“I try not to make conscious decisions about what I am looking for. I don’t make elaborate preparation before I go to a location. Essentially I walk, explore, discover and photograph.“

~Michael Kenna 

ENQUIRE

"While walking along a dark, murky salt marsh, I photographed a hunting pelican in fading daylight. The scene reminded me of a Dutch still life. The dark water and dim side light created a chiaroscuro effect. I have lived in Miami for seven years, but the abundant wildlife here does not get old. Occasionally, pelicans land right next to you if you are in the ocean, and small fishes try to hide under your body."

~ Anastasia Samoylova

“He was not bone and feather but a perfect idea of freedom and flight, limited by nothing at all”

~ Richard Bach
(Jonathan Livingston Seagull)

“Solitary wanderings, eyes always peeled. As evening approaches, I wonder what meaning could be given to those encounters. Doubt often hovers nearby, but I photograph the way a musician hums. Looking is like breathing. So when luck offers me a good picture, joy is surely not far away”

ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK

“When I'm taking pictures I even forget that I have a camera. When I shoot I forget about everything. Light comes, death comes, people go in and out in costume—and it's like a play.”

 

~ Graciela Iturbide

Photo Basel Switzerland’s first and only international art fair dedicated to photography based art, now in its 8th edition, is open!

The fair takes place during Art Basel week from June 12^th – 18^th  at Volkshaus Basel, just a short walk from Art Basel at the convention centre.

"I see these hand treated palm sized prints as a continuation of not only that adoration, but as a collection of moments. Moments that one may overlook but I want to make them feel big and significant. And things, physical or otherwise, do not have to be vast or demonstrative to have great meaning and relevance."

 

-Ernesto Esquer

"Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
As the images unwind, like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind!"

~ from 'The Windmills of your Mind' (1968)
First recorded by Noel Harrison
Lyrics written by Alan & Marilyn Bergman
with music composed by Michel Legrand

“Everything inside the frame is equally important”

~ Pentti Sammallahti

“I remember how I loved to walk through the fair as a little kid and look at all these rare birds that I knew I would never see alive. Years and years had passed since I thought about those birds, and I really wanted to photograph them.”
