Raymond Depardon Raymond Depardon A largely self-taught photographer who learned through experience in the field, Depardon belongs to a generation of French photographers reluctant to overinterpret their subjects. In the long run, the photographer could only be absolutely sure of his or her own identity, which is why several of Depardon's publications are autobiographical. His wide range has enabled him to approach with equal talent news, sports, war photography, in-depth reportage, and advertising. His current interests are film-making and numerous photographic projects. Born in Villefranche-sur Saône, Depardon knew early on that he wanted to escape his destiny as a farmer's son: photography was to be his way out. He took his first pictures on the farm when he was twelve with a secondhand Rolleiflex bought with his savings. In 1956 he worked for six months assisting the local photographer-optician and learned photography through a correspondence course. In the 1960s Depardon covered the Algerian War and fulfilled his military service as a photographer for the Ministry of Defense's newspapers. He developed a profound love for the Middle East and the desert, which would be recurrent themes in his later work. In 1967 an important encounter with colleague Gilles Caron led to the founding of Gamma. They were assigned to the most troubled parts of the world: Africa, Vietnam and Cambodia. In 1969 Depardon made his first film on Jan Pallach and has since directed sixteen films. In 1971 he was imprisoned in Chad with his colleagues Caron, Michel Honorin and Robert Pledge. Following the disappearance in Vietnam of his best friend Caron, Depardon turned away from photojournalism for two years then returned to coverage of world events in 1971. In 1973 he became Gamma's director. That same year, he came to international attention for his contribution on a special report on Chile completed with two other Gamma photographers, Chas Gerretsen and David Burnett, with whom he shared the prestigious Robert Capa Gold Medal. From 1975 to 1977 Depardon traveled in Chad and received a Pulitzer Prize in 1977. The next year he left Gamma to become a Magnum associate, then a full member in 1979, when he also received a George Sadoul Prize for his film Numéro Zéro. Depardon has gone on to shoot numerous documentary films then went on to fiction with Empty Quarters (1984). As a photographer he also participated in the national project D.A.T.A.R. to document urban and rural landscape in France. In the 1990s, Depardon went back to his parents' farm to photograph rural landscapes in color, then in 1996 published a black-and-white road journal, In Africa, a personal but unsentimental account of his thirty-year journey through that continent. Depardon, who has exhibited internationally, has received numerous awards including the César Award for Best Documentary and a nomination for an Academy Award.

September 2021 Mehr Informationen zum Buch gibt es auf www.penguinrandomhouse.de Inhalte Buch lesen Mehr zum Autor Zum Buch "Chas's stunning photos bring back the experience." —Francis Ford Coppola</w:p><w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle w:val="ds12f" /></w:pPr>Hired in 1976 by Francis Ford Coppola as the still photographer for his masterpiece Apocalypse Now, Chas Gerretsen’s private archive of hundreds of photographs propels readers immediately into the chaos and drama surrounding one of the most important movies ever made. Gerretsen was a renowned freelance photographer who had previously worked in Chile and Vietnam when he got the call from Coppola, who was looking for a combat photographer for a war movie. Given unprecedented access to the film’s stars, extras, crew, and legendary behind-the-scenes drama he spent six months in the Philippines, shooting thousands of images. Culled from that archive, these full-color photographs offer an intimate glimpse of the turmoil and excitement of a Hollywood spectacle rising out of the unpredictable climate of the Philippine rainforest. Capturing the star power of Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, and Dennis Hopper, as well as the sprawling sets, he takes us into the beauty of the Southeast Asian jungle and shows us how its inhabitants were incorporated into the filming. Throughout the book, Gerretsen’s astute reflections of his experience on set are as fascinating as his photography. While Apocalypse Now remains one of the most critically acclaimed movies of all time, the making of the film is equally legendary.

  • On Photography, History, and Memory in Spain Hispanic Issues on Line Debates 3 (2011)
    2 Remembering Capa, Spain and the Legacy of Gerda Taro, 1936–1937 Hanno Hardt Press photographs are the public memory of their times; their presence in the public sphere has contributed significantly to the pictures in our heads on which we rely for a better understanding of the world. Some photographs have a special appeal, or an extraordinary power, which makes them icons of a particular era. They stand for social or political events and evoke the spirit of a period in history. They also help define our attitudes towards people or nations and, therefore, are important sources of emotional and intellectual power. War photography, in particular, renders imagery of this kind and easily becomes a source of propaganda as well. The Spanish Civil War (1936–39) was the European testing ground for new weapons strategies by the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Both aided their respective sides in the struggle between a Popular Front government— supported mainly by left-wing parties, workers, and an educated middle class—and “Nationalist” forces supported by conservative interests, the military, clergy, and landowners. The conflict resulted in about 500,000 deaths, thousands of exiles, and in a dictatorship that lasted until Franco’s death in 1975. It was a time when large-scale antifascist movements such as the Republican army, the International Brigades, the Workers’ Party of Marxist Unification, and anarchist militias (the Iron Column) united in their struggle against the military rebellion led by Francisco Franco. Foreigners joined the International Brigade, organized in their respective units, e.g., the Lincoln Battalion (USA), the British Battalion (UK), the Dabrowski Battalion (Poland), the Mackenzie-Papineau Battalion (Canada), and the Naftali Botwin Company (Poland and Spain, including a Jewish unit).
