U.S. The legendary Magnum Photos agency has represented and still represents some of the greatest photographers in history, and no doubt that Georgi Pinkhassov (Moscow, 1952) is a special member of this select group.
The master of form and rhythm in color and author of works such delicate and enigmatic as Sightwalk "we visit this time to mark a special workshop conducted in BlankPaper School, and where we explain the importance of the famous phrase of Henri-Cartier Bresson about what it means to the picture, "Hands, eyes, heart ... The eye takes a decision, as taste. Hands are crafts, technical ability is rooted in photography and art. The heart, somewhat elusive, inexplicable and intimate, and yet universal - the creative spirit - ".
Pinkhassov, for whom a camera is like a gun that sometimes, as in Russian roulette, with precision hits sudden and unexpected, will show us why we should flee imitation, which leads to servility and compliance. In the words of the cult Russian film, Tarkovsky - with whom he worked as a photographer in his most famous films, Stalker Zerkalo - "If you see that start to imitate you, change your style."
The workshop was complemented by a viewing of portfolios for students wishing to show their work. Workshop in Russian with translation into Castilian.
