frankjans Posted December 4, 2016 Share #322 Posted December 4, 2016 Machiel Botman Fantastic site. Here a review: http://www.bandwmag.com/articles/machiel-botman-gazing-within “The understanding of life comes after the images have been taken, when they have come to rest,” he explains. “Many times to take a photograph is a violent action; you slice an instant from its past and future. You need time to let that become meaningful, to understand what you are really looking at, and to understand how that image can become important within you. Maybe it connects to what you have done before. Maybe it shows you something you never realized.” Nazraeli Press did one of his books 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshtog Posted March 19, 2017 Share #325 Posted March 19, 2017 My earliest inspirations were Magnum photographers especially Bresson and Salgado, I know they've been mentioned but they are still important to me, I lost touch with following and reading about other photographers over my press years, there never seemed to be enough time, but one of my earliest inspirations in to sport photography was the amazing black and white work of UK photographer Eamonn Mccabe. On occasion during my commercial work I get to shoot some fashion. One of my favourite photographers as far as fashion portraiture goes is Peter Lindbergh, his use of controlled natural light and outdoor studios has always amazed me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambro51 Posted October 22, 2018 Share #330 Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) When I began my 1O year stint as a traveling wet plate photographer, I studied many early artists, who made images with a variety of processes. The Greatest Work I found was that of Hill and Adamson, using the Calotype Process (salted paper negatives) during the 1840’s. These images Still strikingly convey emotions and feeling. There were times I posed Civil War period civilian reenactors in similar pose. Edited October 22, 2018 by Ambro51 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Ricoh Posted December 21, 2019 Share #334 Posted December 21, 2019 Another well worth a mention is British photographer Mik Critchlow.

Keith (M) Posted January 21, 2020 Share #337 Posted January 21, 2020 A few days ago someone described one of my b&w photos as "a bit Gianni Berengo Gardin somehow." I must confess that I had never come across the name before, so of course had to search the Web. Lots of interesting results about his impressive output.
