Juergen Teller Lecture Video / WTJ Blog

Especially when you are interested in editorial and portrait photography, Andrew Hetherington’s Blog WTJ (whatsthejackanory.com) gives good and amusing  insights, also with a focus on what’s going in in NYC. Andrew went to a lecture with Juergen Teller and filmed it – it’s quite long but also very interesting. I especially like the moment  Teller says that when he started out, a magazin (don’t remeber if he said FACE or ID) paid him 100 £ per page, and to reduce costs, he bought a 35 mm film (that’s what he still shoots) with only 12 exposures which forced him to work “very precise”.This guy really knows what he wants.

Ryan Mc Ginley II – Levis and Wrangler campaign similar?

BTW: Ryan Mc Ginely last year shot a campaign for Wrangler that won a prize in Cannes , now competitor Levis launched a campaign with exact the same photographer and a topic and style that is not so far away from what we saw with Wrangler… See an article at Creative Review here.

Jussi Puikkonen

I just found the work of finnish (and now Amsterdam based) photographer Jussi Puikkonen and wanted to share it with you.

I first read about his book “on vacation”, that  shows vacation parks, ressorts, beaches etc. in the long, 9 months lasting finish winter period. You find some photos of the series here, you must scroll down then to see all pictures.

But I also like his fashion and portrait stuff. Born 1980, young big talent.

African photographer Malick Sidibe shoots Fashion for New York Times

Malick Sidibe shot a fashion editorial for the New York Times Style magazine. During the whole shoot, he exposed not more than 22 frames for 9 pages. 2-3 pictures per subject. Isn’t that a sign for us who shoot digital like crazy?

Read the backstory plus interview here.
