The Work of Andreas Gursky

Andreas Gursky is a German landscape photographer and large format architect. Gursky, an admirer of post-production software usage in photography, talks openly about its benefit. He has used some of the most unconventional photographic techniques to capture images and his techniques have gotten international recognition. He has compared his work to modern trance music for its simplicity and symmetry.

His most famous landscape photographs include two six series photographs named ‘Rhein’ and ‘Ocean’. ‘Rhein’ is the depiction of the River Rhine and ‘Ocean’ series consists of six large size photographs augmented from satellite photographs of the ocean on internet. The second photograph of his Rhein series named as ‘Rhein II’ has sold for US$ 4.3 million making it the most expensive photograph of all time.

Light Painting Photography in Nature and Cities by Vitor Schietti

An international jury at Photokina 1963 voted William Klein one of the 30 most important photographers in the medium's history. He became famous in Europe immediately upon publication of his strikingly intense book of photographs, Life Is Good for You in New York - William Klein Trance Witness Revels, for which he won the Prix Nadar in 1956. Klein's visual language made an asset out of accident, graininess, blur, and distortion. He has described his work as "a crash course in what was not to be done in photography." Klein employed a wide-angle lens, fast film, and novel framing and printing procedures to make images in a fragmented, anarchic mode that emphasized raw immediacy and highlighted the photographer's presence in the scene.

Klein revisited New York in 1954 and began his documentation of the city, hurling himself into the urban chaos. He worked in direct opposition to the model of elegance and discretion he saw in the images of Henri Cartier-Bresson. From 1955 to 1965, Klein produced bizarrely original fashion photography for Vogue and other publications. His employer at Vogue, Alexander Liberman, wrote, "In the fashion pictures of the fifties, nothing like Klein had happened before. He went to extremes, which took a combination of great ego and courage. He pioneered the telephoto and wide-angle lenses, giving us a new perspective. He took fashion out of the studio and into the streets.
