References ?
It’s a question I have been thinking about, because lately I’m not looking at other photographers work a lot. I started last week answering this question and came up with some old and dusty references. Masters photographers, extremely good, entire body of work that put humanity on its knees… but I felt like I wanted to share more modern visions.
Here we go for the first one: Dmitry Markov
This work is about daily life in Russia. It’s simple, efficient, strong & full of humanity.
Here is another one
DEVIN ALLEN
I saw that cover the day it was published, and I heard that the photo editors found that photography on a social network online during the protest in Baltimore in 2015. Davin said he was an amateur photographer.
For me the work of Devin Allen echoes to the one of Gordon Parks. He is - with his phone, the voice of the voiceless to quote the band I love Rage Against the Machine.
Next: Boogie
I just bought his book. Confident images, straight on text. Excellent work, no bullshit. Boogie rocks.
Finishing it with Rimaldas Viksraitis
Extremely provocative. I love it and I just feel like the world needs more of that. Somehow.
Thank you for reading, I hope you liked these references of work
