Most photographers use the same approach to gain a "modern Look", and by doing so create a certain sameness in all the photographs. To set my work apart, I have for a long time emulated the hard lighting as used by Hurrell, for instance, in his still photographs of movie stars from the 20s, 30s and 40s. Similarly, I use often the posing and lighting of masters like Yousuf Karsh, for instance, for my portrait work. I have been quite successful with that. It definitely sets my work apart.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-49997827488758008062016-06-19T15:14:23.249-05:002016-06-19T15:14:23.249-05:00It looks like a paradox but, in my opinion, photog...It looks like a paradox but, in my opinion, photographers of today should go back to masterpieces of “old” photography like these, to learn a lot and especially to find a new, stronger motivation and enthusiasm for the practice of this great art.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-89183927605895575722016-06-19T15:13:37.573-05:002016-06-19T15:13:37.573-05:00Thank you very much.

However, I am quite sure that the picture of the little boy climbing the steps and the one with the broken doll were taken with Leica cameras, most likely the Leica III that my dad gave me for my fifth birthday. By the way, the little boy is me.<br />The picture below the one with the broken doll is of my mother. It was taken with a 9x12cm (4x5 inch) camera using a paper negative. At the time, film material was quite scarce and my dad often used single weight photographic paper to make paper negatives instead.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-301562083736358232016-06-19T15:07:05.181-05:002016-06-19T15:07:05.181-05:00Great post.
