Last Thursday I attended a talk with Luis Baylon ( http://www.luisbaylon. com / ), at the invitation of Luis Miguel ( http://luismivillaescusa.com/ ) and its photography association on Monday we are ( http://www.l2q2.es/l2q2 /). The truth is that he was very pleasant and interesting what he told us, is a nice guy Luis Baylon. During the conversation
taught us some very good running audiovisual, one of them and still unpublished work, as we saw the photos, told us their views on the digital world, how to photograph etc. I'll try to summarize or so that I could take notes as I took in the PDA and I wiped out everything when I get home. As we taught
audiovisual, told us very interesting things to understand his work. For example, never leaves his Rollei. He has photography as a diversion rather than as a job, going everywhere with his Rollei, if there is something interesting to photograph. He did so on Thursday in the photo is not very well appreciated, but in his hand.
We showed footage on the subway, and told us as he had conceived. In general, when preparing a book, exhibition or audiovisual does not prepare a priori, but looks from the pictures I have on file. He did so for work pair of two or the subway. In this hit the ground if all the photos I had done in the metro, and selected the photos trying to revive a hypothetical trip by subway from the entrance to the exit with two transfers included.
told us that we should always go with the battery charged and ready to shoot, but not like you're a hunter. If you are a hunter you transmit tension and bad feeling, you go looking and shooting what we like, What happens if you see us? Nothing, if someone says something, "left", but more than was left handed seems to me, commented that if someone gets upset because it makes a picture, simply told not to use the no worry, and if you ask him if he had taken says, "can be, were you in front of me when I took the picture over there? So yes, but do not worry you will not be using "and complies. It has a maximum on this: if you can not take pictures down the street who do not make cameras!. A curious point of view. Although he says that people do not usually upset when I do photos if not to harass, even he arrives for talks with people you photograph, partly because people called attention to the camera that has a nice Rollei. In summary encouraged to take pictures of the street hide, and a natural way. We will have to try your recipe.
During the talk we also saw footage on a trip to China was a few years ago, but was not finished as soon plans to travel to China and wants to expand. Although I thought it was fine. About
photographers who have influenced his work, he told us a bit of your career. How it began and why it became a photographer. Commented that he wanted to be a filmmaker, but when he went to register for the year 1975, closed the film school. So sematriculó in law, but lasted 6 months. At 6 months he left and enrolled at the only school of photography that existed at that time: Photocentro, but when it acquired the basic skills also left him and started to learn on their own but not self, word hate, but learning from those who know, listening to who taught him techniques and photography tips. Commented that Cartier Bresson was one of those who first influenced him, but realized that there were others behind him as good or better, he was the tip of the iceberg. The important thing is to know the work but not copy it, create your own handwriting not copy others. That is, be yourself in this as in everything in life
.
They asked about Walker Evans and NY metro work and said he was a liar who hid the camera for taking pictures without being seen. An opinion as another, however I think it's one of the provocations that you enjoy doing from time to time, because I do not think Walker Evans is one of the greats.
took the opportunity to recommend two current exhibitions in Madrid: Weegee, which I view this week, and the a photographer Josef Sudek Czechoslovak pagre portrayed as anyone in the fifties. I'll see her week doing case his advice.
as not, left the issue of Digital and Black and White. Their position is simple, in Black and White analogue controls the entire process and manages to capture what you want, but in digital it is not possible, especially when you get digital copies in black and white. The eternal debate on BN vs nuncha said color has been achieved color you see, if we're lying, better to lie in black and white color. Moreover, the BN better reflects the textures and environments.
The truth is that we spent the time flying, learning from the teachers and seeing some wonderful photos. If someone wants to know Luis Baylon, have the opportunity to see him on Tuesday night in the program after 2 as you do an interview. We'll see!
