That means that the people in the fashionindustry are eager to have his work with their name on it. ruud.
The photographs used in the magzines show more style than the ones on his website, i too have a lot of magazines with him or his work in it, the I-D, The Face, Neo2 etc.
As i said, he is very contemporary, delivering what people want from this time.
And he does it all with the most simple camera's with no focus system but just the autofocus or what they have, so you see through the viewfinder and cant change a thing about it.
I didnt think about the copyright, thanks for telling me wen! Best is to go into a bookstore and look into magazines like I-D, Blend, or whatever fashion mag and you will be sure to find his work.
I Hope that you all will come to respect eachother, so we can enjoy the community once again. its been quiet long enough.
The peak was really when i made the thread Where in the world is god, because all these people hidden on FC came out to say something, and now its pretty flat..
once again. its not the equipment being used. its the person who has it in hands, and has the right brainwaves to see and click at the right moment :)
Cheers

@ Dennis ... I am grateful for your gracious response and for taking my post, in the spirit of discussion, as it was mean't and for not reacting in a negative way as some others always seem to do. I would love to have continued the friendly chat with you, as you seem able to do also, but I am going to have to withdraw, as per admin guidelines, from this thread as some people are unable to have friendly conversations with people of differing opinions. Regards, Paul. Please feel free to send me any links via QM Dennis.
P.S. (NOT to Dennis)
Gang up/tag team ... translation seems to be ... two people disagreeing with you. And as for being sick of it happening - when EXACTLY did it last happen? Answer - so long ago that I can't remember and certainly last year as we are now advised to withdraw and leave only one CM on the thread when a disagreement arises - and this has occurred, so unfortunately I am withdrawing from this thread.
WITHDRAWN

Dennis,
I reacted to the work i saw on Richardsons site, and you know how i feel about that. His other work i have never seen, and if i happen to come across it i will let you know if i change my opinion ! 8-)
Further i will also withdraw, as i feel that anything i say will anyhow not be to the liking of others.

Ansel Adams once said most people

My biggest respect to this wonderful words of Ansel Adams.
Esti Etni
I noticed one good thing based on my pictures. Many times when i had small soap-pocket camera pictures were much more interesting then now, when i have also film but with auto focus and etc. additions. Now i have so many ideas that i cant concentrate what to do - what realize and does anybody to need all this except of me..
I rather think that most important to have two or three very good lenses instead of expensive (good) camera.

Esti, if you feel that you are able to take a good photo you will need a good camera. And all the people here talking about taking good photos with shitty cameras are being a bit hypocritical. Simply check out their profiles and see what kind of cameras they use. I don't know a single surgeon that would prefer to operate his patience with a rusty rotten tools, even if he is a bad surgeon ;-) All I can tell you is that you should spend as much money as you can afford and also estimate if your camera will "pay for itself", especially if you are going to earn money with it as a photographer. And I can also say that when you take photos with a film camera after the moment you pushed the button all the work will be done by specialist at your photolab. But when you own a digital cam you have to be familiar with certain software and do a lot of adjustment after all. Good luck!
A while ago there was a report of contemporary art on TV. Among other things the following:
A chimpanzee was equipped with a few buckets full of different colored paints, a bulky brush and a huge canvas. The cute little guy eagerly brushed along and when his splashing was done, his final work was put on display at a noble Vernisage of different no-name artists. Interviewed visitors and admirers of the exhibition, (all of them self-appointed fine-art experts and quite a number of celebrities) have not been told about the source of the painting but were asked what the artist might have intended to associate and express with his work and how much they would estimate the value of the painting. An additional but discrete hint was given that some renowned … blah blah blah.
However, all Germany is still laughing about the answers.
Esti, what I intended to say is, don’t care so much what the “artists” say (I apologize dear artists!) just go with what pleases you and keep on posting your wonderful images. I’m a silly flower-, bee- and beetle-shooter myself, but let me tell you that it’s much harder to get a stupid flower straight than calling a fuzzy photo ART. - Of course, there’s always two eventualities, you can learn it the hard way, as suggested - or you can upgrade your equipment in order to receive a precious and instant support on your way towards better results.
I didn’t get the impression of you wanting to go ART or Hollywood, do you? So if I got your point right, YES, equipment matters A LOT!!!!
Here on fc are loads of damn good photographers, Esti - Paul Grimshaw (as my idol and to name him first), Ruud, Vladimir (as my favourite foe :-))) - but a hell of a photographer) --just to name a few of them. Esti, they came a long way… and they do take photography very seriously. Too late for you and me to catch that train… ;-)
As I already said before, keep your wonderful shots coming dear Esti - and go for some camera (and lens-) upgrade. - it'll pay. My two pennies…

I believe good camera is an added value, but The Man Behind The Gun also an important point...

well...i have a very good digi-slr...and ime glad i have it.
all other cameras i had so far were restrictive to me and didnt gave me so many possibilities like the one i have.
for the kind of photography ime doing its the best i can imagine. and that is the point. everyone should use the camera that fixes to his kind of photography, but it must left room to develop skills. many consumer-cameras dont have that room...
and...
a camera can be inspirative to someone...see the comments here bout pinholes or have a look at people working with lomos and stuff like that...
and...
its not only(!!!) the photographer that makes the picture...its the light!!! to think, its the photographer is a same illusion to think a photography can show reality...it wont..never...
the photographer catches only the light and the camera is the only instrument he has to catch it!:)
so its not so unimportant like many want to tell...
(i suggest some of the people always telling how unimportant it is would like to have a better or bigger baby, but for some reasons they cant have it - mostly not enough money...)
only my oppinion...
best regards

Hi,
I just joined this site this morning. I like your comment alot. Seems like you know quite alot about photography. I do alot of creative stuff...i'm very dissalusioned though, because my work has all been done on 35mm over the years. I scanned the negatives. I even cropped a few, so the resolution really really bothers me alot. They all look fine on the computer screen, but if it ever came to printing them..say for someone, such as a gallery,etc..i'd be in trouble. Hope to converse with you more on the creative aspects of photography.

you have to READ your manual and confidure your scanning resolution to a hiigher dpi setting. if you want to reproduce them for printing in high quality, then you need a dpi resolution of over 150dpi or as high as 300dpi. this is what happens when you see the image good on the screen but if you were to print it, oh well, no quality there!! also, printing at home on good paper isnt the only fix - you must confisgure your printing preferences for the type of paper you'll print on, what surface it has (glossy or matte, etc), and how to lay down the ink.
you can get quality foto-quality prints at home - you just need to know how to scan and how to print - coRRectly!! hope this helps!!

You can't expect great music with a cheap piano and that goes with any instrument. I don't have a really good camera, but I've taken some pretty good photos with it. I think it depends on the type of photo. Artsy...you can get away with alot. If it's portraiture in a studio, then you really need expensive cameras and lenses. Let be realistic about it!

I have always said upgrade not the camera but the Lens ( canon L-lens )that is first thing!as it makes hell of a differance to a photo as we all want a good quality photo !after say all this i have also upgaded my camera after buying L-lens and it is a canon 5d which is a 12-7 mega pixel camera but that also will make a very big differance not just for enlagments but you can crop a 1/4 or less and when enlaged say 5 by 7 you will still get a nice detail photo ,so i would say they can be both be important for quality of a photo but the camera uprade can also make a differance so i would say upgade lens first the you will have good lens fot the next upgrade,Camera !
i always believe that "man behind the gun" is very important than everything!
