Thank you for support, Have a great day!\n\nAlice Waters\nKensington, California, 2017\n\nPhotographing Alice Waters - Behind the scenes of ALICE WATERS | Vanity Fair\nAnnie photographed Alice Waters many times over the years, but she never felt that she had made a truly successful portrait. Alice is a pioneer of the farm-to-table food movement and a fellow MasterClass instructor. She has been photographed often in a garden, and Annie herself had photographed Alice in an apple orchard. This time she began thinking of Alice\u2019s emblematic status. Posters for the Victory Gardens of World Wars I and II were considered. \n\nAnnie also began looking at Julia Margaret Cameron\u2019s portraits of women and discovered that the one that seemed most like Alice was in fact Alice Liddell, the model for Alice\u2019s Adventures in Wonderland.The element that became most significant in the shoot was a peach. Alice had written about peaches in a recent memoir and peaches seemed to suggest her sensual qualities. Just the right peaches were obtained with some difficulty. \n\nThe shoot took place in Alice\u2019s front yard in Berkeley, California, with Edith Piaf singing in the background. The light that day was bright, but Annie tucked Alice into the shade of a bush. She held the peach. Annie edits the contact sheets for the entire shoot and pares them down. When she works with the technician on the computer she tries to emulate the color and light that she saw in person. She does not want to see the strobe. She tries to strike a balance of color and light to create the most natural-looking image. Editing the photo may never feel finished. Annie talks about there being another thing she might want to change, but she\u2019s not sure what that would be.\n\n\nCREDITS\n\u00a9 Jim Marshall Photography LLC\n    Photograph by Jacques Henri Lartigue\n\u00a9 Minist\u00e8re de la Culture - France \/ AAJHL\n\u00a9 Sally Mann.

Je vous propose ici une s\u00e9lection personnelle et argument\u00e9e des photographes iconiques \u00e0 explorer \u2014 des pionniers du noir et blanc aux inventeurs des nouveaux r\u00e9cits visuels.

Son impact se mesure \u00e0 la trace laiss\u00e9e sur l\u2019histoire de la photographie, l\u2019\u00e9volution d\u2019un genre (portrait, photo de mode, photographie de rue, reportage) ou sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 marquer la m\u00e9moire collective.

Son clich\u00e9 de John Lennon enlac\u00e9 \u00e0 Yoko Ono, pris le jour de l\u2019assassinat du musicien, reste un rep\u00e8re visuel fort. Elle ose la lumi\u00e8re crue, l\u2019\u00e9motion \u00e0 vif. S\u2019inspirer d\u2019elle, c\u2019est assumer la th\u00e9\u00e2tralit\u00e9 et la narration dans le portrait.Photographe c\u00e9l\u00e8bre 2 : Gregory CrewdsonGregory Crewdson (n\u00e9 en 1962) explore l\u2019\u00e9tranget\u00e9 du quotidien am\u00e9ricain \u00e0 travers des photos mises en sc\u00e8ne, proches du cin\u00e9ma. Sa s\u00e9rie Beneath the Roses (2003-2008) transforme des sc\u00e8nes banales en tableaux surr\u00e9alistes. Il ma\u00eetrise l\u2019\u00e9clairage comme sur un plateau de film, inspirant pour tout photographe cherchant \u00e0 raconter une histoire en une image.Photographe c\u00e9l\u00e8bre 3 : Richard AvedonRichard Avedon (1923-2004) a impos\u00e9 le minimalisme en studio et l\u2019intensit\u00e9 du regard dans ses portraits. Sa photo de Dovima et les \u00e9l\u00e9phants (1955) symbolise l\u2019\u00e9l\u00e9gance de la haute couture et la modernit\u00e9 du cadrage. Il inspire par sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 r\u00e9v\u00e9ler la personnalit\u00e9 du sujet, souvent en noir et blanc \u00e9pur\u00e9.Photographe c\u00e9l\u00e8bre 4 : Elliott ErwittElliott Erwitt (1928-2023) a su capter l\u2019humour et la po\u00e9sie de l\u2019instant dans la photographie de rue. Son regard tendre sur le quotidien, ses images de chiens et de passants sont devenus cultes. Il enseigne la patience et l\u2019art d\u2019anticiper la sc\u00e8ne d\u00e9cisive, un vrai mod\u00e8le pour les amateurs de street-photo.Photographe c\u00e9l\u00e8bre 5 : Vivian MaierVivian Maier (1926-2009), r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9e apr\u00e8s sa mort, a captur\u00e9 des milliers d\u2019instants de rue \u00e0 Chicago. Sa discr\u00e9tion et son regard curieux font de ses images des documents pr\u00e9cieux sur la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 urbaine am\u00e9ricaine. Un exemple parfait pour construire une s\u00e9rie coh\u00e9rente en photographie de rue.Photographe c\u00e9l\u00e8bre 6 : Irving PennIrving Penn (1917-2009) a marqu\u00e9 la photographie de mode avec ses compositions \u00e9pur\u00e9es pour Vogue. Il s\u2019est aussi illustr\u00e9 par ses portraits minimalistes et ses natures mortes.

Pour prolonger, d\u00e9couvrez la collection noir et blanc du site.Photographe c\u00e9l\u00e8bre 7 : Henri Cartier-BressonHenri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) a invent\u00e9 la notion \u00ab d\u2019instant d\u00e9cisif \u00bb. Fondateur de Magnum, il a parcouru la plan\u00e8te, du photojournalisme au portrait. Sa discr\u00e9tion, sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 se fondre dans la foule et \u00e0 anticiper l\u2019action restent une le\u00e7on pour tous les photographes de terrain.Photographe c\u00e9l\u00e8bre 8 : Cindy ShermanCindy Sherman (n\u00e9e en 1954) interroge l\u2019identit\u00e9 et le regard avec ses s\u00e9ries d\u2019autoportraits o\u00f9 elle incarne diff\u00e9rents r\u00f4les. Son travail a boulevers\u00e9 la repr\u00e9sentation du soi dans la photographie contemporaine. S\u2019inspirer de Sherman, c\u2019est exp\u00e9rimenter l\u2019autoportrait comme outil de questionnement.Photographe c\u00e9l\u00e8bre 9 : Helmut NewtonHelmut Newton (1920-2004) a marqu\u00e9 la photo de mode par son style provocant et \u00e9rotique, souvent en noir et blanc. Ses images puissantes pour Vogue ou Harper\u2019s Bazaar mettent en avant la force et l\u2019ambigu\u00eft\u00e9 des mod\u00e8les f\u00e9minins.
