1.1 For Task 1 we had to shoot
some photos showing the Bokeh Effect and choose the same from famous
photographers, in my case I choose my 3 favourites ones.
Horacio Coppola (31 July 1906 –
18 June 2012) was an Argentine photographer and
filmmaker, and the husband of the German photographer Grete Stern. He was one of
the pioneers photographers from Argentina and a key figure in Modernism. One of
the main reasons I choose him is because I was fortunate enough to see an
exhibition of his work when I went to Argentina and it was exquisite.
1. La Recova (1936)
2. Calle Florida (1936)
3. Escaleras en Calle Corrientes( 1928)
Robert Capa (born Endre Ernő Friedmann;October
22, 1913 – May 25, 1954) was a Hungarian-American war photographer and photojournalist as
well as the companion and professional partner of photographer Gerda Taro. He is
considered by some to be the greatest combat and adventure photographer in
history.
1. Woman runs away from the Bombs (Barcelona 1939)
2. Loyalist Militiaman at the moment of Death (1936)
3. The Magnificent Eleven ( June 1944)
Gerta
Pohorylle (1 August 1910 –
26 July 1937), known professionally as Gerda Taro, was a
German Jewish war photographer active during the Spanish Civil War. She
is regarded as the first woman photojournalist to have died while covering the
frontline in a war.
1. Refugee girl (Barcelona 1939)
2. Republican Militiawoman (Barcelona 1939)
3. Republicans next to Nationalist slogans (Brunete 1937)
The three of them used Leica cameras and even
that they lived in the same period of time their photographies could not be
more different. While I loved the work of Coppola showing the "Daily
Argentina" style, I growed exposed to Capa and Taro work as they recorded
the history of my family's country. I admired their work and how they
where commited to it to the point that both died during wars doing what they
loved.
I really enjoyed this task, looking for their
photos and learning their history.
