Request For Money On Invitation

"I am neither a professor, not a showman." That was the workshop with Georgy Pinkhassov

Gueorgui Pinkhassov well presented. We soon discovered that
is like a small child, unable of standing, extremely curious and
possessing great humility and generosity.

His workshop was a mix of reflections on photography,
life, harmony and art.
began telling how he started in photography, with nice anecdotes.
As the episode of his childhood in which the head of the school
entered his room asking if anyone knew how to be
photos outside on a picnic and photography. A fellow
raised his hand and the director told him "you can do photos, go to
them. You are free to leave. " This is stuck with the
Georgi head. As that the passage of black and white to color, which is produced by

coincidences of life that make you change course.

Thus, for Pinkhassov photography was a way to
free and able to satisfy their curiosity. A photographer must be
restless, curious, sparse and open to all.

"A photographer must be a bad student, sometimes it's good to be
concentrate for work, but I prefer to decentralize know."

also told us how important it is to have motivation and energy
to work, is when you make the best pictures, not being tired
. He told us the things that motivated him to make his photographs: the sun, love,
creative challenges and harmony.

When he was in Tokyo working
explained how his colleagues were out all day taking photos. He instead went to
gym, showered and left a few hours to photograph, but
was focused and knew where I wanted to go to get their
photographs. Finally, after several turns curious, those pictures
formed Sightwalk work.

always bet by chance, intuition and instincts.
well as to develop a visual sense.
feel the harmony of the world and not think about it. Taking photos of an almost irrational
trust and let go by chance. When editing
come into play is when your part rational and cultural
.



"Any photo will be successful when this is a surprise," Georgy

described us photography as a mixture of program + material. The program
is why we carry in our software that we have to feed
. The materials are the bricks with which we can build
the world in which we operate.

For him, his photographs have no formula for when
know very well what you want, you have fallen into a trap and
have to start again. What we seek is often difficult to find, but it is difficult to know
be open and able to react to surprises.
not expect anything, but always be prepared.

During the four-day workshop, also spoke to us Pushkin,
Tarkovsky Kalatozov, Picasso, Brueghel.

portfolios in the viewing was very generous and encouraging, but
without losing any of requirement.

the last day resulted in a visit to the Reina Sofia and
ended the workshop with a master class sitting in the sun.

whole time we were seeing
Georgi shoot
humbly taught us to see which we liked. For him it is important to teach
pictures to many people, with some discretion,
to assess your work and they rarely are able to value it in
time.

is surprising to see him work, how intense can be
taking pictures and the number of pictures it takes to reach the
photo you are looking for. He said that in a hundred photos, selected
ten, and of those ten, one or none are published.

told us about his way of working. Go to a site that interests you, by the light
or whatever reason, and take photographs. Never return to the
sites that have been successful. It also often makes photos
things that interest you, but for the echo to take pictures, to get to
see things as they arise in principle is not interesting
can do that's a wonderful picture.

"I got the freedom to take pictures when I lost the fear to make a bad photo
, trust your intuition"

Nacho Navas.
