2007 TED Prize winner James Nachtwey. Интереснейшее выступление гуру фотожурналистики Джеймса Начтвея.

Accepting his 2007 TED Prize, James Nachtwey talks about his decades as a photojournalist. A slideshow of his photos, beginning in 1981 in Northern Ireland, reveals two parallel themes in his work. First, as he says: “The frontlines of contemporary wars are right where people live.” Street violence, famine, disease: he has photographed all these modern WMDs. Second, when a photo catches the world’s attention, it can truly drive action and change. In his TED wish, he asks for help gaining access to a story that needs to be told, and developing a new, digital way to show these photos to the world.

Недавно Гремлинн опубликовал в своем блоге последнее интервью с Картье-Брессоном. Настоятельно рекомендую посмотреть, если не видели, — гуру, что говорится, «жжот». А в тему, обнаружился не менее интересный ролик с Гарри Винограндом, записанный в далеком 82-м году прошлого столетия. Для тех, кому сложно воспринимать английскую речь на слух, там есть транскрипция наиболее интересных моментов.

When I’m photographing, I see life. That’s what I deal with. I don’t have pictures in my head. I frame in terms of what I want to include, and naturally, when I want to snap the shutter. And I don’t worry about how the picture’s gonna look – I let that take care of itself. We know too much about how pictures look and should look, and how do you get around making those pictures again and again. It’s one modus operandi. To frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about how – making a nice picture. That, anybody can do.
