I went to Photo London and had the chance to hear the conversation between these 2 artists:
Adam Fuss is a camera less photographer and Antony Gormley a sculptor and are interested in each other works.

The artists raised a few points that I found very interesting:

Film black and white

I am  attracted to colours and their brightness and I fully enjoy it when I paint too. I actually used it to in my series “keep out:organism “.
At the same time, I saw recently 2 exhibitions in which the artist used film :

-Elton John’s collection at the Tate modern

– Dana LIxenberg at  Deutshe Borse photographic foundation prize at the Photographers Gallery.  Thanks Tilly and Verity for this for coming with me or suggesting it!.
When I see the Black and white images on the wall, I feel an immediate attraction to the print that I want to touch like a painting. Dana Lixenberg’s were huge so that effect was even bigger. I decided to use more my film camera and go back to the darkroom.

Too many of my photos never came of of my computer but I still have on my wall a curious Parisian scene I took 25 years ago on the shores of the River Seine.

 

i would like now to work in parallel of my colourful series shoot digitally and used the darkroom to work on minimalist pieces from the natural world. It may be interesting to see how each work feed the other.

Paris Photo

Last week Paris Photo  took place at the Grand Palais in Paris.
I usually go for portraits but this time I was attracted to some special images without a human inside.
– Christan Patterson at the Robert Morat Gallerie put a telephone next to the photos and after calling the names featuring in the notebook, it was possible to hear the sounds corresponding to the landscape.

First Everything is moving at the Barbican, very impressive especially as  done for most on film!

i went back before leaving for Graciela Iturbide, very strong.

then the Societies Convention ( including all sorts of photography), i need to go back the whole week next year. One can learn so much about photography and business from Speakers and talking to other delegates too.

Great training and i really liked Damian Mcgillicuddy, so easy to listen to  and totally efficient at same time.

Chris Lord showed us very interesting portfolios.

Kevin Wilson did some magic with wedding pictures.Always a bit different from the crowd. i find it poetic.

So i learned a lot and cannot wait to do more training with them.
