Podcasts about Magnum Photos

Every photographer dreams of publishing a book of their photographs. But what exactly does that entail? In today's show, we're going to peek behind the scenes of this complex and daunting process in a chat with two complementary figures who've spent their respective careers helping to redefine what a photo book can be. Starting with three basic questions—Why a book? Why now? And what is the role of a book in your career at this time?—our discussion expands to cover a broad range of concerns. From distinguishing between the many different publishing models available today, to insights on sponsorship and publishing contracts, to tips about marketing and getting people onboard with your project, you'll come away with inventive strategies for publishing your work in book form. We've envisioned this show as an impromptu master class, so get ready to take some notes!

Tips for getting your book seen and heard about, from magazines to podcasts. 49:08: Episode Break 50:02: Should you create a full mock-up version of a book or just show a publisher a selection of photos? 59:22: Benefits to working with a literary agent when seeking to publish a photo book. 1:01:44: Slicing up the pie by hiring freelaners or finding a partner to share in the work. 1:07:38: The importance of publishing deadlines and many important markers tied to a calendar, plus the cover photo and book blurbs. 1:14:22: Swanson and Smolan on their picks for memorable photo books. 1:25:19: Parting advice about getting other people excited about your project.   Guest Bios: Mary Virginia Swanson has spent her career helping artists find the strengths in their work, identify receptive audiences, and present their personal vision in an informed, professional manner. Her broad background as a photo educator, author, entrepreneur and advisor spans areas of exhibiting, collecting, licensing, and marketing photographs. A few career highlights include working with Ansel Adams to manage education offerings at the Friends of Photography in California, heading Special Projects for Magnum Photos in New York, and founding and directing Swanstock as a unique licensing agency for fine art photographers. Swanson is the recipient of many awards, including the Society for Photographic Education's Honored Educator Award and the FOCUS Award for Lifetime Achievement in Photography from the Griffin Museum in Boston to name just two. In 2011, Swanson co-authored Publish Your Photography Book with Darius Himes, which is now in its third edition. Currently, Swanson works independently from her home base in Tucson, offering classes, workshops and consulting services to artists and arts organizations, serving as an advisor for multiple nonprofits, and giving back through other community-minded activities.  Rick Smolan is both a photographer and an entrepreneur. A former contributor to Time, Life, and National Geographic, he is perhaps best known as creator of the Day in the Life book series, plus subsequent book projects of massive scope. As CEO of the multi-modal company Against All Odds Productions, Smolan designs and executes crowd-sourced, global projects that combine compelling storytelling with state-of-the-art technology. These projects capture the human face of emerging topics while engaging a wide range of media platforms to result in books, TV specials, social media apps, exhibitions, and hundreds of millions of media impressions. One such project, based on Smolan's 1977 National Geographic cover story about Robyn Davidson's solo travels across the outback has enjoyed continued life in multiple books, plus the feature film Tracks, with Adam Driver cast in the role of Smolan. Other recent projects include The Human Face of Big Data, which looks at how all our devices are creating a planetary nervous system, and The Good Fight: America's Ongoing Struggle for Justice, which became one of Amazon's top 100 books within a week of its release.   Stay Connected: Mary Virginia Swanson Website Instagram Rick Smolan Instagram Facebook YouTube  Against All Odds Website   Host: Derek Fahsbender Senior Creative Producer: Jill Waterman Senior Technical Producer: Mike Weinstein Executive Producer: Richard Stevens

Ferdinando Scianna"Mare Magnum"Da Ferdinando Scianna a Martin Parr. I fotografi Magnum e le spiaggeFerdinando Scianna, Riccione, 1989Fino al 05 Ottobre 2025Riccione | RiminiLuogo: Villa MussoliniCatalogo mostra: Silvana EditorialeCuratore: Andréa Holzherrhttp://www.civita.art“Da fotografo è soprattutto questo che mi ha affascinato delle spiagge: la vanità, l'esibizione, lo specchio sociale, le relazioni umane, la volgarità, il gioco dei corpi, il rito di massa. Ho fotografato spiagge dappertutto: lo spettacolo era sempre assicurato.” Ferdinando SciannaIl mare e la spiaggia, simboli di evasione e libertà, si trasformano in palcoscenico per una straordinaria nuova e inedita mostra fotografica: MARE MAGNUM. Da Ferdinando Scianna a Martin Parr. I fotografi Magnum e le spiagge, che sarà allestita dal 19 aprile al 5 ottobre 2025 negli spazi espositivi di Villa Mussolini, a Riccione.Curata da Andréa Holzherr, organizzatrice di progetti espostivi internazionali e responsabile della promozione dell'Archivio Magnum, la mostra presenta le opere di otto grandi fotografi dell'agenzia Magnum Photos: Ferdinando Scianna, Bruno Barbey, Bruce Gilden, Harry Gruyaert, Trent Parke, Olivia Arthur, Newsha Tavakolian e Martin Parr.Attraverso gli obiettivi di questi grandi maestri della fotografia internazionale, il pubblico potrà esplorare le molteplici sfaccettature della vita in spiaggia: momenti di felicità e gioco si alternano a istanti di isolamento e riflessione, dando vita a un racconto visivo che svela la condizione umana in uno scenario universale.Riccione, che ha già ospitato in questi ultimi anni le mostre di alcuni dei più grandi maestri della fotografia, da Elliott Erwitt a Steve McCurry, da Robert Capa a André Kertesz e Henry Lartigue, diventa oggi il crocevia ideale di queste visioni, il luogo in cui le spiagge di tutto il mondo, ritratte dai fotografi Magnum, trovano una nuova e suggestiva dimensione. Qui, in questa mostra, i mari lontani dialogano con il mare Adriatico, le immagini raccolte in angoli diversi del pianeta si intrecciano con la storia e l'identità di una città che da sempre vive il rapporto con il mare come elemento essenziale della sua cultura. Con Mare Magnum, Riccione si trasforma in un crocevia culturale, dove le fotografie dei più grandi maestri della Magnum fissano per sempre le suggestioni, le contraddizioni e la bellezza delle spiagge di tutto il mondo. Non è un caso che la città abbia scelto di candidare la propria spiaggia a Patrimonio Immateriale dell'UNESCO: la sua tradizione di accoglienza e condivisione rende questo il contesto ideale per un racconto visivo che attraversa luoghi, epoche e sensibilità diverse, trovando qui una sintesi unica e significativa. Riccione, la Perla Verde dell'Adriatico, è da sempre crocevia di sguardi e suggestioni, e proprio qui, in questo luogo dove il mare ha una sua intimità profonda e accogliente – quel Mare Adriatico che Predrag Matvejević ha definito il mare dell'intimità – prende vita Mare Magnum, una mostra che trova in questo contesto il suo respiro più autentico. Perché se ogni spiaggia racconta una storia, è a Riccione che queste storie si incontrano, si fondono e si rivelano in tutta la loro potenza espressiva.La genesi di questa esposizione nasce da un dialogo creativo tra il Comune di Riccione, Civita Mostre e Musei, Magnum Photos e Rjma Progetti Culturali, un incontro di visioni che ha permesso di portare a Riccione un progetto espositivo unico e ambizioso. Mare Magnum si inserisce perfettamente nel tessuto di questa città, che da sempre intreccia il suo legame con il mare e la sua capacità di accogliere storie provenienti da ogni angolo del mondo. La fotografia, in questo contesto, diventa uno strumento privilegiato per esplorare le molteplici sfumature della vita in spiaggia, attraverso un racconto visivo che non conosce confini.Il mare non è solo un orizzonte geografico, ma una dimensione che appartiene all'anima. Come scrive l'autore romagnolo Fabio Fiori, «la spiaggia è un diario di sabbia su cui ogni onda scrive e cancella storie», un luogo di continua trasformazione dove ogni passaggio lascia traccia e, al contempo, si rinnova, come la risacca che modella incessantemente la riva. È proprio questo respiro, fatto di attimi fugaci e gesti che la fotografia riesce a rendere eterni, a nutrire l'esposizione. Le immagini raccolte dai grandi maestri della Magnum creano un legame profondo con l'immaginario di Riccione, facendo di questa mostra una riflessione universale sulla condizione umana, raccontata attraverso il paesaggio marino e la sua ineluttabile capacità di trasformare ogni incontro in una storia unica e irripetibile.La mostra prende vita in un luogo emblematico, Villa Mussolini, un punto di osservazione privilegiato sul mare, che, con la sua posizione, permette di godere della vista su quello che è considerato uno dei più bei terrazzi sull'Adriatico, creando una perfetta sintonia con l'anima della mostra e il legame che la città ha da sempre con il mare.La spiaggia è da tempo un soggetto interessante nella fotografia, in quanto palcoscenico perfetto per la grande “commedia umana”, che si riflette nel mare, eterno e impassibile. Sotto un vasto cielo indifferente, le persone vanno e vengono come attori di uno spettacolo senza fine. Quello che i fotografi trovano sulla spiaggia è il genere di spontaneità, libertà ed emozioni intense che raramente si possono trovare altrove. La spiaggia spoglia le persone, sia fisicamente che psicologicamente, dei normali strati di vita quotidiana. Quando ci si toglie i vestiti, ci si libera anche di alcune inibizioni sociali.Nel corso della storia, i fotografi di Magnum hanno catturato la spiaggia in modi sorprendentemente diversi, riflettendo sia i momenti culturali che le esperienze umane senza tempo. Che sia a colori o in bianco e nero, che ritragga gioia, solitudine o la sublime potenza della natura, la fotografia di spiaggia continua a essere un tema ricco ed evocativo, invitando gli spettatori a vedere la riva non solo come una destinazione, ma come una tela per l'espressione visiva.La mostra è promossa dal Comune di Riccione, con il patrocinio della Regione Emilia - Romagna e organizzata da Civita Mostre e Musei in collaborazione con Magnum Photos e Rjma Progetti Culturali.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

He also gave us advice to clarify the purpose and narrative of the story we want to tell because if we find that clarity, nothing will stop us.3'11 – He worked as a coordinator in a photo co-op and was part of a socialist community.10'30 – Started working for Magnum as a salesperson with Neil Burgess.17'15 – Became the director in London when Neil Burgess went to NY.19'10 – Went to NY to find economic routes.21'56 – The first book he worked on was a history of Georges Rodger.30'50 – He returned to London, worked for Phaidon, created many books, and stayed for 10 years.36'45 – In 2000, he started his own publishing house.46' – When he started at Aperture, they were considering stopping the publication of magazines and books, but he doubled the price of the magazine, made it more luxurious, with themes, and focused on social justice. It was a gamble.54' – He aimed to create a more inclusive company, both in the magazine and in the company itself.56'30 – Income at Aperture at that time: 10% from exhibitions, 30% from sponsorships and grants (individual gifts), and the remaining from book and magazine sales.59'25 – He moved back to London, got ill, and continued to work on books.1'01 – Evolution in photography: social media. Before, there were no emails. You did things with people you could meet in person. Now it's a tyranny.1'04'10 – His advice for photographers and publishers: Clarify the purpose and narrative. If you find that clarity, nothing can stop you.Subscribe to the podcast newsletter: https://bit.ly/lesvoixdelaphotonewsletterStay updated with the podcast: https://bit.ly/lesvoixdelaphotowebsiteYou can also find the podcast on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn @lesvoixdelaphoto Hébergé par Acast.

À travers la carrière du directeur artistique François Hébel, on parcourt l'histoire du paysage photographique français de ces quarante dernières années. François Hébel revient sur l'ensemble de sa carrière dans différentes institutions emblématiques de la photographie : directeur des rencontres de la photographie à Arles en 1986-1987 et entre 2001 et 2014, premier directeur de Magnum Photos de 1987 à 2000, mais aussi vice-président de l'agence Corbis en 2000, directeur de la fondation HCB et cofondateur de la Biennale Foto/Industria à Bologne. On a parlé d'innovation dans le milieu culturel et de comment s'entourer de la meilleure équipe pour aller au bout de nos projets. Bonne écoute ! 2'36 – Né dans une famille de journalistes et de comédiens. Des études en communication après un passage à la fac de médecine.4'26 – « La direction artistique c'est un métier où on passe sa vie à dire « Non » à des projets artistiques. Et quand je disais « Oui », on me disait souvent que je n'aurais pas les moyens d'aller au bout de son projet, mais je répondais au photographe que ce n'était pas leur affaire.5'18 – Son passage aux galeries photo de la Fnac dans les années 80.7'- Son premier passage aux Rencontres d'Arles dans les années 80 et ses recherches pour avoir de nouveaux lieux d'expositions.11'20 – Son rôle en tant que premier directeur de Magnum Photos alors que l'agence était en faillite potentielle. Les projets qu'il a mis en place : relancer l'actualité, numériser les fonds de Magnum, diversifier avec des projets corporates, des bourses et des éditions.18'50 – Son passage chez Corbis en tant que vice président pour fusionner toutes les rédactions en Europe et son retour aux Rencontres d'Arles de la Photographie en 2001 jusqu'en 2014.25'30 – Sa philosophie d'ajouter des projets tous les ans (prolonger la durée des rencontres jusqu'en septembre pour avoir les scolaires et mettre en place des lectures de portfolios officiellement) hérités de l'innovation qu'il avait vue à la Fnac.33' – Ses conseils pour aller au bout des projets en ayant la meilleure équipe : Prendre des gens balaises pour les postes clefs, s'entourer de gens qui veulent piquer notre place et déléguer.35'30 – La raison qui l'a poussé à démissionner de son poste de directeur des Rencontres d'Arles et son poste à la Fondation HCB et à la Biennale de Bologne.50' - Les évolutions dans la photo :- Tous les 10 ans, il y a une transformation technique.- Les lieux de débats et d'expos se sont multipliés.- Le boom de l'édition : avant un photographe avait 3 livres dans sa carrière en 2000 exemplaire, et maintenant on peut faire son propre livre.- Avant le tirage était la fin en soi alors que maintenant il y a plus de formats.- Intérêt pour la photographie vernaculaire. 56'57 – « L'artiste ce n'est pas un marginal, il est au centre de la société. C'est une éponge de son temps et les opérateurs culturels doivent être perméables aux nouvelles possibilités des artistes ».57'57 – « La plupart des artistes pensent qu'ils sont les seuls à être en dehors du circuit auquel ils devraient appartenir. Ils sont parfois timides et les entreprenants ne sont pas les meilleurs. Il faut oser. On dira non souvent, car cela ne correspond pas à ce que la personne cherche à ce moment-là, mais il faut continuer. »Pour vous inscrire à la newsletter du podcast : https://bit.ly/lesvoixdelaphotonewsletterPour suivre l'actualité du podcast : https://bit.ly/lesvoixdelaphotowebsiteEt vous pouvez retrouvez le podcast sur Instagram, Facebook et LinkedIn @lesvoixdelaphoto Hébergé par Acast.

Marilynne Robinson is one of America's best and best-known novelists and essayists, whose award-winning works like Housekeeping and Gilead explore themes of faith, grace, and the intricacies of human nature. Beyond her writing, Robinson's 25-year tenure at the famed Iowa Writers' Workshop allowed her to shape and inspire the new generations of writers. Her latest book, Reading Genesis, displays her scholarly prowess, analyzing the biblical text not only through the lens of religious doctrine but also appreciating it as a literary masterpiece. She joined Tyler to discuss betrayal and brotherhood in the Hebrew Bible, the relatable qualities of major biblical figures, how to contend with the Bible's seeming contradictions, the true purpose of Levitical laws, whether we've transcended the need for ritual sacrifice, the role of the Antichrist, the level of biblical knowledge among students, her preferred Bible translation, whether The Winter's Tale makes sense, the evolution of Calvin's reputation and influence, why academics are overwhelmingly secular, the success of the Iowa Writer's Workshop, why she wrote a book on nuclear pollution, what she'll do next, and more.

In this episode of PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf, guest Carla Williams talks about her 2023 publication, Tender, a book of 80 self portraits made between 1984-1991, and additional guest Carolyn Drake talks about her 2023 publication, Men Untitled, a book of 54 portraits, mostly of men, both published by TBW Books. Sasha, Carla, and Carolyn discuss how the books approach portraiture through personal exploration while also referencing, recontextualizing and questioning their many influences from the canon of famous works. https://www.carlajwilliams.net https://tbwbooks.com/collections/single-titles/products/tender https://carolyndrake.com https://tbwbooks.com/collections/single-titles/products/men-untitled This podcast is sponsored by picturehouse + thesmalldarkroom. https://phtsdr.com Carla J. Williams Carla J. Williams Carla Williams was born in Los Angeles in 1965 in the front seat of a ‘65 Buick station wagon. She became interested in photography in college receiving her BA in photography from Princeton University and her MA and MFA from the University of New Mexico. During her years in school her self-portraiture was made using mostly Polaroid 4 x 5 and instant 35mm film formats. The immediacy of results allowed her to interact with the images at the time of the sitting rather than wait for the darkroom process, lending both an energy and technical looseness to the photographic finish. These images reflect Williams' creative urgency, her desire to render the likeness in the moment. It would become a signature style in her work. Her professor Emmet Gowin called her graduating thesis show the best thesis show in his thirty-six years of teaching. After graduating, Carla declared her retirement feeling disillusioned with the prospect of becoming an artist. She spent the next decades working independently as a photography historian, writer, and editor. She has occasionally participated in publications and exhibitions, but never pursued a creative career. William's first monograph, Tender (TBW, 2023) is a selection of her self-portraiture made between the years of 1984 and 1999 and kept mostly to herself for more than thirty years. Carolyn Drake Carolyn Drake works on long term photo-based projects seeking to interrogate dominant historical narratives and creatively reimagine them. Her practice embraces collaboration and has in recent years melded photography with sewing, collage, and sculpture. She is interested in collapsing the traditional divide between author and subject, the real and the imaginary, challenging entrenched binaries. Drake was born in California and studied Media/Culture and History in the early 1990s at Brown University. Following her graduation from Brown, in 1994, Drake moved to New York and worked as a interactive designer for many years before departing to engage with the physical world through photography. Between 2007 and 2013, Drake traveled frequently to Central Asia from her base in Istanbul to work on two long term projects. Two Rivers (self-published ,2013) explores the connections between ecology, culture and political power along the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers and earned a 2010 Guggenheim fellowship. Wild Pigeon (self-published, 2014) is an amalgam of photographs, drawings, and embroideries made in collaboration with Uyghurs in western China. This work was presented in a six month solo exhibition at SFMOMA in 2018 and earned the Anamorphosis Book prize. Following this, in Internat (self-published, 2017), Drake worked with young women in an ex Soviet orphanage to create photographs and paintings that point beyond the walls of the institution and its gender expectations. This work was awarded the 2018 HCP fellowship curated by Charlotte Cotton and later exhibited in several festivals in Europe. This project was followed by Knit Club (TBW Books, 2020), which emerged from her collaboration with an enigmatic group of women in Mississippi. Knit Club was shortlisted for the Paris Photo Aperture Book of the Year and Lucie Photo Book Awards and exhibited at McEvoy Foundation in San Francisco and at Yancey Richardson Gallery and ICP in New York. Drake now lives in California and is currently developing self-reflective projects close to home. Her latest work, Isolation Therapy, was exhibited at SFMOMA's show Close to Home: Creativity in Crisis in 2021 and at Yancey Richardson Gallery in 2022. Her work has also been supported by Peter S Reed Foundation, Lightwork, the Do Good Fund, the Lange Taylor prize, Magnum Foundation, the Pulitzer Center, and a Fulbright fellowship. She is a member of Magnum Photos and represented by Yancey Richardson Gallery.

En el universo visual de nuestra primera invitada del año a ‘Creativos, con Toni Segarra' tienen cabida lo absurdo, lo irónico y una suerte de representación mágica de la realidad. La fotógrafa y actual presidenta de la agencia Magnum Photos, Cristina de Middel, ha redefinido la manera de entender la fotografía documental. Con numerosas exposiciones, fotolibros y premios a sus espaldas, sus proyectos hacen uso de la ficción como herramienta para deconstruir la verdad.Más información de este acto

Ambiguity is at the forefront of Richard Kalvar's photography. Richard, who describes context as the “enemy”, seeks mystery and multiple meanings through surprising framing and meticulous timing. He describes his approach as “more like poetry than photojournalism – it attacks on the emotional level.”Richard has done extensive personal, assignment and commercial work in the United States, France, Italy, England, and Japan, among others, has published a number of solo books including Earthlings (Terriens) in 2007 and his most recent title, Selected Writings, published in 2023 by Damiani, and he has had important exhibitions in the US, France, Germany, Spain and Italy.His work has appeared in Geo, The Paris Review, Creative Camera, Aperture, Zoom, Newsweek, and Photo, among many others. Editorial assignments and even commercial work have given Richard an additional opportunity to do personal photography. He did many documentary stories that allowed him to disengage from documentary mode when the occasion arose.Richard joined Magnum Photos as an associate member in 1975, and became a full member two years later. He subsequently served several times as vice president, and once as president of the agency. In episode 221, Richard discusses, among other things:How he ended up settling in ParisHis introduction to photographyHow humour is an intrinsic element of his photographshow he is playing with things he has trouble dealing withWhy he called up Robert DelpireVU agency becoming VivaHow he ended up in MagnumHis favourite cities to shoot inThe legal restrictions on shooting in public in different placesPublic attitudes towards taking photographs of strangers in publicHis new book, Selected WritingsWhy his interest is in single images that stand alone Referenced:Jérôme DucrotAndré KerteszHCBRobert FrankLee FriedlanderElliott ErwittRobert DelpireViva AgencyGuy LeQuerecGilles PeressMary Ellen MarkAlex MajoliJonas BendiksenPaolo PellegrinOlivia ArthurWebsite | Instagram“I'm most interested in having pictures stand alone, and each one is something you can get into and is a story in itself and is also an imaginary story. I'm working with reality, that's what's really interesting to me and it's also what's interesting about photography in general, that you're doing something that looks like real life but obviously isn't. that's the edge I like to work on. Where you have the impression that things are going on and not necessarily going on. If I have to tell a story, I feel a certain moral obligation to respect the truth or respect the feelings of the people that are in it. I think that's a noble thing but for my kind of work it's a break.”

In this episode of PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf, Sasha and photographer, Jim Goldberg discuss his new book, Coming and Going, published by MACK, which is a very personal story but also a book about storytelling itself. Jim talks about his lifelong interest in social justice and Sasha and Jim connect Jim's work to both Jazz and Punk music.

Max Pam is an Australian photographer born in 1949 in suburban Melbourne, which as a teenager he found to be grim, oppressive and culturally isolated. He found refuge in the counter-culture of surfing and the imagery of National Geographic and Surfer Magazine and became determined to travel overseas.Max left Australia at 20, after accepting a job as a photographer assisting an astrophysicist. Together, the pair drove a VW Beetle from Calcutta to London. This adventure proved inspirational, and travel has remained a crucial and continuous link to his creative and personal development. As Gary Dufour noted in his essay in Indian Ocean Journals (Steidl, 2000): “Each photograph is shaped by incidents experienced as a traveller. His photographs extend upon the tradition of the gazetteer; each photograph a record of an experience, a personal account of an encounter somewhere in the world. Each glimpse is part of an unfolding story rather than simply a record of a place observed. While travel underscores his production Pam's photographs are not the accidental evidence of a tourist.”Max's work takes the viewer on compelling journeys around the globe, recording observations with an often surrealist intensity, matching the heightened sensory awareness of foreign travel. The work frequently implies an interior, psychic journey, corresponding with the physical journey of travel. His work in Asian counties is well represented in publications as are his travels in Europe, Australia, and the Indian Ocean Rim cultures including India, Pakistan, Myanmar, Yemen, The Republic of Tanzania, Mauritius, Madagascar, the Cocos and Christmas Islands. The images leave the viewer, as Tim Winton said in Going East (Marval 1992), “grateful for having been taken so mysteriously by surprise and so far and sweetly abroad.”Max's first survey show was held at the Art Gallery of Western Australia in 1986, and was followed by a mid-career retrospective at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1991. He was also the subject of a major exhibition at the Comptoir de la Photographie, Paris in 1990, which covered the work of three decades. He has published several highly acclaimed photographic monographs and 'carnets de voyage', including Going East: Twenty Years of Asian Photography (1992), Max Pam (1999), Ethiopia (1999) and Indian Ocean Journals (2000). Going East won Europe's major photo book award the Grand Prix du Livre Photographique in 1992. In the same year Max held his largest solo show to date at the Sogo Nara Museum of Art, Nara. He has published work in the leading international journals and is represented in major public and private collections in Australia, Great Britain, France and Japan.In episode 217 Max discusses, among other things:How he adopted the visual diary as his photographic approach.The influence of Diane Arbus.Why he chose such a specific period of his life to explore in his new memoir.How Arbus inspired him to shoot 6x6.How surfing in Australia introduced him travelling.How he ended up in India and why it fascinates him.The magic of film vs. digital.Working with book designers… or not.The time he failed to get into Magnum Photos.Surviving financially, teaching, and the importance of ‘marrying up'.Travel and family.Returning to Australia in a poor mental state, post typhoid.His wife's Alzheimer's and eventual death.Referenced:Philip Jones-GriffithDon McCullenLarry BurrowsDavid BaileyDiane ArbusEdward WestonTina ModottiRoger BallenGeorge OrwellBernard PlossuRamon PezSarah MoonOne Flew Over The Cuckoos NestPeter Beard Website | Instagram“I'm a very curious person and ultimately having the camera amplifies that curiosity in a really profound way. And it also gives you carte blanche to stick your head into areas where normally you'd think ‘ah, it's a bit dodgy, maybe not, I could get my head cut off it I stuck it in the hole…' But often then you think, ‘well come on man, you've got a camera there, isn't this part of your self image?' And so it's like this ticket to ride on something that is actually quite dangerous.”

Bruce Gilden is a street-photography icon. With summer in full swing and International Street Photography Day (otherwise known as Henry Cartier-Bresson's birthday) looming on the horizon, what better time to feature a lively chat with the master himself, recorded at B&H's 2023 Depth of Field Conference, just before the Magnum photographer's keynote lecture. Gilden's emotionally fraught depictions of real people up close are an acquired taste, and we address this aspect of his work during our chat, with Allan admitting that Gilden's work has terrified him in the past. We also touch on a somewhat surprising facet of Gilden's career—fashion photography—as he discusses making pictures for high-end clients such as Balenciaga, Dolce & Gabana, and Diesel. From the influence of early 20th-century mugshots on Gilden's aesthetic to the importance of making, and living with, visual choices to keep the photography fresh, our discussion covers a lot of ground. Stay to the end to learn about Gilden's long held photographic wish—photographing murder in a beautiful way. And for anyone who's ever fantasized about a taking workshop with Gilden, check out the link below to his upcoming street photography workshop in New York!

Moises Saman is widely considered to be one of the leading documentary and conflict photographers of his generation and has been a full member of Magnum Photos since 2014. His work has largely focused on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Arab Spring and its aftermath.Moises was born in Lima, Peru, from a mixed Spanish and Peruvian family and grew up in Barcelona, Spain. He studied Communications and Sociology in the United States at California State University, graduating in 1998. It was during his last year in university that Moises first became interested in becoming a photographer, influenced by the work of a number of photojournalists that had been covering the wars in the Balkans.After graduating, Moises moved to New York City to complete a summer internship at New York Newsday and joined as a Staff Photographer, a position he held until 2007. During his 7 years at Newsday Moises' work focused on covering the fallout of the 9/11 attacks, spending most of his time traveling between Afghanistan, Iraq, and other Middle Eastern countries. In the Autumn of 2007 Moises left Newsday to become a freelance photographer represented by Panos Pictures. During that time he become a regular contributor for The New York Times, Human Rights Watch, Newsweek, and TIME Magazine, among other international publications.Over the years Moises' work has received awards from the World Press Photo, Pictures of the Year and the Overseas Press Club and his photographs have been shown in a several exhibitions worldwide. In 2015 Moises received a Guggenheim Fellowship to continue his work.In 2011, Moises relocated to Cairo, Egypt, where he was based for three years while covering the Arab Spring for The New York Times and other publications, mainly The New Yorker. His first book, Discordia, on which he colloaborated with artist Daria Birang, documents the tumultuous transitions that have taken place in the region. The work featured in Discordia has received numerous awards, including the Eugene Smith Memorial Fund.Moises's latest book, Glad Tidings of Benevolence, was published earlier this year by GOST books to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq. It brings together Moises's photographs taken in Iraq during this period and the following years, with documents and texts relating to the war. Exploring the construction—through image and language—of competing narratives of the war, the book represents the culmination of Moises's twenty years of work across Iraq.Moises currently lives in Amman, Jordan with his wife and their young daughter. In episode 210, Moises discusses, among other things:The catalyst that was 9/11NewsdayHis introduction to photography via his studie in sociologyThe Balkans conflictLearning the ropes in AfghanistanHow his attitude towards photojournalism evolved over timeThe impact of spending eight days in Abu Ghraib prisonSurviving a helicopter crashThe myth of objectivityTrying to show a more nuanced pictureEvery day life continuing amidst war“The framing of the frame”Covering The Arab SpringCollaborating with artist Daria Birang on DiscordiaFacts, truth and questioningVictim vs. perpetratorHis current project in Amman Referenced:Judith ButlerStuart SmithDaria Birang “One thing I've realised is, at least for me, that perhaps this other approach to the work, the one that's a little bit quieter and more nuanced, more human really, where you're also celebrating humanity rather than the lack thereof in this very difficult context, that perhaps is a little more effective. I like to think that.

Skander is a documentary photographer who is based in Munich, Germany.

Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: Martin's pick: “Harry Gruyaert” Photographs by Harry Gruyaert. Martin picked the photo book: “Harry Gruyaert” by Magnum photographer Harry Gruyaert. From the publisher's description: “Born in Antwerp in 1941 and a member of Magnum Photos since 1982, Harry Gruyaert revolutionized creative and experimental uses of color in the 1970s and 1980s. Influenced by cinema and American photographers, his work defined new territory for color photography: an emotive, non-narrative, and boldly graphic way of perceiving the world… …Gruyaert's images are autonomous, often independent of any context or thematic logic. This volume, the first retrospective of his work, is a superb overview of his personal quest for freedom of expression and the liberation of the senses.”  The book is published by Thames & Hudson and has 144 pages Amazon: https://amzn.to/3NuuU1b   Marco also mentioned the three books, that Martin has recently published and talked about on the show:   Streetfotografie made in Germany 357 pages in German, published by Rheinwerk Verlag Amazon: https://amzn.to/46vIk5K   Next Level Streetfotografie: 256 pages in German, published by dpunkt Verlag Amazon: https://amzn.to/3NvwW1g   Berlin Unseen: 208 pages in English and German, published by teNeues Verlag Amazon: https://amzn.to/3PEBrsT   Links to Martin U Waltz: Web: https://www.StreetBerlin.net    Links to Marco Larousse: Web: www.MarcoLarousse.com  Twitter: @HamburgCam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marco.larousse/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarcoLarousse1  Workshops: https://www.marcolarousse.com/street-photography-workshops/  Eigen Energie Wende: https://www.eigenenergiewende.de   Links to PPN: Web: www.PhotoPodcasts.com or PPN.fm Twitter: @Photopodcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photopodcasts/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/PPNPhotoPodcastNetwork  Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/ppn-apple-podcasts  Google Podcasts: http://bit.ly/PPN-GooglePodcast Spotify: http://bit.ly/PPN-fm Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) or Amazon Germany link (click here) which will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H or Amazon without our link.   Check out the Skylum LUMINAR software: Link: LUMINAR NEO (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings)   And please share this podcast with your friends and subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or search for “PPN” in your favorite podcast app. We would also love to get your feedback.

In this episode of PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf, Sasha and photographer, Carolyn Drake discuss her celebrated book Knit Club, published by TBW Books, as well as her other bodies of work. Carolyn talks about her complex reasons for leaving and then returning to the United States, after many years, and the importance of being connected to the place you are photographing. https://carolyndrake.com/ Carolyn Drake works on long term photo-based projects seeking to interrogate dominant historical narratives and creatively reimagine them. Her practice embraces collaboration and has in recent years melded photography with sewing, collage, and sculpture. She is interested in collapsing the traditional divide between author and subject, the real and the imaginary, and challenging entrenched binaries. Drake was born in California and studied Media/Culture and History in the early 1990s at Brown University. Following her graduation from Brown, in 1994, Drake moved to New York and worked as an interactive designer for many years before departing to engage with the physical world through photography. Between 2007 and 2013, Drake traveled frequently to Central Asia from her base in Istanbul to work on two long term projects. Two Rivers (self-published ,2013) explores the connections between ecology, culture and political power along the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers and earned a 2010 Guggenheim fellowship. Wild Pigeon (self-published, 2014) is an amalgam of photographs, drawings, and embroideries made in collaboration with Uyghurs in western China. This work was presented in a six month solo exhibition at SFMOMA in 2018 and earned the Anamorphosis Book prize. Following this, in Internat (self-published, 2017), Drake worked with young women in an ex Soviet orphanage to create photographs and paintings that point beyond the walls of the institution and its gender expectations. This work was awarded the 2018 HCP fellowship curated by Charlotte Cotton and later exhibited in several festivals in Europe. This project was followed by Knit Club (TBW Books, 2020), which emerged from her collaboration with an enigmatic group of women in Mississippi. Knit Club was shortlisted for the Paris Photo Aperture Book of the Year and Lucie Photo Book Awards and exhibited at McEvoy Foundation in San Francisco and at Yancey Richardson Gallery and ICP in New York. Drake now lives in California and is currently developing self-reflective projects close to home. Her latest work, Isolation Therapy, was exhibited at SFMOMA's show Close to Home: Creativity in Crisis in 2021 and at Yancey Richardson Gallery in 2022. Her work has also been supported by Peter S Reed Foundation, Lightwork, the Do Good Fund, the Lange Taylor prize, Magnum Foundation, the Pulitzer Center, and a Fulbright fellowship. She is a member of Magnum Photos and represented by Yancey Richardson Gallery. This podcast is sponsored by picturehouse + thesmalldarkroom. https://phtsdr.com

Martin Parr (born 23 May 1952), the man who the Daily Telegraph declared to be, “arguably Britain's greatest living photographer” is known for his photographic projects that take an intimate, satirical and anthropological look at aspects of modern life, in particular documenting the social classes of England, and more broadly the wealth of the Western world.His major projects have been rural communities (1975–1982), The Last Resort (1983–1985), The Cost of Living (1987–1989), Small World (1987–1994) and Common Sense (1995–1999). Since 1994, Martin has been a member of Magnum Photos, where he scraped in by one vote and where between 2013 and 2017 he served as President. His work has been published in numerous photobooks, over 120 of his own, and he has exhibited prolifically throughout his career.In 2017 the Martin Parr Foundation was opened in Bristol. The MPF is as a gallery and archive and research resource dedicated to both preserving the Martin's photographic legacy and to supporting emerging, established and overlooked photographers who have made and continue to make work focused on the British Isles.Since his first A Small Voice appearance on Episode 91 of the podcast in October 2018, Martin has had a major exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery which opened in March 2019. Entitled Only Human, the show included portraits from around the world, with a special focus on Britishness, explored through a series of projects that investigated British identity. Also since that episode Martin was awarded a CBE in the Queen's birthday honours in June, 2021.Martin's latest book, A Year in the Life of Chew Stoke Village was released in September 2022 by RRB Books.On episode 197, Martin discusses, among other things:Influence of his methodist grandfather… and peers at ManchesterEarly experiences in Hebdon BridgeThe move to Ireland - From the Pope to a Flat WhiteLiverpool and the controversy around The Last Resort workBristol and Bath - The Cost of LivingBeing blown away by his first experience of ArlesJoining Magnum amidst disapproval from the old guardSmall WorldA Year in the Life of Chew Stoke VillageSigns of the TimesCommon SenseThe work of the Martin Parr FoundationGood work and bad workReferenced:Robert DoisneauBill BrandtRobert FrankGarry WinograndAlan MurgatroydBrian GriffinDaniel MeadowsAlbert Street WorkshopFintan O'ToolePeter FraserPeter MitchellTom WoodAnna FoxKen GrantDavid MooreJohn HindePhilip Jones GriffithsHenri Cartier-BressonBoris MikhailovKrass Clement Martin: Website | Instagram | Episode 91 | Chew Stoke bookMPF: Website | Instagram“Most of the pictures I take are very bad, because to get the good pictures is almost impossible. If you went out in the morning and said ‘today I'm only gonna take good pictures' you wouldn't get anywhere. You wouldn't even start. So you've got to have that momentum of shooting, and you've got to have found the right subject, the right place, the right time, and then things will start to happen.”
