Have 20-minutes? Live in the San Francisco Bay area? If so, you might want to take a stroll down to Michael Shindler’s Photobooth – an unassuming analog photography shop, gallery, and studio – the latter of which is solely dedicated to practicing the art of the 150-year-old photographic medium of tintype.
Recently, Photoshelter, the incredibly valuable resource hub in the world of photography, linked-up with Forbes’ Senior Photo Editor, Michele Hadlow, for an hour-long webinar, detailing many of the facets associated with not only creating a seller front page portrait for one of the most powerful voices in business news, but also working with the high-profile individuals who are being photographed.
When stained-glass designer Jack Robinson passed away in 1997, very few people were notified, which included his boss, Dan Oppenheimer. According to his employer, Robinson usually kept to himself and had very few friends. When no one came forward to take care of the various arrangements that death entails, Oppenheimer stepped up to plate.
Oppenheimer went to visit Robinson’s apartment, unsure of what he would come across. Little did he know, the boss’s visit to his deceased employee’s humble abode would prove to be interesting. The spotlessly clean and organized apartment boasted one of everything in the kitchen – one plate, one mug, and one bowl –, a dresser consisting of white button down shirts in order according to their sizes, and beautiful pieces of technology, cameras, displayed in cases. In his closet, however, a trove of treasure was just waiting to be unveiled.
A couple of weeks ago, we covered a story on how more and more Smartphone owners are relying on their devices for artistic purposes, specifically using their phones as their primary cameras. Although it goes without saying that an iPhone will never replace your 5D Mark II, the underlying message of the report focused on how our pocket companions are getting “good enough” for a growing number of situations. A prime example of this was when, incredibly, sports photographer Nick Laham used his iPhone to snap some tremendous photographs of some of our favorite New York Yankees while in Tampa for the team’s spring training.
Photographer Tom Hussey’s Reflections series is an emotional one, tying together the prime years of the elderly subjects’ past to their present lives. It is a beautiful yet melancholic take on the conceptual reality of natural life. The series, a winner at the 2010 Communication Arts Photography Annual, was used for Novartist’s marketing campaign for the Exelon Patch, a therapy patch used for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease.
Last summer, photographer Rachel Hulin looked to her bouncing baby boy, Henry, as creative motivation and inspiration for a new photography project. Mommy decided that she wanted baby Henry to fly, and so, baby Henry flew.
Similar to how Allan I. Teger flawlessly executed his creative concept of photographing the female nude, which we showcased earlier in the month, comes another take on the female form, equally inspiring and comparably inventive, from Italian photographer Stefano Bonazzi.
While the last 100 years of our world’s history has seen its fair share of ups, downs, successes, hardships, triumphs, and falters, few have had the opportunity to say that they have lived, experienced, and enjoyed each and every day for an entire century. It’s a rare sight in this day and age to see a centenarian, continuing to live life to the fullest, both beautifully and gracefully – a sight that German photographer Karsten Thormaehlen intended to capture for lifetimes to come in his project entitled Jahrhundertmensch.
While it may be fairly easy for many of us to envision and recreate the iconic imagery of the 21st century, few would be able to associate with the photographer behind the still. In an effort to properly and creatively distribute the appropriate notoriety to the men and women responsible for the memorable images, San Diego-based photographer Tim Mantoani has spear-headed an ambitious project with that very goal in mind.
