Like Wal Mart, or Target, Getty works for Getty and no one else. They are not around to help this and that photographer, or collection. They are not around to help the MLB or NHL or Soccer league succeed in their photography needs but the opposite. All images providers to Getty are in to make Getty succeed.
Whether photographing a shoe factory in China, a rock quarry in Portugal or a copper mine in Chile, Edward Burtynsky creates images that use scale to consider the magnitude of human industry and its impact on the landscape. “To me, what’s interesting as art is to begin to define that theater of industry that is almost beyond our imagination,” Burtynsky says.

In 2010, I will be teaching one week workshops on street photography in many of the world’s most visually exciting cities and regions: Buenos Aires, Rio, Seville, Paris, Istanbul, New York, Provence, and Calcutta. These workshops should be a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in creating a photo essay or portfolio around themes of life of an amazing city. All of my workshops embrace a philosophy of keeping one’s heart and eyes open to the potential of “decisive moments” of daily life present in the streets and culture of the world’s great cities. Much attention and discussion is offered to help students develop camera technique at the service of making spontaneous and powerful images while developing their personal vision. The workshops help students overcome anxiety and nervousness they may have photographing people.
Please take a look below at the dates and locations of each workshop. Course descriptions and registration information accompany each course title and date. Please feel free to forward this information to any of your friends, family, or associates who might be interested in knowing about these exciting workshops. Wishing you very wonderful holidays. Warm regards, Peter.
I think this must be my newspaper recovery phase. I feel over-indulgent and greedy in photographing these feature stories just cuz. Just cuz I’m intrigued. This world is so huge and so full of intrigue. I got to shoot so many things that interested me as a staff photographer but so much of it was just filler and important projects never got the space they deserved.
Lyon is a journalist, but not by the usual ’90s definition. Whether he was photographing the Civil Rights Movement in the American South in the ’60s or the guerrilla uprising in Mexico in the ’90s, his journalism is not about the surface, the sensational, the soundbite; it is imbued with his respect for the people he photographs, and with the commitment and responsibility this respect entails. Now, in his collages, Lyon has come up with an emotional kind of journalism exploring classes and cultures and the options that people are allowed. Claiming the same credibility for his personal images as for his more conventional documentary pictures, he has made some of his most political and most moving work to date.
