The question I've been asked the most since I started making videos is "How do I make it as a fine-art photographer". I will attempt to answer that today.

Fan Ho was one of the brilliant photographers to come out of China in the 1950's and 1960's. His most known body of work was done in Hong Kong documenting its mid-century growth. Later Fan Ho worked as an acclaimed and award-wining film director. He passed away from pnemonia on June 19, 2016 at the age of 84.

Lartigue Jun 03, 2016

Show notes

Jacques Henri Lartigue was largely unknown as a photographer until the age of 70. Born in Courbevoie to a wealthy family, he took up photography about the age of 7. Some of his most famous photographs were made as a teenager. His subjects ranged from auto-racing to aviation. Lartigue's use of action in his photographs set him apart from many photographers of the time. After the family money started running out in the 1930's, Lartigue spent the next 30 years making a meager salary off of his paintings. He had a few photographs published in the 1950's, but it wasn't until the 1960's that his work was shown to John Szarkowski at MoMA in New York and he became known as one of the great photographers of the 20th Century. Lartigue was near 70 by the time this happened. Book shown in this video: Jacques Henri Lartigue http://amzn.to/289mCRy Also recommended: Lartigue: Life in Color http://amzn.to/289nfL4

Welcome To Jackson Hole May 29, 2016

Show notes

Off to Jackson Hole, WY to film David Brookover for the Artist Series. David is the greatest photographer you've probably never heard of. He owns a gallery in Jackson Hole that features his own photographs. David's work celebrates the American West through landscape and wildlife images that are printed in a variety of mediums including silver gelatin, bromoil, photogravure, and platinum/palladium. David flew three printers to come assist on the shoot and be part of the video - Richard Jackson, Stephen Saunders and Matt Beaty.
