By distilling his love of nature into a luminous painting of brilliant, saturated color that transcends conventional landscape and wildlife art, Baumann has captured the hearts and imaginations of a generation.

Today was fun. I had Lisa Danielle on and we've been trying to arrange a podcast for about three years. One day and she's down here in Tucson and she came in and we just had a great talk. 

I've represented Lisa for almost 20 years or maybe even a little bit longer... but we've never had an in-depth conversation about her backstory. You see, that's one of the beautiful things about this podcast, is that through interviewing these individuals, I get a deeper sense of who the person is and why they do what they do. All too often there's this storyline that isn't all peaches and cream.

It's incredibly difficult to get to the point of being able to make a living as an artist. Lisa even speaks about times where she couldn't get things sold and she's having to work at a nursing home. At the end of the day that's what you do if you really want to be an artist. You absolutely must be willing to put yourself in those positions to allow you to continue to create art.

Lisa Danielle is one of those people that did it. So, it's a fascinating interview. In fact, it went for over 2 hours and it was like a time warp because I didn't even realize it had gone that long, which is always wonderful. So this will be a two-parter and this is part two of Lisa Danielle on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 222.

Panic and Sarah listened to the current project created by Kim Namjoon, aka RM from BTS. His recently released solo album, INDIGO, is an amazing 'rkive' and journey, so sit back, relax, and enjoy his music journal.

 « Ces images sont des mensonges. Quel crédit peut-on encore accorder au principe photographique qui veut qu’une image soit fidèle au réel ?  Notre perception balance entre l’impression de réalité, l’illusion et son interprétation. » Voici le texte de description du projet de diplôme de Charles Negre, photographe de nature morte et de studio, réalisé il y a plus de 10 ans. Une intrigante entrée en matière, qui résonne parfaitement avec les questions que je désire lui poser, et ce depuis longtemps. 

Le rendez-vous est donné au Studiolo, une galerie et bureau partagé en plein quartier de Belleville, à Paris. J’arrive à bout de souffle, après avoir gravi à vélo les routes pentues du 20e. « Je déménage, il n’y aura aucune photo sur place ». Charles m’avait bien prévenu, le lieu est vide. Un fort écho se fait entendre, les conditions ne sont pas idéales pour l’enregistrement d’un podcast. Les cheveux mi-longs, gominés et plaqués à l’arrière, Charles s’installe rapidement en face de moi, dans cet espace en transition. L’enregistrement peut commencer.

Is artistic creativity passed down through generations of a family? How is style and wisdom garnered? How can a father and son collaborate to grow 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 week’s episode of the B&H Photography Podcast.

Moshe Brakha likes to say that he was “born in Israel and reborn in Hollywood,” and both his early music and celebrity portraiture, as well as his later advertising and editorial work, sure have the vibe of Tinseltown. The elder Brakha built a thriving photography practice that includes not only portrait work but also high-profile advertising campaigns such as those for SKYY Vodka, Martini & Rossi, and Motorola. Eddie Brakha began collaborating with his father after graduating from film school and has expanded their work with new ad campaigns and fine-art series. They have also directed music videos, public service announcements, and “motion” campaigns for Dockers, Sharper Image, and others.

The style of the Brakhas’ work is very distinctive, but individually and as a team, they continue to experiment and try new methods. As such, we discuss how to evolve creatively when your style is successful. We also learn about their working relationship, which talents each brings to the table, and how clients and subjects react to having them both on set. Finally, we talk about their incredible lighting schemes, Moshe’s retrospective at the Grammy Museum, Eddie’s film project, and always being prepared before you go on set. Join us for this enjoyable conversation.

« Nature inanimée », écrivait Diderot. Mais quoi de plus étrange que de qualifier de « nature morte » la représentation d’objets du quotidien, de fleurs, de fruits et d’animaux, tout ce qui a à voir avec les sens, le plaisir, la vie même…

Dans ce format Épisode enregistré à la Galerie Huit à Arles, nous accueillons comme toujours plusieurs invité(e)s. Pour cet épisode, nous avons plaisir de recevoir Cédric Porchez et Mathilde Hiley, tous deux photographes de nature morte. Cédric travaille depuis plus de 30 ans, Mathilde fait partie de cette génération de photographes expérimentant de nouvelles facettes de ce genre photographique. Deux approches et regards, qui parfois concordent. 

Ce terme a été forgé au milieu du 18e siècle au moment où se déployait la peinture de Chardin. Autour de 1650, c’est aux Pays-Bas que les peintres hollandais, dans leurs ateliers, évoquent le still-leven, littéralement « nature immobile » ou « nature posant comme un modèle ». De là sont issus l’allemand Stilleben et l’anglais still-life, où s’ajoute à la notion d’absence de mouvement, celle d’une « vie silencieuse. » 

Évidemment, vous écoutez un podcast sur la photographie, nous parlons donc de la nature morte par le biais de ce médium et de son évolution au cours des dernières années. Entre héritage des beaux-arts et statut d’image publicitaire et corporate, la nature morte est en réalité riche et englobe plusieurs démarches et visions.

Aujourd’hui, beaucoup de jeunes photographes sortant d’école se prêtent au jeu. Ce sont des photographies qui nécessitent en tout cas une formation technique avancée, une connaissance et un attrait pour la composition, la lumière, le décor, les couleurs… Elles se réalisent également souvent sur un temps long, donc la nature fait appel logiquement à la patience et à une certaine forme de dévouement. Excellente écoute !
