His training in advanced mathematics and mechanical engineering led him to the design of optical systems. While travelling in Europe, Asia and North America, he met several experts and renowned personalities from the technology and academic work. Far from being part of a mythological pantheon, as they are often portrayed in the media, those are very real people with serious flaws, deep qualities and certainly power.  This sparked his interest for portrait and the analog photography process. His work is deeply influenced by American photographers, Kim and Edward Weston, Richard Avedon and Robert Mapplethorpe. He specializes in taking portraits of those who dare facing their fears, own their scars.

Little more than a month later, after running across reproductions of two pictures made by Henri Cartier-Bresson, he decided to be a photographer.\n\nFollowing his graduation, Papageorge worked for about a year as a map clerk in an insurance company in San Francisco and then as an attendant at a mental hospital in Boston. In 1965 he spent ten months photographing in Spain and Paris and, late that year, returned to the states and moved to New York, where he soon met Robert Frank and was invited by Garry Winogrand to participate in a workshop that Winogrand was about to initiate at his apartment on Sunday evenings. It was a heady moment for photographers in New York: Frank's \"The Americans\", published in 1958, and the appointment in 1962 of John Szarkowski as the Director of the Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art formed the backdrop for what turned out to be an critical transition point in the evolution of American photography in general, and urban photography in particular.  (For example, it's difficult to imagine that Winogrand's attempts at the time to craft a working definition of the medium that could serve both as his own credo and as a creditable benchmark for other photographers to measure their own work against would have occurred apart from this special, carbonating circumstance.) And Tod Papageorge found himself in the middle of it.\n\nAfter grappling with the challenging problem of photographing on the streets of Manhattan through the 1960s, Papageorge was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1970 to photograph \"spectator sports in America.\" Working during an especially divisive period of the Vietnam War, he employed Leicas and wide-angle lenses to fill his pictures \"up to the brim and even above the brim\" with incident and drama. These photographs of iconic events (the World Series, the Cotton Bowl, etc.) and equally iconic spaces (the old Yankee stadium, Legion Field in Birmingham) —seventy of which make up \"American Sports, 1970, or How We Spent the War in Vietnam\", published in 2008 by Aperture—bind what seem to be the hysterical energies of games and a distant war together in a powerful metaphorical knot.\n\nBack in New York, Papageorge took up teaching photography in a number of schools to support himself, an occupation that eventually landed him at the Yale University School of Art, where he was appointed the Walker Evans Professor of Photography and Director of Graduate Studies in Photography in 1979, positions he continues to hold. During his tenure at Yale, 24 graduates of the M. F. A. program have received Guggenheim Fellowships; several of these and other graduates—including Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Abelardo Morell, Gregory Crewdson, An-My Le, Katy Grannan, and Tim Davis—would, by any measure, have to be counted as among the strongest and most influential photographers of the past thirty years\n\nIn 1977, Papageorge curated \"Public Relations\", an exhibition of Garry Winogrand's photographs, at the Museum of Modern Art; four years after that, he curated \"Walker Evans and Robert Frank: An Essay on Influence\" for the Yale University Art Gallery. Both of these exhibitions included catalogs with seminal essays by Papageorge; in 2001 the Yale University Art Gallery also published a long text of his on Robert Adams's \"What We Bought\". These essays, as well as several articles that Papageorge wrote during the 1990s for the Times Literary Supplement, are included in a collection of his writings on photography, \"Core Curriculum\", published by Aperture in 2011.\n\nWhile he worked on the Winogrand exhibition in 1977, Papageorge, with the support of a second Guggenheim Fellowship, began to photograph with mid-format cameras in Central Park. This project, which demanded a more deliberate and concentrated style of picture-making than his earlier 35mm work, continued through periods of varying intensity until he moved out of New York in 1993. \"Passing Through Eden\", a collection of these photographs, was published by Steidl in 2007, and exhibited in New York (at Pace MacGill), Athens and London, where it led to Papageorge being selected as one of the four artists short-listed for the Deutsch Børse Prize in 2009.\n\nPhotographs he made from 1978-1980 at New York's famed Studio 54 were published as a book in 2014.\n\nIn addition to his Guggenheim Fellowships, Tod Papageorge has received two National Endowment for the Arts grant and was a Resident during the summer of 2009 at the American Academy of Rome, where he photographed in color for the first time in twenty years. \n\nHis work is represented in more than thirty major public collections, including those of the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris.\n\n— Bio courtesy Pace / MacGill Gallery","user_id":6286,"name":"Tod Papageorge","website":"bit.ly/tod-papageorge"},{"id":6425,"bio":"William Eggleston, in full William Joseph Eggleston, Jr. (born July 27, 1939, Memphis, Tennessee, U.S.), American photographer whose straightforward depictions of everyday objects and scenes, many of them in the southern United States, were noted for their vivid colours, precise composition, and evocative allure. His work was credited with helping establish colour photography in the late 20th century as a legitimate artistic medium.\n\nBorn into wealth, Eggleston grew up on his family’s former cotton plantation in the Mississippi Delta and, as a teenager, attended a boarding school in Tennessee. As a student at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, he began to take photographs after a friend, recognizing his artistic inclinations as well as his fascination with mechanics, encouraged him to buy a camera. Eggleston maintained the pursuit as he transferred to Delta State College (now Delta State University) in Cleveland, Mississippi, and then to the University of Mississippi, where he spent several years before leaving without a degree. Exposure to the vernacular style of Walker Evans and, especially, the compositions of Henri Cartier-Bresson influenced his earliest work, which he produced in black and white.\n\nAfter settling in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1964, Eggleston began to experiment with colour photography, which, in part because of its association with both amateur snapshots and commercial work, had rarely been appreciated as fine art. Sensing an opportunity to forge new ground, he set to capture images he encountered in his surroundings with a neutral eye—devoid of either sentiment or irony—and, radically, in full colour. Over the next decade, he produced thousands of photographs, focusing on ordinary Americans and the landscapes, structures, and other materials of their environs; a representative example, from 1970, depicts a weathered blue tricycle parked on a sidewalk. In the early 1970s Eggleston discovered that printing with a dye-transfer process, a practice common in high-end advertising, would allow him to control the colours of his photographs and thereby heighten their effect. Among his first photographs to employ the technique were a stark image of a bare lightbulb fixed to a blood-red ceiling (1973) and those compiled in 14 Pictures (1974), his first published portfolio.\n\nHaving been granted a Guggenheim fellowship in 1974, Eggleston received an additional career boost two years later with a solo exhibition at New York City’s Museum of Modern Art. (Its curator, John Szarkowski, had taken an interest in Eggleston’s work upon meeting him nearly a decade earlier.) The show provoked hostility from some critics, notably Hilton Kramer, who judged the snapshotlike pictures banal and lacking in artistry. Other viewers, however, found that Eggleston’s intensely saturated hues and striking perspectives imbued an ominous or dreamlike quality to their seemingly mundane subjects. He soon took on various commissioned projects, which resulted in series set in, among other locations, U.S. Pres. Jimmy Carter’s hometown of Plains, Georgia (1976), and Elvis Presley’s Graceland mansion in Memphis (1983–84).\n\nBecause of the geographic milieu in which Eggleston often worked, his photographs were sometimes characterized as reflections on the South, though he pointedly resisted such interpretations, claiming an interest in his subjects chiefly for their physical and formal qualities rather than for any broader significance. In the 1980s he traveled extensively, and the photos in the monograph The Democratic Forest (1989), set throughout the United States and Europe, proceeded from his desire to document a multitude of places without consideration for traditional hierarchies of meaning or beauty. Eggleston’s other publications include Los Alamos (2003), a collection of pictures taken in 1966–74, many of them on road trips.\n\nBy the turn of the 21st century, the skepticism that had initially greeted Eggleston’s work had largely dissipated, and the retrospective William Eggleston: Democratic Camera, Photographs and Videos, 1961–2008, which originated in 2008 at the Whitney Museum of American Art, solidified his reputation as a skilled innovator. For his contributions to photography, Eggleston received the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography in 1998 and a Sony World Photography Award in 2013.","user_id":6425,"name":"William Eggleston","website":"www.egglestontrust.com"},{"id":672415,"bio":"Tom got his start hiring and working with photographers as a print producer and art buyer on the agency side of the business.

As a contemporary artist, Ralph uses photography, sculpture, and drawing to explore the complexities of life and cultural coexistence within his projects, as embodied in The American Experiment; the concepts of time and space in Moon Landing; and the power of the female form set against an ever-evolving urban landscape in Rebirth of a City.

Since 1968 he has taught at the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, D.C.\n\nHis artistic career began with the painting of large abstract-expressionist canvasses, but gradually he began to be drawn to material that spoke about the place of his childhood. Although he was raised in Tuscaloosa, Christenberry spent his summers with extended family in rural Hale County. After graduating from the University of Alabama and beginning a promising, if not immediately rewarding, artistic career in New York City, he came across the 1941 book, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, in which James Agee describes in prose, and Walker Evans in photographs, the experience of living among the dirt-poor farming families of Hale County during the Great Depression. Some of Evans's photographs made a deep impression on Christenberry.\n\nShortly after beginning a professorship at Corcoran College, Christenberry began making annual visits to Hale County during the summer to visit family and to explore and make photographs. Originally these all were made with a Kodak Brownie camera given to him as a child, but he later moved to a large format view camera in order to capture more detail. On one notable occasion in 1973, Walker Evans, who had encouraged Christenberry to take his photographs seriously, accompanied him. This was Evans's first and only return to Hale County since 1936.\n\nOne of the results of this pilgrimage was a series of remarkable photographs documenting the decay of individual structures, which are photographed as nearly isolated objects. In 1974, Christenberry began translating some of these photographed buildings into incredibly detailed sculptures that accurately reproduce their state of decay and patina. Although very detailed and properly proportioned, Christenberry does not refer to these creations as models, as he says they are not based on precise measurements, and he prefers that they be called sculptures. The bases for these sculptures often are set in soil taken from these places. On many of these trips, Christenberry has collected old advertising signs and other found objects that inspire him. Some of these are incorporated into his work, while others hang in his studio.\n\nAnother series of works was provoked by a terrifying incident when, out of curiosity, he tried to attend a meeting of the Ku Klux Klan. Confronted at the door by a glaring masked figure, Christenberry fled. Although he destroyed his first two Klan paintings, the subject occupied him for many years, resulting in a dense multi-media construction adjacent to his studio that came to be known as the \"Klan Room,\" which was burgled mysteriously in 1979. Christenberry has largely reconstructed the room, which is filled with paintings, found objects, drawings, sculptures, dioramas, and a series of fabric dolls of Klansmen in their hooded robes.\n\nThough known more as a photographer and multi-media artist than as a painter, Christenberry continues to teach painting. His work has been exhibited in solo and group shows around the world and is the subject of several monographs. He is represented by Pace/MacGill Gallery in New York.","user_id":1583,"name":"William Christenberry","website":"www.christenberryonline.com"},{"id":103740,"bio":"","user_id":103138,"name":"M van der Werf","website":"krekt.org"},{"id":281292,"bio":"I graduated in Art Graphics at the Academy of Fine Arts in Reggio Calabria and for many years I started taking photographs and expanding my technique and my visual language.

His photo-accumulations demonstrate a tender vision factored out of experience; alert, watchful, not overeager, wary of that mendacious conceit, ‘closure’. There is always flow, momentum, the sense of a man passing through a place that delights him. A sense of stepping down, immediate engagement, politic exchange. Then he remounts the bicycle and away. Loving retrievals, like a letter to a friend, never possession… What I like about Stephen Gill is that he has learnt to give us only as much as we need, the bones of the bones of the bones…”\nIain Sinclair\n\n“Stephen Gill is emerging as a major force in British photography. His best work is a hybrid between documentary and conceptual work. It is the repeated exploration of one idea, executed with the precision that makes these series so fascinating and illuminating. Gill brings a very British, understated irony into portrait and landscape photography.”\nMartin Parr\n\n“Stephen Gill’s photographs have all the naïve gusto of the field studies series of old. Mercifully lacking in sarcasm and malevolent irony, they are also wise and modern and beautifully laden with tiny, understated details about the way we live today.”\nJon Ronson","user_id":1562,"name":"Stephen Gill","website":"www.stephengill.co.uk"},{"id":199289,"bio":"Malcolm Mc Gettigan is a Dublin based photographer specialising in portrait, commercial and documentary photography.","user_id":198687,"name":"Malcolm Mc gettigan","website":"malcolmmcgettigan.format.com"},{"id":222397,"bio":"\n\n","user_id":221795,"name":"Raffaele Mosca","website":""},{"id":378348,"bio":"Some people will not like my work.

Explorations of identity can also take a turn for the playful and provocative—as evidenced in lighter series like Beon Sleeps and Me and Friends.\n\nUltimately, a good photograph is one that brings us face to face with our own existence.

He was born in New York in 1938. He began photographing in 1962. He is a “street photographer” in the tradition of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank, although he works exclusively in color. As an early advocate of color photography (mid-60’s), Meyerowitz was instrumental in changing the attitude toward the use of color photography from one of resistance to nearly universal acceptance. His first book, Cape Light, is considered a classic work of color photography and has sold more than 100,000 copies during its 30-year life. He is the author of 17 other books, including the newly released book by Aperture, Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks.\n\nIn 1998 he produced and directed his first film, POP, an intimate diary of a three-week road trip he made with his son, Sasha, and his father, Hy. This odyssey has as its central character an unpredictable, street-wise and witty 87 year-old with a failing memory. It is both an open-eyed look at aging and a meditation on the significance of memory.\n\nWithin a few days of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, Meyerowitz began to create an archive of the destruction and recovery at Ground Zero and the immediate neighborhood. The World Trade Center Archive consists of over 8,000 images, and was created with the sponsorship of the Museum of the City of New York, to whom a set of digital files was donated for their archives and for exhibition. The Archive is an historic, photographic record of the immediate aftermath of the tragedy and the neighborhood as it evolved.  The U.S. Department of State mounted 35 exhibitions of this work and they were shown around the globe from their inauguration by Colin Powell in Spring 2002 until 2005. Over 4 million people have seen these shows from Jerusalem to Islamabad, Rome, Paris, London, Kuwait, Moscow, Istanbul, and 200 other cities. Meyerowitz’s photographs from the World Trade Center Archives were also on view when he represented the United States at the 8th Venice Biennale for Architecture in 2002.\n\nMeyerowitz created a traveling exhibition of 117 vintage and modern prints entitled “Out of the Ordinary 1970-1980,” which premiered at the Jeu de paume in Paris, France.  It has been exhibited at the Museum der Modern in Salzburg, Austria, and the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, the Musee de la Photographie in Charleroi, Belgium and the Thessaloniki Museum of Photography in Thessaloniki, Greece\n\nMeyerowitz completed the ambitious project of documenting and creating an archive of New York City’s 29,000 acres of parkland. It is the first long term visual documentation of NYC parks since the 1930’s when they were photographed as part of Franklin Roosevelt’s WPA program. Adrian Benepe, Commissioner of Parks and Recreation, has invited Meyerowitz to produce a comprehensive database for future use by the Parks department and to share these images of the parks with communities in all 5 boroughs.  Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks was published by Aperture in the fall of 2009, accompanied by a large scale exhibition of the same name at the Museum of the City of New York.\n\nMeyerowitz is a two time Guggenheim fellow, a recipient of both the NEA and NEH awards, as well as a recipient of the Deutscher Fotobuchpreis.

My longstanding hobby has now become a passion and way of looking at the world around me.\n\nAt this point in my development as a photographer, I am interested in depicting human stories without the human being physically present in them. Man is omnipresent in our world. He leaves his mark everywhere, has great influence on the landscape and the environment he lives in and makes a great statement through the matter he produces.\n\nAll human emotions and feelings are contained in this material and on the basis of this it is possible to depict beautiful stories that go beyond an eye-to-eye portrait. For now my focus is on documentary still life and conceptual product photography.

The Firm has been exhibited internationally since 2001, most recently at the Pobeda Gallery in Moscow where a TV documentary about him was aired on Russian television for the Stories in Details Arts series.\n\nHis second book, Idols + Believers, an intensive journey into the nature of fame and today’s celebrity culture, was published in 2006 with a touring exhibition shown in London, Paris, New York and Miami.\n\nA third book, Pleasure Island, looking at the pursuit of pleasure, rock and roll and dance culture in Ibiza, was published in 2008 with an exhibition at The Printspace in London in 2008 and remains on the walls in the Ibiza Rocks Hotel, the home of the Ibiza Rocks Festival.\n\nCurrently The Family, a ten-year-on update from The Firm, which looks again at Britain’s organized crime world in a new decade and was premiered as an exhibition at the Visa Pour L'Image festival in Perpignan, France in September 2011, is touring globally as an exhibition with the accompanying photographic book published by Foto8 in December 2011.\n\nMost recently, a book about today’s ‘Season’,  A British Entertainment, that looks at the British class system at both public and private events and was released in May 2012.

He is presently continuing this work for Sea Change, a major project started in 2013 documenting youth across Europe, involving an international roster of photographers for which he is photo-director. In February 2013, he was invited onto the jury of the World Press.\n\nAn ongoing project Muse (photographed over the last twelve years) is a series of close-up photographs of friends, family and partners, which depicts an honest, intimate and personal insight into femininity.  The work explores beauty and female emotion in an unvarnished and un-retouched manner, challenging the 21st Century ethos of cosmetic enhancement and air-brushed magazine perfection. Muse has so far been exhibited at the Third Floor Gallery in Cardiff, Wales and at Fotopub in Novo Mesto, Slovenia. It will be shown in London and New York in 2013.\n\nIn addition to the continuing British Youth series, he has recently finished working on an innovative book project about the city of his birth London, Tired of London, Tired of Life.

Over the years, photography as taken a growing place in my work. Today it has become my main activity. My questions about the meaning of \"being an architect\" led me to put forward the hypothesis that beyond the exercise of a profession, \"being an architect\" was more of the activity of \"being there\".

This way of being (in the world) determines the way of acting (reporting on the world) and influences the way I photograph.\nMy photographic production would be fundamentally different if instead of knowledge and skills acquired to practice architecture, I had been instructed in intellectual and practical notions to practice as a photographer.\nIn my photographic activity, this concept of \"glances\" finds a more usual meaning to extend, in a more general way, to a questioning of the notion of \"point of view\". A questioning that focuses mainly on the actions of deciding and choosing the object to be photographed as well as on the way it becomes the subject in the shooting, then in the production process.\nBeyond the subject matter or the theme that characterizes them, the photographic series I produce are an opportunity to work on the notion of \"point of view\" in a particular and discriminating perspective.","user_id":559315,"name":"Hervé Dulongcourty","website":"www.linkedin.com/in/herve-dulongcourty-4338051ab"},{"id":172566,"bio":" ","user_id":171964,"name":"Luke Fazekas","website":"www.doctordarkroom.com"},{"id":600535,"bio":"GMPSA,GPSA,ARPS,AFIAP","user_id":599951,"name":"Bob Chiu","website":""},{"id":698596,"bio":"","user_id":698012,"name":"Maaike Tazelaar","website":""},{"id":143496,"bio":"","user_id":142894,"name":"Pillar Pedreira","website":""},{"id":833789,"bio":"I’m Inna, and my inspiration comes from city streets, architecture, and simple moments that often go unnoticed.

His life experiences, including his identity as an autistic and transgender person, profoundly shape his artistic vision. Through self-portraiture, Harris navigates mental health challenges and connects with others through a sense of shared vulnerability and openness.  \n\nHarris discovered photography during a period of personal transition, marked by struggles with an eating disorder, depression, and gender dysphoria. Unable to articulate his emotions verbally, he found solace behind the lens, using self-portraiture to confront his inner world with raw honesty. This creative practice became an essential tool for self-understanding, establishing the foundation of his ongoing project “Inner Journey,” which intertwines visual storytelling with the complexities of everyday life. Harris invites viewers to engage with his vulnerability and strength through this autobiographical series, offering a glimpse into the artist’s mind.\n\nHarris graduated from the Nederlandse Fotovakschool in Apeldoorn in 2018, where he received the Keep an Eye Fotovakschool Grant for best photographic work and most original project plan. Since then, his work has been internationally recognized through several accolades and nominations, including the Zilveren Camera prize in the documentary category (2018), being named an Emerging Talent by LensCulture (2019), and being selected as a Foam Talent (2022).\n\nHis work has been widely exhibited in various group and solo exhibitions and acquired by prestigious permanent collections, including the Art Collection Deutsche Börse in Frankfurt, Germany, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, United Kingdom. His book “MARVEL” (self-published, 2020) was awarded the MACK First Book Award and republished to critical acclaim in 2021. In 2023, Harris was the recipient of the RPS Award for Achievement in the Art of Photography (under 35yrs) in acknowledgment of his important contribution as a vital new voice in contemporary photography.
