. Tengo mucha curiosidad sobre cómo hubiese interpretado este genio los tiempos modernos de la era digital. Se fue justo antes de este cambio tan importante pero del cual ya anunciaba que habría que comprenderlos y controlarlos. Todo un personaje que nos ha acompañado en este podcast.

Early on Harry Nowell realized following his family into big business wasn’t for him. Instead he chose shooting anything that slid, moved, and rolled for stock photo agencies. Stock photography was lucrative enough for Harry, but as technology changed the way we shoot, it also changed his business model. We chatted about how he has adapted his photography business and why it is very important to pay attention to both the photography side and the business side to be successful. Today, Harry Nowell shoots assignments and is working on a fine art photography project. As a business man, he also owns and operates a gallery, a studio (which is available for rent), and teaches workshops in his studio space as well as various classes outside on-location and he offers unique on-line programs for people that find it hard to find the time for a scheduled class, but still have the urge to learn.
