HER WORKS

 

In Finding Vivian Maier, Maloof teams with producer Charlie Siskel to uncover this mystery. Following clues, they trace Maier’s history through New York City, France, and Chicago. Maier was an inveterate wanderer and self-taught photographer, favouring a Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera, with an uncanny ability to get close to people from all walks of life. Her artful and comic eye calls to mind the photography of Berenice Abbott and Weegee. Thanks to Maloof’s efforts, critics and galleries have now rallied behind Maier’s work, and The New York Times recognized her as “one of America’s more insightful street photographers.”

But as Maloof meets people who knew Vivian, new questions arise about her life and work. The families who employed her as a nanny have mixed memories, and hint at her dark side. Would she have even wanted this attention? Answering that question depends on how you interpret different bits of evidence. Regardless, it’s a wonder to behold the world through Vivan Maier’s eyes.

André Kertész

André Kertész

he born on 2 July 1894

dead on 28 September 1985 

he was a hungarian-born photographer know for his groundbreaking contributions to photographic composition and the photo essay.

Perhaps more than any other photographer, Andre Kertesz discovered and demonstrated the special aesthetic of the small camera. These beautiful little machines seemed at first hardly serious enough for the typical professional, with his straightforward and factual approach to the subject. Most of those who did use small cameras tried to make them do what the big camera did better; deliberate, analytical description.

hungry 

laugh 

training 

my opinion 

in his work i see a big contrast pain poor and happy. those who should have peace life but cause of the war they live in pain. they are flower of this country, they are pure. they are suffering. i don't know what should i say. the wars happening are not the their faults . but  those innocent kids become to the sacrifice in the war. they lost their family, stop study. aftermath, take out the gan, become to  kill machine. i rejoice that i still can see the hope in they face. they still smile. they still looking forward the peaceful life. David Seymour's work is amazing. he use his lens to record this. he is a hero.

her work

   

     

  

     

Rinko Kawauchi’s work has frequently been lauded for its nuanced palette and offhand compositional mastery, as well as its ability to incite wonder via careful attention to tiny gestures and the incidental details of her everyday environment. In "Illuminance", Kawauchi continues her exploration of the extraordinary in the mundane, drawn to the fundamental cycles of life and the seemingly inadvertent, fractal-like organization of the natural world into formal patterns. Gorgeously produced as a clothbound volume with Japanese binding, this impressive compilation of mostly previously unpublished images is proof of Kawauchi’s unparalleled, unique sensibility.
In 2001, Rinko Kawauchi (*1972) launched her career with the simultaneous publication of three astonishing photobooks – Utatane, Hanabi, and Hanako – firmly establishing herself as one of the most innovative newcomers to contemporary photography worldwide. She has had solo exhibitions at Fondation Cartier, Paris, The Photographers’ Gallery, London, Galleria Carla Sozzani, Milan, Hasselblad Center, Göteborg, and Museum of Modern Art, São Paulo, among other international venues. Kawauchi lives and works in Tokyo.

Daidō Moriyama

i think Moriyama Daido has his own style. his photos always be different angle. and his works are like rough, blur, strong  contrast. his photos always use black and white color, so that it shows a strong effect.

Eadweard Muybridge

Eadweard Muybridge

He  born in 9 April 1830 – 8 May 1904

Edward James Muggeridge was an English

He adopted the name Eadweard Muybridge, believing it to be the original Anglo-Saxon form of his name.

He was a bookseller  in New York

He is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion in 1877 and 1878 . he used multiple cameras to capture motion in stop-motion photographs, and his zoopraxiscope , a device for projecting motion pictures that pre-dated the flexible perforated film strip used in cinematography.

his works

the most famous work

(the story about the running horse)

In 1872, the former governor of California, Leland Stanford, a businessman and race-horse owner, hired Muybridge for some photographic studies. He had taken a position on a popularly debated question of the day — whether all four feet of a horse were off the ground at the same time while trotting. In 1872, Muybridge began experimenting with an array of 12 cameras photographing a galloping horse in a sequence of shots. His initial efforts seemed to prove that Stanford was right, but he didn’t have the process perfected. The same question had arisen about the actions of horses during a gallop. The human eye could not break down the action at the quick gaits of the trot and gallop. Up until this time, most artists painted horses at a trot with one foot always on the ground; and at a full gallop with the front legs extended forward and the hind legs extended to the rear, and all feet off the ground.^[30] Stanford sided with the assertion of "unsupported transit" in the trot and gallop, and decided to have it proven scientifically. Stanford sought out Muybridge and hired him to settle the question.^[31]

Between 1878 and 1884, Muybridge perfected his method of horses in motion, proving that they do have all four hooves off the ground during their running stride. In 1872, Muybridge settled Stanford's question with a single photographic negative showing his Standardbred trotting horse Occident airborne at the trot. This negative was lost, but the image survives through woodcuts made at the time (the technology for printed reproductions of photographs was still being developed). He later did additional studies, as well as improving his camera for quicker shutter speed and faster film emulsions. By 1878, spurred on by Stanford to expand the experiments, Muybridge had successfully photographed a horse at a trot;^[32] lantern slides have survived of this later work.^[33] Scientific American was among the publications at the time that carried reports of Muybridge's ground-breaking images.^[33]

Stanford also wanted a study of the horse at a gallop. Muybridge planned to take a series of photographs on 15 June 1878, at Stanford's Palo Alto Stock Farm (now the campus of Stanford University). He placed numerous large glass-plate cameras in a line along the edge of the track; the shutter of each was triggered by a thread as the horse passed (in later studies he used a clockwork device to set off the shutters and capture the images).^[34] The path was lined with cloth sheets to reflect as much light as possible. He copied the images in the form of silhouettes onto a disc to be viewed in a machine he had invented, which he called a "zoopraxiscope". This device was later regarded as an early movie projector, and the process as an intermediate stage toward motion pictures or cinematography.

The study is called Sallie Gardner at a Gallop or The Horse in Motion; it shows images of the horse with all feet off the ground. This did not take place when the horse's legs were extended to the front and back, as imagined by contemporary illustrators, but when its legs were collected beneath its body as it switched from "pulling" with the front legs to "pushing" with the back legs.^[31]

my opinion 

Eadweard Muybridge has a magic .he is a huge man. he makes the picture moving so that we can product movie. this is a big contribution in the photography even for the world.
