Fotógrafos e fotógrafas de Circo

“August Sander, (born November 17, 1876, Herdorf, near Cologne, Germany—died April 20, 1964, Cologne), German photographer who attempted to produce a comprehensive photographic document of the German people.
The son of a mining carpenter, Sander apprenticed as a miner in 1889. Acquiring his first camera in 1892, he took up photography as a hobby and, after military service, pursued it professionally, working in a series of photographic firms and studios in Germany. By 1904 he had his own studio in Linz, and, after his army service in World War I, he settled permanently in Cologne, where in the 1920s his circle of friends included photographers and painters dedicated to what was called Neue Sachlichkeit, or New Objectivity.
After photographing local farmers near Cologne, Sander was inspired to produce a series of portraits of German people from all strata of society. His portraits were usually stark, photographed straight on in natural light, with facts of the sitters’ class and profession alluded to through clothing, gesture, and backdrop. At the Cologne Art Society exhibition in 1927, Sander showed 60 photographs of “Man in the Twentieth Century,” and two years later he published Antlitz der Zeit (Face of Our Time), the first of what was projected to be a series offering a sociological, pictorial survey of the class structure of Germany.
When the Nazis came to power in 1933, however, Sander was subjected to official disapproval, perhaps because of the natural, almost vulnerable manner in which he showed the people of Germany or perhaps because of the heterogeneity it revealed. The plates for Antlitz der Zeit were seized and destroyed. (One of Sander’s sons, a socialist, was jailed and died in prison.) During this period Sander turned to less-controversial rural landscapes and nature subjects. Late in World War II he returned to his portrait survey, but many of the negatives were destroyed either in bombing raids or, later in 1946, by looters.
The Federal Republic of Germany awarded Sander the Order of Merit in 1960. His son Gunther published part of Sander’s archive of photographs in 1986, using the outline and the title his father had originally planned, Menschen des 20. Jahrhunderts (Citizens of the 20th Century).”

Bruce Davidson

“Born in Oak Park, Illinois, Bruce Davidson has been interested in photography since age ten. While attending the Rochester Institute of Technology and Yale University, he continued studying photography and was particularly inspired by the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson and W. Eugene Smith. After military service he worked for LIFE in 1957 before joining Magnum, the cooperative photo agency founded in 1947 by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, George Rodger, and Chim (David Seymour). In his early work, Davidson typically selected subjects who were unusual or isolated from society, including a widow living in a Paris garret, a dwarf clown, and a teenage Brooklyn gang. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship to photograph events and figures of the civil rights movement, and in 1967 received the first photography grant awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts. He spent the next two years photographing one city block in New York City's East Harlem, publishing this work as East 100th Street (1970), one of his many books. In the early 1980s, Davidson made an extensive color photographic survey of New York's subways; more recently he has worked in Central Park. His work as appeared in The New York Times, Times Magazine, LIFE, Vogue, Esquire, and other publications worldwide, and his work as been shown at the Museum of Modern Art, the Walker Art Center, the National Museum of American Art, ICP and other museums.Bruce Davidson documents the lives of his subjects with sensitivity and sympathy. His photographs express his own desire to observe, understand, and reveal the complexity of people and their communities. He transforms intimately observed details and events into stories about individuals' lives that reflect concerns and emotions common to all.Cynthia FredetteHandy et al. Reflections in a Glass Eye: Works from the International Center of Photography Collection, New York: Bulfinch Press in association with the International Center of Photography, 1999, p. 213.”

Cornell Capa

Nascido como Cornell Friedmann, Cornel Friedmann ou Kornel Friedmann em Budapeste, Hungria, em 10 de abril de 1918, ele era o filho mais novo de Dezso e Julia Berkovits Friedmann, um casal judeu que não praticava nenhuma religião. Seus pais eram donos de uma próspera alfaiataria onde Dezso era o chefe dos alfaiates. Em 1931, seu irmão Robert foi forçado a deixar o país por causa de atividades de estudante esquerdistas que tinham pegado a atenção de funcionários do ditador húngaro anti-semita, Miklós Horthy. Em 1935, seu irmão mais velho, Laszlo, morreu de febre reumática.

Em 1936, aos 18 anos de idade, Cornell foi para Paris para trabalhar com seu irmão Robert, um notável fotojornalista. Em 1937, Cornell Capa se mudou para Nova Iorque para trabalhar no darkroom da revista Life.[4] Depois de servir na Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos, Capa se tornou fotógrafo para a Life em 1946. As muitas capas que Capa tirou para a revista incluem retratos da celebridade Jack Paar, da artista Grandma Moses e do ator Clark Gable.

Em maio de 1954, Robert Capa foi morto por uma mina durante as tensões que levaram à Guerra do Vietnã. Naquele mesmo ano, Cornell Capa se juntou à Agência Magnum, a agência de fotografia co-fundada por seu irmão. Para a Magnum, Capa cobriu a União Soviética, a Guerra dos Seis Dias e políticos americanos.

Começando em 1967, Cornell Capa montou uma série de exibições e livros com o título de The Concerned Photographer ("O Fotografo Preocupado", numa tradução literal). As exibições levaram ao estabelecimento em 1974 da International Center of Photography (Centro Internacional de Fotografia) em Nova Iorque. Capa serviu por muitos anos como diretor do Centro. Ele publicou varias coleções de fotografias suas, incluindo JFK for President ("JFK para Presidente"), uma série de fotografias sobre a campanha presidencial de 1960 que ele fez para a revista Life. Capa também publicou um livro sobre os primeiros 100 dias da presidência de Kennedy, com Henri Cartier-Bresson e Elliott Erwitt, os seus colegas fotógrafos da Magnum.

Capa escreveu prefácios para diversas coleções das fotografias de seu irmão e foi conhecido como um protetor da memória e reputação de Robert Capa. Por exemplo, quando falaram que a famosa fotografia de Robert Capa de um soldado espanhol caído durante a Guerra Civil Espanhola era falsa e não tirada no "momento da morte", Cornell Capa entrou numa batalha longa para estabelecer a legitimidade da fotografia, e até localizou o nome do soldado e a data de sua morte.

Capa morreu na cidade de Nova Iorque em 23 de maio de 2008, apenas dois dias antes do aniversário da morte (54 anos) do seu irmão.

Diane Arbus

“Who Was Diane Arbus?
An artistic youth, Diane Arbus learned photography from her husband, actor Allan Arbus. Together, they found success with fashion work, but Diane soon branched out on her own. Her raw, unusual images of the people she saw while living in New York created a unique and interesting portrayal of the city. She committed suicide in New York City in 1971.
Early Life
Born Diane Nemerov on March 14, 1923, in New York City, Arbus was one of the most distinctive photographers of the 20th century, known for her eerie portraits and off-beat subjects. Her artistic talents emerged at a young age, having created interesting drawings and paintings while in high school. In 1941, she married Allan Arbus, an American actor who fostered her artistic talent by teaching her photography.
Unique Photography
Working with her husband, Arbus started out in advertising and fashion photography. She and Allan became quite a successful team, with photographs appearing in such magazines as Vogue. In the late 1950s, she began to focus on her own photography. To further her art, Arbus studied with photographer Lisette Model around this time.
During her wanderings around New York City, Arbus began to pursue taking photographs of people she found. She visited seedy hotels, public parks, a morgue and other various locales. These unusual images had a raw quality, and several of them found their way into the July 1960 issue of Esquire magazine. These photographs proved to be a spring board for future work.
By the mid-1960s, Arbus had become a well-established photographer, participating in shows at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, among other places. She was known for going to great lengths to get the shots she wanted. She became friends with many other famous photographers, including Richard Avedon and Walker Evans.
Death
While professionally continuing to thrive in the late 1960s, Arbus had some personal challenges. Her marriage ended in 1969, and she later struggled with depression. She committed suicide in her New York City apartment on July 26, 1971. Her work remains a subject of intense interest, and her life was the basis of the 2006 film Fur, starring Nicole Kidman as Arbus.”

Edward J. Kelty

Edward J. Kelty was an American photographer who was born in 1888.”

Reference: https://www.mutualart.com/Artist/Edward-J--Kelty/B5093BA36537181E/Biography

”Edward J. Kelty (1888-1967) moved to New York City following his service in the Navy during World War I, and opened up his first studio, Flashlight Photographers. Kelty was drawn to the circus and visited Coney Island often. In the summer of 1922, he transformed his truck into a mini studio, darkroom and living quarters, and traveled across America. His panoramic views captured the performers – human and animal – associated with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, Hagenbeck-Wallace, Sells-Floto, Clyde Beatty, Cole Bros. and other train, wagon and truck shows.
A typical day for Kelty would have him waking at dawn to set up cameras and tripods, gathering bearded ladies and sword swallowers, snake charmers and giants and shooting all morning. At times he had as many as 1,000 people in a picture. Afternoons were spent processing film and making proofs, taking orders and printing well into the night. The following day, he distributed prints, most often to circus staff and performers, before returning to his New York studio to work on his wedding and banquet photography business.
Kelty was hit hard by the Depression, and by 1942 had cashed in his glass plate negatives to settle a hefty bar tab. He moved to Chicago and, as legend has it, never took another photograph. His extant negatives eventually made their way into a Tennessee collection of circus memorabilia. Since Kelty used Nitrate-based film, which is unstable when improperly housed, the negatives self-destructed and were disposed of.
After Kelty died in 1967, his estranged family found no photographs, cameras or negatives among his belongings – just one old lens and a union concession employee ID card identifying him as a vendor at Chicago’s Wrigley Field. There was no evidence of the man who, along with his custom mammoth-size banquet camera and portable studio, documented America’s greatest traveling circuses.”

Edward Weston

“Edward Henry Weston (March 24, 1886 – January 1, 1958) was a 20th-century American photographer. He has been called "one of the most innovative and influential American photographers" and "one of the masters of 20th century photography." Over the course of his 40-year career Weston photographed an increasingly expansive set of subjects, including landscapes, still lifes, nudes, portraits, genre scenes and even whimsical parodies. It is said that he developed a "quintessentially American, and especially Californian, approach to modern photography" because of his focus on the people and places of the American West. In 1937 Weston was the first photographer to receive a Guggenheim Fellowship, and over the next two years he produced nearly 1,400 negatives using his 8 × 10 view camera. Some of his most famous photographs were taken of the trees and rocks at Point Lobos, California, near where he lived for many years.
Weston was born in Chicago and moved to California when he was 21. He knew he wanted to be a photographer from an early age, and initially his work was typical of the soft focus pictorialism that was popular at the time. Within a few years, however he abandoned that style and went on to be one of the foremost champions of highly detailed photographic images.
In 1947 he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and he soon stopped photographing. He spent the remaining ten years of his life overseeing the printing of more than 1,000 of his most famous images.”

Frank Rust

“Frank Rust was born in Whitechapel, East London and joined the Daily Mail aged 14 in 1918. He worked on the Mail, the Sunday Dispatch and the Weekend Mail magazine until his retirement in 1968.He was an innovator, helping to develop the “Wonder Rapid Sequence Camera” which took 20 photos a second, and inventing a quick developing process which was used in the Daily Mail ”photo car” – a converted van which housed a darkroom.Frank was churchwarden of St Paul’s Dock Street in Poplar, East London which no doubt led him to take the photo of Rev. Joe Williamson praying in Sander Street at the site of a house used by prostitutes.He was a staff photographer which meant he took photos of anything the paper required but he particularly seemed to have a talent for documentary style pictures as shown in his striking images of the Smithfield fire of 1958.Frank Rust died in 1991.”

Frederick W. Glasier

“Frederick W. Glasier was born in Adams, Massachusetts, in 1866, to middle-class parents — his father, a Civil War veteran, was employed in different aspects of the local textile industry. After early employment as a jeweler, Glasier moved to Brockton, south of Boston, at the age of 30, and two years later was listed in the city directory as a photo printer. His first dated and copyrighted pictures appeared the following year, and the year after that, 1900, he was listed in the directory as a photographer. What is recorded of Glasier’s subsequent career is if possible even sketchier. He published a souvenir guide to the town fair in 1905, and was intermittently listed in the directory as a publisher. In 1927 his wife issued a pamphlet describing the lantern-slide lecture series the two of them gave to church groups and the like. Glasier produced copyrighted images up to 1926 and dated ones up to 1934. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1950, at the age of 84. And that is virtually all we know aside from what can be inferred from the images themselves.

He seems to have traveled with the Barnum & Bailey Circus for a while, and maybe later with the Sparks Circus, and may have journeyed to the west, although certainly the better part of his photographs of Native Americans were taken in studio settings and could just as well have been made on the east coast. According to Ringling Museum curator Deborah Walk, Glasier affected the look of a westerner himself, sporting a Stetson hat, boots, a leather jacket, and whiskers in the Imperial style favored by Buffalo Bill, and adds that his equipment included an 8 x 10 King view camera with a Thornton-Pickard shutter. We can also suppose that in the years between and after his circus and wild west show engagements, Glasier worked as a typical studio photographer, producing images of weddings and christenings and graduations and store openings. Beyond the necessity of earning a living, his pride in his work constituted his only reward. He could barely aspire to recognition, let alone fame or the esteem of posterity.

And yet his photographs exude a kind of ambition that does not require outside endorsement. Glasier mastered a whole world, as if he were a novelist. Rather than specializing in a single means of approaching that world in his photographs, which is what might be expected of a photographer today, he adapted himself to the task at hand, perfecting different approaches for different aspects of the subject. Some of these approaches are obvious to the task of publicizing a show, and we have seen versions — lesser ones, generally — by other hands: the group portraits, the static demonstrations by acrobats and contortionists, the action shots of tightrope walkers and diving horses, the portraits of animal trainers with their animals, the panoramic renditions of the big top and of the circus parade. But then there are other, less obvious sorts of pictures, which seem less certain to have been dictated by a contract, particularly those which record the backstage activity. In those pictures Glasier seems almost to be functioning as a photojournalist, one who is assigned to cover a phenomenon by immersing himself in it and taking pictures ad lib — although the notion of the photojournalist lay some decades in the future, and is barely conceivable for someone operating a view camera making impressions on glass plates. It is clear, in any event, that Glasier’s mandate was broad and probably determined by himself, and that his range of methods and range of subjects complemented one another. While a certain amount of fluidity — rather than a personal style, rigidly defined or otherwise — was demanded from the commercial photographer of a century ago, Glasier’s mastery of each of the forms in which he worked was absolute, as if he became a different photographer for each mode he took on”

Gary Bart

“Originally from New York, Gary Bart founded Weight Watchers in Southern California at the age 21. Twenty-three years later, he sold the business and retired at age 44.

Wanting to make an investment in early photography coincided with his own unique research. His great-uncle was Zishe Breitbart, (a Modern Jewish Samson in pre-Nazi Germany) billed as “The Strongest Man in the World,” a celebrated circus and vaudeville performer in Europe and America. Fascinated with fact that a Jew could become world famous for his strength and not his intellect, Gary pursued a lifelong study of his ancestor’s life story. Hunting down photos and picture postcards of Breitbart led him to pictures of other strongmen, acrobats, and their peers. This path led him to further discoveries of rare and unique photographs encompassing all of the circus arts and its practitioners, among them including the earliest known photographs at a circus.

Gary produced the film Invincible based on Breitbart’s life, directed by Werner Herzog, named by Roger Ebert as one of his ten best films of 2002. He has also collaborated on publications regarding his great-uncle as well as museum exhibitions in Vienna and Berlin and is hard at work on forthcoming historical biography. Gary is retired, and lives in Los Angeles.”

Julio Amaral de Oliveira

“O jornalista Julio Amaral de Oliveira foi um dos poucos que se voltou para a pesquisa circense durante os anos 1970, época de declínio dos espetáculos de circo-família. Seu trabalho possui uma grande importância documental para a preservação da memória do circo pois resultou em uma ampla bibliografia e, principalmente, em registros fotográficos compondo um extenso acervo com retratos de palhaços, malabaristas, domadores, reportagens de jornal, esquetes, cartazes e material reproduzido a partir das coleções de diversas famílias circenses.

A partir de coleções de diversas famílias circenses, Julio Amaral reproduziu registros fotográficos que deram origem a um extenso acervo com retratos de palhaços, malabaristas, domadores, reportagens de jornal, esquetes, cartazes. Além disso, em 1971, o jornalista realizou também uma entrevista com os palhaços Arrelia, Chicharrão e Piolin que integra o projeto “Circo”, uma das primeiras pesquisas de documentação audiovisual e coleta de entrevistas que constituem o acervo do MIS.

Por meio desse material, é possível recuperar a trajetória de ícones da cultura circense, como por exemplo, Abelardo Pinto, o Palhaço Piolin.

Sendo uma das primeiras coleções do MIS, a Coleção Circo originou-se principalmente pela doação de Julio Amaral de Oliveira, e está em comodato desde 2013 com o Centro de Memória do Circo. O CEMIS executou um projeto de história oral em 1971, com os palhaços Arrelia, Chicharrão e Piolin. A entrevista e as imagens digitalizadas podem ser acessadas em acervo.mis-sp.org.br”

Palhaço Cadelac (João Francisco Silva)

“João Francisco Silva nasceu no Catende, Pernambuco, em 1921, fi lho de Maria Lopes da Silva e Francisco Antônio da Silva. Oriundo de família humilde, não imaginava que um dia viria a ser palhaço e que daria início a toda uma geração de artistas circenses”

”Em uma das viagens que realizou pelo interior do estado de Sergipe, João conheceu um pequeno circo cujo dono era o palhaço Tarugo. João estava com sua câmera “lambe-lambe” nas costas, passando em frente a este circo, quando foi abordado pelo dono. Interrogado se era “retratista”, ele respondeu que sim e que era “preto e branco”. Na década de 1950 as fotografias mais utilizadas pelos profissionais eram em preto e branco. As fotos eram muitas vezes coloridas manualmente após a revelação, por isso quando João mencionou ser retratista “preto e branco”, ele quis dizer que não utilizava nenhum recurso para colorir as fotos. O palhaço Tarugo ficou empolgado por haver encontrado um retratista para fotografar suas filhas, que também eram artistas, tendo assim a possibilidade de aumentar a renda do circo através da venda das fotos ao público que o frequentava. Assim, João foi bem recebido no meio circense por dominar a técnica da fotografia e poder registrar os artistas circenses, capturar suas imagens, eternizá-las e depois comercializá-las.

Com a arte da fotografia João inicia o registro da memória de pequenos circos e da sua própria família. A princípio este registro acontece através da imagem, mais tarde a partir de uma necessidade de um registro escrito, daquilo que era transmitido oralmente, e ele começa a reescrever peças e comédias. No final desta seção será abordado o registro escrito realizado por João. Ao se dirigir para o interior de Sergipe, João buscava o povo humilde, pensando assim em aumentar sua renda oferecendo seus serviços de fotógrafo, mas acabou encontrando o circo e então percebeu o quanto era mais rentável tirar fotos dos artistas para que estes as vendessem. Na sua primeira inserção no circo, tirou mais de 100 fotos e na mesma hora já revelou, recortou e as entregou. O dono do circo lhe disse que naquele momento não tinha dinheiro para lhe pagar, mas que assim que vendesse as fotos, pagaria aquelas e tiraria outras. João confiou, pois começou a ficar encantado com a arte circense que até então desconhecia.

Robert Capa

“Robert Capa, original name (Hungarian form) Friedmann Endre Ernő, (born 1913, Budapest, Hungary—died May 25, 1954, Thai Binh, Vietnam), photographer whose images of war made him one of the greatest photojournalists of the 20th century.

In 1931 and 1932 Capa worked for Dephot, a German picture agency, before establishing himself in Paris, where he assumed the name Robert Capa. He first achieved fame as a war correspondent in the Spanish Civil War. By 1936 his mature style fully emerged in grim, close-up views of death such as Loyalist Soldier, Spain. Such immediate images embodied Capa’s famous saying, “If your pictures aren’t good enough, then you aren’t close enough.” In World War II he covered much of the heaviest fighting in Africa, Sicily, and Italy for Life magazine, and his photographs of the Normandy Invasion became some of the most memorable of the war.

After being sworn in as a United States citizen in 1946, Capa in 1947 joined with the photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson and David (“Chim”) Seymour to found Magnum Photos, the first cooperative agency of international freelance photographers. Although he covered the fighting in Palestine in 1948, most of Capa’s time was spent guiding newer members of Magnum and selling their work. He served as the director of the Magnum office in Paris from 1950 to 1953. In 1954 Capa volunteered to photograph the French Indochina War for Life and was killed by a land mine while on assignment. His untimely death helped establish his posthumous reputation as a quintessentially fearless photojournalist. Publications featuring his photographs include Death in the Making (1937), Slightly Out of Focus (1947), Images of War (1964), Children of War, Children of Peace (1991), and Robert Capa: Photographs (1996).”

Renzo Gostoli

“Renzo Gostoli nasceu na Itália, mas foi para a Argentina ainda criança. Foi fotógrafo das principais agências internacionas na segunda metade do século XX e viajou por toda a América Latina documentando de maneira refinada os principais fatos históricos contemporâneos. Na década de 1980 redicou-se no Brasil onde continua a produzir uma vasta obra que passa pelas notícias mais importantes. Dirige a agência independente Austral Foto.”

Referência: https://colunadogilson.com.br/dias-das-linguas-europeias-celebrado-com-tres-mostras-fotograficas-em-niteroi/

”Renzo Gostoli começou a fotografar a trupe do Unicirco em julho de 2012. Inicialmente, o fotógrafo argentino pensava em passar um dia fotografando o grupo, mas acabou acompanhando por 10 meses a rotina de espetáculos e ensaios do grupo circense, com seus palhaços, equilibristas, trapezistas malabaristas e outros profissionais. Com cores vibrantes, as imagens que compõem a exposição documentam a magia milenar da arte circense.

“Me apaixonei pelas imagens, cores e alegria do espetáculo e também pela beleza e dedicação dos bastidores”, conta Renzo. “Também achei interessante o fato de o Unicirco ser também uma escola de circo para jovens de comunidades. Ali eles aprendem o ofício e se integram ao show.”

Residente no Rio há mais de 20 anos, Renzo Gostoli trabalhou primeiro no México e posteriormente no Brasil, para as agências de notícias France Presse (AFP), Reuters e Associated Press (AP), realizando cobertura fotográfica do noticiário internacional. No México, durante 10 anos, foi fotógrafo do Ballet Nacional do México. Atualmente, trabalha na agência Austral Foto, da qual é sócio. Suas fotos foram publicadas nas revistas “Time” (EUA), “Newsweek” (EUA), “Viva” (Argentina), “Annabelle” (Suíça) e “Schweizer Familie” (Suíça) e nos jornais “Clarín” (Argentina), “Der Tagesspiegel” (Alemanha), “Dagens Industri” (Suécia), entre outros.”

Paz Errázuriz

“Paz Errázuriz (born 2 February 1944 in Santiago, Chile) is a Chilean photographer. Errázuriz documented marginalized communities such as sex workers, psychiatric patients, and circus performers during the military dictatorship of Chile. Errázuriz's has said about her work: "They are topics that society doesn't look at, and my intention is to encourage people to dare to look." She was a teacher at a primary school when Augusto Pinochet overtook Chile's Presidential Palace in 1973, inspiring her to begin her photography career. She is the co-founder of the Association of Independent Photographers (AFI). Originally titled the "Asociación de Fotógrafos Independientes," she helped create the AFI in 1981 to make it easier for artists in Chile to find legal support and organize group art shows.

She is also a collaborator for the magazine Apsi and of diverse press agencies. She is known for her work in marginalized communities. Errázuriz goes on to say about her work: "...what I photograph has to do with people who are not at the center, who stand outside and have always been subordinated to power."Errázuriz began her career in the 1970s, and ever since she has been a voice for subordinate groups in society, more specifically, in Chile.

She was a primary school teacher at the time when she started her photography, and was slowly taking pictures "under the radar."

During his childhood, he spent several years in Mainz, Germany, where his father was garrisoned. It was in Mainz that he began taking photographs using a small camera given to him by his father. Later, he said that he had spent long hours in the shop of an old German photographer, and that is how he began to learn photography. While he lived in Germany he became interested in the circus. In the 1920s, German circuses such as Althoff were travelling across the country with large crews and many animals.After his Lycée years, he enrolled in the cavalry. In the army he spent most of his time training horses and riding in steeple chases and military cross. He participated to more than 500 races on various French and European race fields and sometimes won.In 1940, during World War II, he was captured in the Ardennes. After two unsuccessful escape attempts, he was sent to Colditz. In 1945, the United States Army set him free.

“

“I was born on February 23rd 1948. We were one of the first occupants of an estate of houses being built on Park Hill farm at East Moor on the edge of Wakefield. I was just a toddler and yet can remember a huge dusty barn where my father kept his car, there were hens everywhere running in and out of shafts of light radiating down from holes in the roof.”

Reference: https://www.peterlavery.com/fred-and-albert

”He started way back in 1968, and his pet subject has kept him engaged ever since. “I became fascinated by the world of circus, by the way of life and by the brutal beauty of the characters. It is a passion that has remained with me to this day,” explains Lavery.”

Weegee (Arthur Feeling)

“Weegee, byname of Arthur Fellig, original name Usher Fellig, (born June 12, 1899, Złoczew, Austria-Hungary [now in Poland]—died Dec. 26, 1968, New York, N.Y., U.S.), photojournalist noted for his gritty yet compassionate images of the aftermath of New York street crimes and disasters.

Weegee’s father, Bernard Fellig, immigrated to the United States in 1906 and was followed four years later by his wife and four children, including Usher, the second-born. At Ellis Island, Usher became Arthur. The boy dropped out of school in his early teens to help support the family. In 1923 he took a job in the darkroom of Acme Newspictures, where he was able occasionally to photograph at night. In addition to his work for Acme, he held a series of low-paying jobs until 1935, when he became a freelance photographer for a number of New York newspapers. Legend has it that his uncanny ability to appear with his camera at crime scenes as the police arrived—or sometimes even before—led to the moniker “Weegee,” a phonetic spelling of the first word in Ouija board, a device used in occultism to receive messages from the spirit world.

For much of his career, Weegee was, in his own words, “spellbound by the mystery of murder.” His images have the air of a still from a film noir, photographed as they were usually at night and often with infrared film and flash. He paid special attention to the expressions and gestures of his subjects, who for the most part came from the lower strata of New York society. His feelings about privileged New Yorkers were typified in a photograph entitled The Critic, in which an ill-clothed onlooker hisses at two bejeweled women attending the opera. In 1945 Naked City, the first of Weegee’s five books, was published; the title and film rights were later sold to a Hollywood producer.

From 1947 to 1952 Weegee lived in Hollywood, acting as technical advisor, playing bit parts in a few films, and photographing material that was published in 1953 as Naked Hollywood. By the time he returned to New York City, his most enduring work had been done. Upon his return he embarked on a series of photo distortions, but these caricatures of famous persons were not well-received. In 1961 his autobiography, Weegee by Weegee, was published. His uncanny ability to capture a dramatic segment of New York street life remains his most significant contribution to photography.”

Norma I. Quintana

“Norma I. Quintana is an American photographer and educator based in California. Born in Cleveland Ohio, she earned a Masters in Social Sciences from Case Western University and worked in human resources during her corporate career. Quintana began her career in documentary photography in the late 90s, attending Napa Valley College for a photography degree completed in 2001.
Quintana has also studied with such influential photographers as Mary Ellen Mark, Shelby Lee Adams, and Graciela Iturbide from Mexico. She works in the tradition of social documentary—primarily in black and white, analog photography. Collaboration is essential to her process. The images, Quintana insists, would not be possible without her subjects’ willingness to reveal themselves.

Her initial project documenting a one-ring American circus took her over a decade. Following the same group of tight-knit performers, she embedded herself behind the scenes. Images from her series Circus: A Traveling Life have been exhibited around the world and were published as a monograph by Damiani Editore and distributed by D.A.P. Artbook Catalog in 2014.

Quintana’s portrait series Forget Me Not is an archival project inspired by her family’s immigration from Puerto Rico. Based on photo-booth images she collected from relatives, she recreated the backdrop and wooden stand to capture a variety of characters in her community. The collection has traveled to Washington DC and Norma continues to develop the project with hopes of returning to Puerto Rico for more research.

Quintana's recent Forage From Fire series documents the excavation of objects and memories after California wildfires destroyed her home and studio. Documented with her iPhone X as she sifted through the ruins, the images of jewelry, camera bodies, Christmas ornaments, pendants, doll parts, kitchen tools and picture frames represent not only a collection of memories, but also a path to recovery.

Works from this series were exhibited in 2018 in a solo exhibition at SF Camerawork and included in group exhibitions in Sonoma and Napa, CA. Forage From Fire is currently included in the exhibition Facing Fire: Art, Wildfire, and the End of Nature in the New West originated at the California Museum of Photography and now traveling to St. George Art Museum, Utah; Jundt Art Museum, Gonzaga University, Washington; and Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art, Utah State University, Utah.
Quintana is a founding member of the Bay Area non-profit PhotoAlliance and has lectured nationally at Stanford University, UCLA, American University, Penn State University, NYC and internationally in Madrid, Spain”

An expatriate, Kubrick was nearly as well known for his reclusive lifestyle in the English countryside as for his painstaking approach to researching, writing, photographing, and editing his infrequent but always much-debated films.”
