Is artistic creativity passed down through generations of a family? How is style and wisdom garnered? How can a father and son collaborate to expand their work individually and as a team? These are just a few of the questions we posed to Moshe and Eddie Brakha, otherwise known as Brakha x2, during this weekโs episode of the B&H Photography Podcast.
Moshe Brakha likes to say that he was โborn in Israel and reborn in Hollywood,โ and
This is a fun conversationโvery informative, and gets the creative chemistries gellinโ. Our guest on todayโs episode of the B&H Photography Podcast is Rhiannon Adamย and, if there is anyone who knows more about instant film photography, I donโt want to meet them. Adam brings a wealth of researched knowledge about the history of the Polaroid company and also simple but effective techniques to improve your instant film photography practice
In September 2017, we dedicated an episode to a conversation about one photographโan image made by photographer Richard Drew, on September 11, 2001, in New York, which has come to be called โThe Falling Man.โ ย It was an insightful recollection and analysis of an incredibly painful image, and on todayโs episode of the B&H Photography
This is an encore presentation of an episode first published in November 2018. When we finished recording this episode, Jay Maisel asked us which podcast episode was our favorite. It didnโt take Allan a second to answer, โThis one!โ While we now have recorded more than three hundred, there is no doubt that this episode of the B&H Photography Podcast is very
Itโs worth the time to see the work of photographer Mandy Barker before listening to this episode. Take a glance at the B&H Photography Podcast homepage or Barkerโs website to get a sense of the simple but imaginative images she creates; it will certainly enrich the experience of hearing her speak about photographing plastic garbage, which is what she has found to be her calling.
Of course, weโre being a bit facetiousย but, as we discover
There are many talented people who work at B&H Photo, and the connections to photography and photo history run deep. We have welcomed many B&H staffersย to the B&H Photography Podcast over the years, and today we are particularly excited to speak with two members of our team on the B&H Explora blog.
We start our conversation with Howard Gotfryd, Senior Copy Editor at Explora, and learn about the incredible photography
We try to maintain a global perspective at the B&H Photography Podcast and speak with photographers from around the world, but we are New Yorkers at heart and itโs hard to deny the love we have for our city and its history. With that in mind, we are pleased to welcome photographers Anders Goldfarb and Larry Racioppo to the showโtwo
We split our time on this episode of the B&H Photography Podcast between one book and many books. In the first half of the show, we learn about an inspirational new book, Among Peers: The United States of Young Photographers, which profiles the work of student photographers from several workshop programs in the United States. We conclude the episode with
The title for this episode of the B&H Photography Podcast is taken from a comment made by guest Tonika Johnson, describing the moment she recognized the effect her work could have on citizens of her hometown of Chicago. Iโm certain that our other guests have had a similar moment when they see that their artistic work has gone beyond just the oohs and ahhs of aesthetes and afficionados and truly helps to educate and change the world
On todayโs episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, we are pleased to welcome Peter Cohen and Bill Shapiro to discuss โvernacularโ photography and the historical and cultural significance of snapshots and other images that fall outside the realms of fine-art and commercial photography.
Peter J. Cohen is recognized as one of the countryโs foremost collectors of vernacular photography and portions of his collections are now included in
We were expecting this episode to be a great one, and it did not disappoint. The B&H Photography Podcast team welcomes photographer Lester Sloan and his daughter, author Aisha Sabatini Sloan, to discuss their new book, Captioning the Archives: A Conversation in Photographs and Text. The book is a conversation about photography and photojournalism, but more a conversation between father and daughter, one
To create a โcollective portraitโ of any set of people is difficult, but to do so with twenty-five world-renown women artists is a monumental challengeโone that our guests have undertaken and, based on their wonderful book, Portrait of an Artist: Conversations with Trailblazing Creative Women, have accomplished. Equally as impressive is that the bookโs author, Hugo Huerta Marin, weaved a personal narrative into this series of interviews
On this weekโs episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, we welcome the founder and Executive Director of the Social Documentary Network, Glenn Ruga, and photographer Sofia Aldinio, who is the recipient of the 2021 ZEKE Award for Documentary Photography, presented by the Social Documentary Network.
As should be clear, our conversation today revolves around the Social Documentary Network
There is a vibrance, a joy, and a love for photography that one feels when speaking with Meryl Meisler. Itโs also very cool that by day she was a high school art teacher in Brooklyn and, by night, dancing and photographing at legendary clubs like Studio 54. Anyway, thatโs just how I see it. Of course, thereโs a lot more to Meislerโs photography than just 1970s disco and 1980s Bushwick, and we talk about a wide range of subjects on this episode of the
