Gracias por tu observación, Isaac. Estoy cada vez mas convencido de pasar a Zeiss. Pero no por eso voy a ser el nuevo Richard Avedon. Ojalá. Agradezco ver que alguien piensa como yo, no sé si me caerá la del pulpo, el mundo del elefantismo o el zoológico entero… pero mira:
“For those who don’t know, Irving Penn is an American photographer whose mainly known for his fashion photography. He is also known for being one the first photographers to have his subjects photographed on a simple grey or white backdrop — putting great emphasis (as well as highlighting) the subject. Aside from his work for Vogue, Irving Penn’s work mainly features portraits of creative giants, various ethnic people from around the world, and nudes. He also did modernist, still-life photographs of food, bottles, and various found objects.” “Photography is never about the expensive camera and lighting equipment Despite having the luxury of being able to use a Rolleiflex and a Leica, Irving Penn eventually shifted to a Nikon system after being a long-time user of a Leica. Penn is also known to heavily prefer natural lighting to the point that he had to build himself a set of tungsten lights just to stimulate a skylight in his windowless studio. In this generation, many photographers—students and hobbyists alike—are often quick to compare camera gear (Which has the most pixels? Better noise reduction systems?). Some have this notion that to get a great photograph, one has to have the most expensive camera gear money can buy. Using simple equipment and daylight alone is for me a pleasure and a replenishment.
