Cameras in music videos … Leica × Sol

By in Music, Photography, Video

Unlike previous episodes of Cameras in Music Videos, the Leica M7 in this video looks more like product placement than just a prop.

Anyway, Sol does his thing, and the M7 definitely is ‘This Sh#t’.

Pieter Hugo

By in Music, Photography, Video

The other day I came across a photograph on flickr depicting a barefooded man in black suit and tie, standing like he had just ripped a cow’s throat out.
The person who had posted this image was not the photographer, but was kind enough to mention the name ‘Pieter Hugo’.
I immediately had to find out who was behind this name, and as I dug into the internet, I was amazed.

Have a look for yourself … And oh yeah, check out www.pieterhugo.com

Outposts: Donovan Wylie

By in Photography, Video

Outposts: Donovan Wylie from National Media Museum on Vimeo.

Building upon his previous projects – Maze and British Watchtowers – Wylie’s new work continues to interrogate the architecture of conflict, and derives from the idea of vision and power. Wylie was recently embedded with Canadian troops in Afghanistan’s Kandahar province. From here he surveyed the military outposts which commanded multiple lines of sight, with dominance over vast swathes of land.

Cameras in music videos … Polaroid × Michael Jackson

By in Music, Photography, Video

In 1983 Michael Jackson escaped the lense of a Polaroid Autofocus 660 in the video for Billie Jean.

Surrounding the Polaroid is what appears to me as a bunch of Mamiya Z-series cameras, but what’s more important: Is that a (Dirty) Diana I see there in the upper left corner?! Your expertise is required.
