Beksiński Fotografia

Jan Bułhak jest uważany za ojca polskiej fotografii i twórcę estetyki bułhakowskiej. Był założycielem Fotoklubu Wileńskiego oraz współzałożycielem Fotoklubu Polskiego i Związku Polskich Artystów Fotografów. Wykonał dokumentację fotograficzną architektury wielu miast, m.in. Grodna, Lublina, Krakowa, Warszawy, Wilna czy Zamościa. Wydawał również pocztówki ze swoimi fotografiami. Stworzył pojęcie fotografiki, wyodrębniając tę gałąź grafiki, która tworzona jest za pomocą technik fotograficznych, i chcąc ją odróżnić od fotografii reporterskiej czy technicznej. Niestety, jego pracownia w Wilnie, wraz z cennymi negatywami, spłonęła w czasie walk o miasto. Po wojnie artysta dokumentował zniszczenia wojenne Wilna, a po przymusowym przesiedleniu w nowe granice Polski również polskich miast

Created in collaboration with Dronestegram, the world-leading drone photography website, and Ayperi Karabuda Ecer, a highly renowned photography editor, Dronescapes is the first book to bring together the very best photographs taken by quadcopters around the globe. It grants us the thrilling opportunity to see our planet from entirely new vantage points, whether this is a bird’s-eye view of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, a photograph taken inches away from an eagle in mid-flight, or a vertiginous shot taken above Mexico’s Tamul Waterfalls. There are extended commentaries on how individual images were created, profiles on notable photographers and a separate user guide containing key advice on how to use your drone. An introduction also discusses how the arrival of drone photography signals a major shift in the history of aerial photography.

Dronescapes is a landmark publication at the cutting edge of contemporary photography, taking the medium – for once, literally – to newfound, dizzying heights.

Featuring new and iconic images, this follow-up to Prestel’s highly successful A Year in Photography: Magnum Archive includes some of the most striking photography ever collected in one volume. As readers flip the pages they will find themselves traveling from west to east across the globe. Each country is represented in three or four images captured by a single photographer. While renowned figures such as Robert Capa, Bruce Davidson, and Martin Parr are included, readers will also find younger photographers such as Olivia Arthur, Alessandra Sanguinetti, and Mikhael Subotzky, all of whom present dazzling new views of our changing world. Shining a light on the human condition in every corner of the globe, this compilation exemplifies Magnum founder Henry CartierBresson’s vision of “a community of thought, a shared human quality, a curiosity about what is going on in the world, a respect for what is going on and a desire to transcribe it visually.”

Niniejsza publikacja, przygotowana z okazji 200. rocznicy urodzin Fryderyka Chopina (2010), jest fotograficznym zapisem prawie stuletniej tradycji promowania największego polskiego kompozytora poprzez warszawskie Międzynarodowe Konkursy Chopinowskie. Ukazuje miejsca, ludzi i wydarzenia nierozerwalnie związane z atmosferą tej szczególnej olimpiady artystycznej, podczas której prezentują się utalentowani muzycy z całego świata. Zachowany materiał zdjęciowy ukazuje najwybitniejszych, czasem juz legendarnych chopinistów, dokumentuje koncerty okolicznościowe, wystawy, spotkania oraz kulisy imprezy. Daje świadectwo popularności Chopina, pełnej entuzjazmu recepcji jego dzieł wśród stale rosnącej liczby kandydatów do Konkursu i żywiołowej reakcji publiczności.

Photographs have a strange and powerful way of shaping the way we see the world. The most successful images enter our collective consciousness, defining eras, making history, or simply touching something so fundamentally human and universal that they have become resonant icons all over the globe. To explore this unique influence, Photo Icons puts some of the most important photographic landmarks under the microscope. From some of the earliest photography, such as Nicéphore Niépce’s 1827 eight-hour-exposure rooftop picture and Louis Daguerre’s famous 1838 street scene, through to Martin Parr, this is as much a history of the medium as a case-by-case analysis of its social, historical, and artistic impact. We take in experimental Surrealist shots of the 1920s and the gritty photorealism of the 1930s, including Dorothea Lange’s Migrant Mother.
