Review: Polaroids by Sibylle Bergemann

Review: Polaroids by Sibylle Bergemann | Photography Now | Scoop.it

The New Photographic Other

Here is a crazy (or maybe not so crazy) thought I had the other day, sitting in a crit, listening to somebody talking about "the other": As photographers, we love to think of ourselves as being incredibly aware of that problem.

La série de Taysir Batniji, artiste né à Gaza, vivant aujourd’hui à Paris, reprend aussi de manière apparemment littérale celle des Allemands Bernd et Hilla Becher, qui avaient répertorié les bâtiments industriels (châteaux d’eau, usines, hauts-fourneaux), post révolution industrielle.

The Tonal Merger

The Tonal Merger | Photography Now | Scoop.it
Just a small point of black-and-white technique in passing: this shot is an excellent example of what's called a "tonal merger." If you look carefully, you can see that the cat in fact has an intact left ear.
