Speaking of the great masters of the black-and-white photo, the other day, thisblogIn that was introduced photographer,Sebastian SalgadoPeople to remember Mr. might be many. Him even serving their masters, but so was already break with silver-halide film, and the transition to shooting with a digital camera. Strengthening of the X-ray inspection, and the like in one to 9.11 after the airport for the big reason. Much trouble, If yours is one of the photosensitive through the X-ray was taken in various parts of the world film, That's not a photo only, it will be in your head it becomes white. If of course by the application procedure, but it is also possible to avoid the X-ray inspection, for the photo journalist to travel to often all over the world, to say that those very troublesome. Well 9.11, but is said to have changed the world, it seems to have become a major turning point also for photographers. That said, there Mr. Salgado, the width of the gradation from black silver salt photography to white, repeated studies how can be reproduced by digital photography, once raised on the negative film images taken with a digital At present, it it seems to incorporate the technique of "semi-digital semi-analog" of the print (in of course the process of, but there should be a variety of trade secrets ...).

In this way the photographer with the development and decline of the camera and film, we must find a new attempt and representation method. A few days ago, Shibuya Shoto retrospective was viewing at the museum - I felt something similar to "Yasuzo Nojima portrait core exhibition of". In the case of Mr. Salgado, while you are focused the goodness of the analog had been lost in the digital rise to how you can maintain a digital photo, Nojima said with the advancement of printing technology, of his own photographic expression itself it can be said that the larger one of the go photographers that changed. Just 120 years ago, Mr. Yasuzo Nojima was born in 1889, applied to the 20's from student days, repeated negative photosensitive liquid to the coated paper, repeating the exposure of multiple works by "rubber printing process." many have announced. Such as "portrait", "Nude Painting", "landscape", "Still Life", but was almost called from the composition and representation methods, such as painting and pictorialism (painting principle photo), in such a background, "rubber printing process "by not clear ones, such as the print is" silver ", it is large was close to drawing that was drawn in charcoal and pencil. So to speak, what representation to complement its full print technology, it may be said that it was pictorialism. Then, using the ready-made photographic paper "bromoil process", by the time the further he goes forties, appeared domestic manufacturers to commercialize the silver halide film. Along with it, Nojima Mr. transition to silver halide film, a conventional pictorialism to "portrait" is "portrait", "Nude image" in some of the movement more freely is photographic expression to the "nude" go undergone a change. If, if Mr. Nojima was alive, what I look at now of digital photos. And, I wonder have been challenged in any photographic expression. For, such a thought has crossed.

Retrospective to follow in the footsteps of Yasuzo Nojima, "the heart of the Portrait Exhibition" until November 15 (Sunday), it has been held at the Museum of Art Shoto Shibuya. Photos feel the rustic somewhere warmth of the "rubber print" is, what is true contrary to the digital photos that refined sharp. Everyone now has become possible to decent photography, than what is complete without a chance is what our ask, you might rather incomplete taste is.Bunkamuraof"Lautrec ExhibitionThe folding that visited the "Why not try to stretch a little leg up to Shoto.
