Burgess before he came to photography. According to Marcus A. Root, in his THE CAMERA AND THE PENCIL p.390, Burgess, on a visit to Paris in 1840, learned the daguerreian process “with one of the artisans, who had taken part in constructing Daguerre’s first sun-painting apparatus”, either from Michel Chevreul or Alphonse Giroux. By 1844, Burgess had a thriving portrait gallery at 192 Broadway in New York City, and a branch in Charleston, South Carolina. His AMBROTYPE MANUAL was first published in 1856, and quickly sold out, requiring a second edition only months later. Additional editions, with revisions and differing titles followed. His career seems to have ended in 1862. This manual presents detailed instructions and formulae and includes information regarding apparatus, the darkroom, collodion (wet and dry) processes, gelatin emulsions, platinum, carbon, etc. This second edition of his manual includes the newly created, Pearl ambrotype process. Roosens and Salu No. 241a - the first manual on the ambrotype process.

  • Page 1 EYES WIDE OPEN: 100 YEARS of LEICA PHOTOGRAPHY
    EYES WIDE OPEN: 100 YEARS OF LEICA PHOTOGRAPHY OCTOBER 24, 2014 – JANUARY 11, 2015 DEICHTORHALLEN HAMBURG / HOUSE OF PHOTOGRAPHY The exhibition EYES WIDE OPEN: 100 YEARS OF LEICA PHOTOGRAPHY curated by Hans-Michael Koetzle, illuminates various aspects of recent small-format photography, from journalistic strategies to documentary approaches and free artistic positions, spanning fourteen chapters. Among the artists whose work will be shown are Alexander Rodchenko, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Christer Strömholm, Robert Frank, Bruce Davidson, William Klein, William Eggleston, René Burri, Thomas Hoepker and Bruce Gilden. Following its premiere in the House of Photography at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg, the exhibition will travel to Berlin, Frankfurt and Vienna, among other locations. According to an entry in the workshop records, by March 1914 at the latest, Oskar Barnack, who worked as an industrial designer at Ernst Leitz in Wetzlar, completed the first functional model of a small-format camera for 35mm cinema film. The introduction of the Leica (a combination of »Leitz« and »Camera«) which was delayed until 1925 due to the war, was not merely the invention of a new camera; the small, reliable and always-ready Leica, equipped with a high-performance lens specially engineered by Max Berek, marked a paradigm shift in photography. Not only did it offer amateur photographers, newcomers and emancipated women greater access to photography; the Leica, which could be easily carried in a coat pocket, also became a ubiquitous part of everyday life. The comparatively affordable small-format camera stimulated photographic experimentation and opened up new perspectives. In general, visual strategies for representing the world became more innovative, bold and dynamic.

  • HC HAW Pressrelease 2019
    Hasselbladstiftelsen Hasselblad Foundation Press Release Daido Moriyama Gothenburg, March 8, 2019 Hasselblad Award Winner 2019 The Hasselblad Foundation is pleased to announce that Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama is the recipient of the 2019 Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography for the sum of SEK 1,000,000 (approx. USD 110,000). The award ceremony will take place in Gothenburg, Sweden on October 13, 2019. A symposium will be held on October 14, followed by the opening of an exhibition of Moriyama’s work at the Hasselblad Center, and the release of a new book about the artist, published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König. The Foundation’s citation regarding the Hasselblad Award Laureate 2019, Daido Moriyama: »Daido Moriyama is one of Japan’s most renowned photographers, celebrated for his radical approach to both medium and subject. Moriyama’s images embrace a highly subjective but authentic approach. Reflecting a harsh vision of city life and its chaos of everyday existence and unusual characters, his work occupies a unique space between the illusory and the real. Moriyama became the most prominent artist to emerge from the short-lived yet pro- foundly influential Provoke movement, which played an important role in liberating photography from tradition and interrogating the very nature of the medium. His bold, uncompromising style has helped engender widespread recognition of Japanese photography within an international context. Influen- ced by photographer William Klein, the writings of Jack Kerouac and

  • The Gaze of Things
    The Gaze of Things Between 1957 and 1972, a radical transformation in photographic language was brought about in Japan by a group of photographers who started to develop their work in the post- war period. This renovation ran parallel to the great economic, cultural and psychosocial changes of a period marked by social confrontation directed in particular against the American legacy of the occupation. The unprecedented economic rise experienced by the country from 1964 onwards, together with its rapid immersion in an industrial and consumer culture that suppressed the values and structures of a fundamentally agrarian society, formed the background against which these artists developed a new kind of photography. The Gaze of Things. Japanese Photography in the Context of Provoke is an exhibition that gathers a selection of pictures taken by photographers belonging to four generations: Toyoko Tokiwa, Ikkō Narahara, Shōmei Tōmatsu, Eikoh Hosoe, Akira Satō, Kikuji Kawada, Hiroshi Hamaya, Takashi Hamaguchi, Nobuyoshi Araki, Yutaka Takanashi, Takuma Nakahira, Daidō Moriyama, Tamiko Nishimura, Ishiuchi Miyako and Kōji Enokura. In 1956, a series of photographs by Ikkō Narahara entitled Ningen no tochi (Human Land) was exhibited at a Tokyo gallery. It already displayed a new type of gaze that had little in common with the naturalist realism of the great post-war photographers like Ken Domon. Narahara called it a “personal document”, meaning a subjective document which, while based upon his personal gaze on concrete realities, allows itself to be affected by the realities those objects return to us. Shōmei Tōmatsu had meanwhile been working for years on a form of “documenting” that would move beyond the supposed “objectivity” of photojournalism.
