Revealing the Truth in Unforgettable Images

Severin Koller:

I don’t think I’m looking for certain things. It is more the other way around, that something grabs my attention. There are times when my senses are totally focused on what’s going on around me, like someone just put me on a drug that intensifies everything. When I’m in that mode, many photos happen instinctively. Looking at my scans, in most cases I remember why I took a photo, even if I had no time to think about it when I shot it. I guess that instinct is simply an honest way of photographing strangers. I try not to judge people by taking their photo or compromising anyone’s privacy. I’m simply interested in life on the street.

Das Interview ist zwar nicht gerade druckfrisch, aber nach wie vor sehr gut.
Wenn ihr noch mehr über Severin lesen wollt, habe ich da noch ein Interview für euch, das ich mit ihm führte.

In the age of Instagram, what sets a professional photographer apart?

Auch wenn ich die Frage nicht so wirklich richtig beantwortet sehe, sehr schöne Doku. Gefunden drüben bei Kai.

The Q&A: Matt Stuart

Matt Stuart:

The only thing that links all of my work is that it’s all taken in London. I don’t go places to get excited, I stay here to get excited. You speak to most photographers and they go to Afghanistan or to China or to the Himalayas to get excited. I don’t really like the idea of going to India for three weeks and taking tourist pictures and bringing them back and going “oooh isn’t this deep and meaningful” because it’s not. It’s your holiday.

Ich mag Matt Stuart. Schönes Interview.

The Photographic Journal

We are a bi-weekly online publication focusing on the modern photographer’s intent, process, and drive to create. Just as their photos reveal a sliver of humanity, we hope our journal collects a small part of them to share with you. We study those who maintain the craftsmanship of the past, who push the boundaries of our vision, and who wake up every day to try again.

Im Prinzip ist es wie das großartige The Great Discontent aber nur mit Fotografen. Sieht verdammt vielversprechend aus.
