Advertisement Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Hi martin, Take a look here film about Sudek. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
doubice Posted April 24, 2008 Share #2 Posted April 24, 2008 at youtube Thanks for the link! Sudek's photographs are full of poetry, he's a master of light, almost a Czech version of Ansel Adams. The film brought some wonderful memories - I knew Sudek when I lived in Prague 40 years ago..... His commentary in the film is great, he had a fantastic sense of humor, led a simple life with a great love of Prague and photography. Some of his cameras are still in use by another great Czech photographer - Jan Reich. You can see some of Sudek's cameras on his site - Galerie Novy Svet: Jan REICH Great photography too! Best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
storybrown Posted April 24, 2008 Share #3 Posted April 24, 2008 Sudek is new to me, but this film is grand! Thanks for posting the link. I don't Adams has anything on him. There are other good links at the Sudek website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted April 24, 2008 I visited Prague for several times and whenever I’m there I have to go to the rebuilt studio and the small exhibition near the castle. Sudek is much more than a photographer, he is a magician of light. Have you ever seen a original print of him? Only 4x5 inch but so very deep impressions in it, I’m totally enthusiastic by his work. In the Studio in his garden you can buy the DVD and watch in the rebuilt studio. Sitting at the place he worked and lived and watch the film is real great, you go out and see the light with new eyes. best regards martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

odd Posted April 24, 2008 Share #6 Posted April 24, 2008 Hi; Some of his photographs can be seen in a book by Anna Farova. “Josef Sudek. Poet of Prague” It’s an Aperture Book. Great pictures form a great photographer. Amazon only has second hand issues, but I bought my copy at a bookstore here in Norway, so there should be possible to get it elsewhere. His pictures, and this book, are among the things that has inspires me to “upgrade” to large format :-) - OM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
