FOTOGRAFÍA

 

	Kalvar, Richard
		Magnum Photos. «Richard Kalvar is a dauntless explorer of parallel universes, closely resembling our everyday one but different, darker, funnier. His unposed pictures start with reality and move on from there. Born in and raised in New York, Kalvar studied English literature at Cornell University from 1961 to 1965. He was then inexplicably hired in New York as an assistant to French fashion photographer Jérôme Ducrot , and discovered his passion for photography a year later during and extended trip to Europe.» EEUU - inglés

Two years later the Karsh family sent their son Yousuf to live with an uncle in Canada. Here Karsh learned the basics of photography from his uncle, a professional photographer. When Karsh became a serious student he was sent to Boston to learn from his uncle’s friend, John H. Garo. While this apprenticeship was to only last for six months, Karsh stayed for three years learning the technical aspects of photography.» 59 Selected Images. Canadá

	Kubota, Hiroji
		Magnum Photos. «When Kubota, who had just graduated in Political Science from Waseda University in Tokyo, told his mother that he wanted to be a photographer, she began sobbing: "How can you do this?"

	La Tropical
		By David Turnley. The Digital Journalist. «In 1997, working as a photographer for Life magazine, I went to Cuba with Muhammad Ali. We had the opportunity to connect very quickly with the heart and soul of the Cuban people for whom Muhammad Ali is a hero. I was enchanted by the sensuality, the pathos, the exuberance, the tension, and the incredible visual quality of Cuba.» Cuba

	La creciente
		José Manuel Navia. Portal FotoForum.net «Y viajar a esa "tierra caliente", de clima y de alma, siempre supone para mí un "desgaste placentero" (por seguir usando palabras de don Álvaro); algo así como el calor, el color y el dolor de mi elección. Desde Dakota del Norte y Nueva York (a donde creo que llegué sólo por certificar una vez más la diferencia) hasta el Paraguay, pasando por México, El Salvador, Guatemala, Jamaica, Colombia, Brasil o Bolivia, tuve tiempo bastante de contemplar, acaso por un instante, como un día hizo Conrad (maestro confeso de Mutis, y de todos), la vida de mi elección.» España

	La seducción del objeto. La nueva Fotografía conceptual española
		Chema Madoz y Ciucco Gutiérrez. Portal FotoForum.net «A partir de la iniciación en el mundomadoz, uno empieza a buscar hormigas dentro de los relojes de arena y a observar los objetos cotidianos de una manera menos inocente, intentando descubrir los secretos que esconden, las sugerencias, sus metáforas. En realidad Chema nos enseña a no ser obvios, a ponernos boca abajo vez en cuando y mirar la vida desde otro punto de vista para encontrar nuevas soluciones o certezas.» «Lo que en un principio aparecía como un mero apunte, no ha hecho otra cosa que apuntalar un discurso perfectamente coherente, donde los cuerpos se convierten en paisajes, los paisajes en escenarios, los objetos en relatos, los relatos en sueños, los sueños en símbolos...» España

	Landscapes of Myth
		John Paul Getty Museum. «Greece is one of the most?and least?illustrated lands, at once a place of myth and a mythologized place. This exhibition presents maps and travel books, paintings, theatrical scenery, prints, and photographs, all of which created strong visual traditions for the ways that Greece, past and present, was depicted and understood. The works range from the late 1400s to the end of the 1800s, a period when ancient stories and their settings were rediscovered and became an essential part of European culture.» Europa Grecia

	Lansdowne Road
		By Robert Appleby. 2000. The Digital Journalist. «Lansdowne Road is a short street in downtown Bombay, which runs from the 5-star Taj Mahal Hotel to Regal Circle, one of South Bombay's main roundabouts. The area is full of tourists, both foreign and Indian, who come to visit the Gateway of India, a large monumental arch built at the beginning of the last century. It is also where many street people come to try to make a living from the tourists. As well as the street people from all over India there is a large settlement of Pardhis, members of one of the so-called Criminal Tribes, ethnic groups who were "notified" by the British as having a genetic or cultural disposition to crime.» India

	Larrain, Sergio
		Magnum Photos. «Born in Santiago, Sergio Larrain started photographing in 1949 after studying music. From 1949 to 1953 he did a course in forestry at the University of California at Berkeley.

Two years later he became a staff photographer of the Brazilian magazine, O Cruzeiro.» Chile

	Latvian Museum of Photography
		«It is a national institution by the importance of the objects it conserves the research for a national identity, to rediscover past. It is hoped that a growing number of international visitors will find that the concerns of this country and its government are not just those of mercantile strength, technological ingenuity or ethnic selfadmiration. The Museum answers the need for the collection, preservation and exhibition of national photographic values. Its research is directed into the history of Latvian photography as an inseparable and unique component of Latvian ethnic culture and into its role as part of the overall evolution of photography in the world.» Letonia

	Lewis Wickes Hine's "Work Portraits"
		New York Public Library. «The worker was always a favorite theme of Hine's and he believed that the emerging modern technologies of the 1920's and 1930's would lift the burden of hard labor from them. Hine began in the 1920's a series of photographs he called "Work Portraits" which showed man and machine at work together. Perhaps his best known series from this group is his commission to document the construction of the Empire State Building from March 1930 to May 1931. At the conclusion of the project Hine published Men at Work, a picture book which summarized his theme.» EEUU - inglés

	Life Under The Taliban
		By David Turnley. 2001. The Digital Journalist. «In 1996, I went to Afghanistan to undertake a photo essay about life under the Taliban. There were no commercial flights to Kabul. The airport had been closed for months. In Peshawar, Pakistan, I boarded one of the small planes that the International Red Cross uses to transport medical supplies and personnel into Afghanistan. Arriving at a makeshift landing strip, a jeep was waiting to drive us through the mountains to Kabul, about two hours away.» Afganistán

	Lobo Altuna: del mirar de frente
		Centro Virtual Cervantes. «Frente a la tendencia de silenciar el lado menos amable de las cosas, la mirada arriesgada de José Ignacio Lobo Altuna (Tolosa, Guipúzcoa, 1967) ahonda en su dolorosa verdad. De formación autodidacta, sus imágenes se centran en la especie humana. Narra fotográficamente lo que queda velado para el forastero o lo que todo el mundo conoce pero sobre lo que no se habla. Los carnavales, los hospitales, las tradiciones vascas, las peregrinaciones, los milagreros son los temas habituales de sus instantáneas.» España

	Los niños de la guerra. Memorias de nuestra infancia
		Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Grup Òliba), Fundación Largo Caballero, Clío, Red de Estudios y Difusión del Exilio republicano (REDER). «Antes de que los historiadores contemporáneos reivindicaran el valor del testimonio de la gente corriente como una forma más de acceso a la Historia, los fotoperiodistas de la primera mitad del siglo xx ya habían empezado a relatar la realidad a través de las imágenes de personas anónimas. La guerra civil fue -en esto también- anticipadora: con la guerra de España nació la comunicación visual de los sucesos y, paralela a ella, una mayor aproximación del fotógrafo a lo fotografiado (física, propiciada por las cámaras ligeras; profesional, por un compromiso explícito) y una intencionalidad creativa que corporeizaba el conflicto, explicándolo y trascendiéndolo más allá de las fronteras físicas peninsulares.» «...esta muestra estará permanentemente “en construcción”. Más allá de los homenajes que se desarrollan y concluyen en un período temporal muy concreto, “Memorias de nuestra infancia. Los niños de la guerra” cambiará su sentido y su forma a partir de todas las aportaciones que reciba, las realicen los propios protagonistas, o nos lleguen a través de sus hijos o nietos...» España

	Love, Donna
		By Donna Ferrato. 2002. The Digital Journalist. «Donna's photos are distinguished by a profound empathy and I would say almost delicate but strong intrusion into the other person's state of mind. An intrusion, which addresses itself purely to affection and love in all dimensions.» EEUU - inglés

	Lucky In Love
		By Susie Fitzhugh. 2000. The Digital Journalist. «Every month nine thousand unmarried couples arrive in Las Vegas and depart married-happily, one presumes. They come to Las Vegas to do what they could easily do at home, but chose to do in Sin City instead, a metropolis that manages to combine lust and insensibility, danger and boredom, allure and graceless reality, all in one package, like love itself.» EEUU - inglés

	Lynn Butler
		August 2004. The Digital Journalist. «I first sat on a horse at the age of eight, and have been in love with them ever since (with time off to behave badly with girls and motorcycles during my teenage years.) The characteristic that I and other horse lovers find so awe-inspiring and humbling about these magnificent creatures is that they are so willing to sublimate their own needs and fears to form a deep alliance with human beings.» EEUU - inglés

	Magnum, essays sur le monde
		Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Expositions Virtuelles. «L’agence Magnum Photos se distingue par un fonctionnement original de coopérative détenue exclusivement par ses photographes. Cette indépendance permet une grande liberté dans le choix et le traitement des reportages. Sa vocation d’agence de Presse s’exprime tous les jours grâce au relais de quatre rédactions: Paris, New York, Londres et Tokyo et d’une quinzaine d’agents dans le monde. Elle se manifeste surtout par le souci constant d’encourager les photographes dans leur démarche personnelle de témoins sensibles. Particulièrement attentifs aux phénomènes de société, leurs images sont souvent celles que l’on a en mémoire pour un événement, un mouvement ou une personnalité des soixante dernières années. Au delà des publications dans les journaux du monde entier, des livres et des expositions consacrent régulièrement l’action des photographes de MAGNUM PHOTOS. Créée en 1947 par Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger et David Seymour, Magnum Photos rassemble aujourd’hui soixante photographes devenus membres par cooptation. Les archives de Magnum, largement numérisées, comptent un million de documents depuis les années 30.» Francia

	Manuel Alvarez Bravo: Optical Parables
		John Paul Getty Museum. «Manuel Alvarez Bravo is generally recognized to be one of the masters of modern photography and the most significant artist in Mexico today. Born in Mexico City in 1902, Alvarez Bravo spent his youth in the city where visible markers of Mexico's pre-Columbian past, its colonial vestiges, and its modernity all coexist.» México

	Marlow, Peter
		Magnum Photos. «Peter Marlow's eye has been defined in relation to photojournalism, but he is not a photojournalist. Initially this was the path he chose, his early years marking him out as one of the most enterprising and successful of Britain's young news photographers. In 1976 he joined the hard-nosed Sygma photo agency group based out of Paris, for whom he delivered the decisive news moments of their trade, but found he didn't have the right appetite for the job.» Reino Unido
