We studied HCB in photography school and his brilliant legacy. I enjoy seeing these images and reviewing strategies he used in depicting industrial photography in his time. So different than the industrial photography i am asked to do. His photojournalistic approach capturing the moment is different than my era of setting up lighting and manipulating the scene. I think the photojournalistic approach is much more difficult to capture perfect moments than posing people, etc. like i do. That of course, is me assuming he never posed his subjects vs capturing the moment as it happened. Then one of the last photos is cool as it looks like two of his subjects are on break and looking at smartphones.
that's exactly what they are doing and the photo wasn't stage, i manage to capture it while passing the scene. somehow i consider myself lucky as (up to now anyway) my industrial photography is done in a journalistic/documentary way. i never brought a set of lights nor staged any of my industrial shots and i think that's much easier. the hardest part is getting/obtaining access but that's a different story.
The photo of a worker and female supervisor is one of my favourite HCB images. It has so many stories within it.
It’s a great photo, yes. There’s some flirting going on there as well 😜
So interesting, thanks for sharing
The combo of yours, Andrew’s, and Neil’s writing has me in the beginnings of an obsession I can feel it
you're hooked already 😁
wait until you get that lovely camera into your hands and you'll see magic happens
The magic is your text and the knowledge behind. Thanks for sharing!
