Thanks for this. I will put more efforts of writing stories to accompany the images. Yes, as the saying goes: « a picture is worth a thousand words» but adding text to these unwritten 1000 words can bring a photo to another level. Have a nice day.

fotografr Posted January 29, 2022 Share #7 Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Sebastiao Salgado has compiled one of the most impressive and influential bodies of work by any photographer in the last 50 years. He is truly one of the greats and a continuing source of inspiration. Looking through your own website I see a strong similarity in approach, style and dedication. You have both documented the human condition masterfully. I hope members of this forum will take the time to look.

I ordered his Kuwait book about the oil fields on fire. He told me he shot with Leica R loaded with 3200 asa ( Tmax I think). Ah film! Stunning images. Not only is he a very good photographer but he uses a lot of physical energy to accomplish his work. Thanks for looking at my web site. I also have a web site that I put together for the photo gallery I am building: www.eyeswideopengallery.com 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the privilege to spend some time with Sebastiao and his family. I do feel a strong connection with him. His book « the workers» changed my photography profoundly. Take care. P.s. Your series NO DIRECTION KNOWN contains some beautiful and nicely composed images. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
