德国摄影师Jochen Lempert的作品专注于自然和动物。在上世纪90年代从事摄影之前,他是一位生物学家。这样的双重身份造就了介于科学与艺术,理性与感性,真实与虚拟,抽象与具象的风格。
“他真正质疑了何谓摄影画面,虽以自然的事物为题材,但因为用粗糙的手法拍摄,于是让摄影画面裡产生某种虚拟现实的东西。此外,很重要的是“接近”(proximity)和“距离”的问题:你必须接近摄影画面,才能看出里面的状态。然后你必须再后退,来感受整幅影像的向度。(他的作品呈现了)介于抽象和具象之间的界线,以及质疑摄影画面作为某种在真实之外的自主性的存在(autonomous entity)。他的照片并不呈现真实,但创造它们自己的某种真实。”(via)
Jochen Lempert is a German photographer whose work is about the world of nature and animals. Lempert first studied as a biologist before turning to photography in the early 1990s. Accordingly, his pictures are marked with scientific aspects, not only referring to his motives but more to the whole process of photography.

爱尔兰国宝级摄影师Bill Doyle(1926 – 2010)被誉为爱尔兰的布列松,多年来,自学成才的他用黑白影像捕捉爱尔兰阿伦群岛人们淳朴而原始的生活方式。然而,与快门不停按的布列松的相异之处在于,他是一位非常珍惜昂贵胶片的“one-shot”摄影师。
阿伦群岛,在这片堪称世外桃源的岛屿上,当地的人们一直使用爱尔兰语,并遵循从旧时沿袭下来的生活方式,安静而悠然。Bill Doyle自1960年代以来拍摄的大量阿伦群岛渔民的生活剪影,均收录在《The Aran Islands: Another World》一书中。
Bill Doyle, who passed away last year at the age of 85, was often referred to as Ireland’s Cartier-Bresson and had a knack for artfully capturing the scenes of the world around him. During his trips to the islands, he was able to photograph many of the people and their daily activities and in 1999 a collection of these pictures were published together in a single volume titled The Aran Islands – Another World.

《馆子》,一本收录十七位中国年轻摄影师作品的摄影书。在这个洪水猛兽的时代里, 这些摄影师不算浮躁,还在拧把地使用着传统相机,在冲取胶片的路上盘算余下的钞票够去哪儿走走,今后拍些什么,该怎么拍,相机是他们与这个世界较量的最好方式。面对中国新摄影这个庞杂冗大的词汇,谁也无法代表这个时代的全部精神,他们也会象 其他人一样,年华老去,不再适合“新”和“年轻”这样的华丽辞藻,但此时此刻的他们鲜嫩多汁,凶猛极端或温柔似水,作品里早已有了倔强的光芒和沉静的呼 吸。这一代人的成长经历,注定了他们的细腻敏感,青春被消费在了一个精神廉价的时代,他们面对的世界更辽阔了,却也更听不见回声。因此在这百幅影像作品 里,我们可以看到一个个生命个体对自我存在的早慧的质疑,面对生活既充满隔阂,也深深沉溺。
Light Room is a photography book realeased by Goooodie.com, includes works by 17 young Chinese photographers. In our treacherous and grotesque age, these are the ones who have not been carried away. They still stick to traditional flim cameras, and already come up with new plans for the next destination and next shoot with their last penny, even on the way to develop film rolls. As a matter of fact, cameras are their arms in the wrestling with the reality. None is able to fully represent the rising neo-photography in China, for that the youngsters will eventually fade away just like the rest, and lose their halo of being “fresh” or “young”. However, at this moment, traits which they boast, being tender, aggressive, or simply mild, are reflected in their works through different approaches, calm or rebellious. The upbringing and life experience of this generation have early declared their sensitivity deep down. In a broadened world, their voices hardly echo, and their youth is consumed. Therefore, via the collection, not only a premature doubt of self-awareness is subtly expressed, but also their dilemma of being isolate from and addict to life at the same time.
