Graeme Williams - Photographic Conversations

THIS VIDEO:Three European photographers, Michael Ackerman, Martin Bogren, Antoine d’Agata who, in order to communicate their introspective and personal responses, have pushed the limits of documentary photography into a domain that can probably be described as impressionism. Their photographs resemble snippets from a scrapbook or scrambled frames from a film that delves into the anguish of its characters. These photographers are occupying and experiencing a side to existence that most of us find voyeuristically interesting, but would rather not make our home in. Their subjects seem to be occupying a limbic state as they struggle to find their place within an unstable universe.

ABOUT ME: The conversations focus on topics related to different aspects of photography including: art, documentary and photojournalism. The discussions explore the personal experiences of photographers and artists and how their work reflects both their internal and external landscape. During the past 30 years I have photographed in over 50 countries for magazines including National Geographic, Time, New York Times and Newsweek. I have held solo exhibitions in New York, London and Paris and my work is showcased in private and institutional art collections around the world.

Oh, hello - well those weren't snapshots of mid-century Americana! So glad to see some different sides of photography examined by your excellent channel. These photographers aren't an easy watch/look, but so deserving of coverage and your discussion.

Thank you so much for dealing with the dark edges of the photography world. The poetry in the margins not vert often. gets the space it deserves. And thank you in general for contributing to expand our appreciation of photography as art.

Excellent video Graeme, thank you!.. I am grateful for your work here, as all of your episodes educate me in one aspect or another, and open my eyes to new depths and range in my own photography.

Learning about the work of these photographers is like reading the poetry of Charles Bukowski. Disturbing and inviting at the same time.

I really enjoyed the introduction to these three photographers. Although there work is dark, I was hooked by the fascinating images of realities that we often avoid, or look away from. Art can draw us into those worlds, make us feel edgy about them, but yet, still at least, become aware of them.thanks, Sean

If you like these kind of pictures get the book " Eyes wild open" by Marie Sordat. It is a good summary of this "trembling photography".

Hi Thanks, I hadn't seen that book, but just had a look online. Useful!

I feel interest in impressionistic work is at a low these days. These things tend to go in cycles with the zeitgeist. I would love to hear more about impressionism in photography in future videos thanks!

Very interesting, D'Agata always gives me a sense of repulsion but after I need to see more of that.very strange feeling, it touches raw emotions inside viewers

@blueboy4244 8 ай бұрын

I'm going to need to look into his thermal images some as those really hit a home run for me

@attilahorvath991 8 ай бұрын

Some of my favourite photographers. I also recommend checking out Lorenzo Castore's work.

@PhotoConversations 8 ай бұрын

A had a look at his work and there are definite similarities.

@blueboy4244 8 ай бұрын

Interesting that Agata is shown with a Contax G2 auto-focus camera and a 'leica digital' maybe? in that a lot of his stuff is purposefully out of focus; I knew Ackerman had to be using a Holga or similar as it's almost impossible now a days to get photos that...bad.. even when trying , with modern cameras. I use toy digitals and old zone focus film cameras myself

Yes, probably pre-focusing to near foreground.
