Analog Forever Magazine - Edition 3 Artist Selections
Interview:
Gerry Yaum - “The Families of the Dump”
Website | YouTube
Photographer Gerry Yaum investigates the Mae Sot Thailand garbage dumps where more than 50 Mon and Karen refugee and immigrant families live. Displaced by poverty, war, and political instability of Burma (Myanmar), Yaum doesn’t just tell their story but has become a part of it. What began as a documentary project has turned into a humanitarian based on relationships formed with humble actions that has allowed him to capture the people through a lens of honest dignity instead of through the eyes of an outsider. This interview captures how you can explore harsh realities with a tender heart and still speak truth.
Interview:
David Burnett - “60 Years of Photojournalism – The Past, The Present and The Future”
Website | Instagram
David Burnett is a photojournalist with more than 6 decades of work covering the news, the people, and visual tempo of our age. He is co-founder of Contact Press Images, the New York based photojournalism agency, now entering its 45th year. American Photo magazine named Burnett one of the "100 Most Important People in Photography." He has worked in over 80 countries, documenting the coup in Chile (1973), revolution in Iran (1979), famine in Ethiopia (1984), the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989), and the US military intervention in Haiti (1994). More recently he photographed the impeachment hearings using his 4x5 “Aero-Liberator” camera. Shooting film, Burnett says, “makes you think twice before flicking that shutter.”
Feature:
Felicita Russo - “Polaroid Light Painting”
Website | Instagram
Italian photographer Felicita Russo’s instant film based creations of extraterrestrial worlds and breathtaking future landscapes bridge the gap between traditional painting, contemporary art, and science fiction. She pushes the boundaries of contemporary light painting photography by applying these practices, traditionally only combined in movies and book covers, to create her own genre-defining light paintings that move the paradigm of where the intersection of technical science and art align with one another.
Feature:
Ky Lewis - “Ness”
Website | Instagram
Ky Lewis’s imperfect gelatin prints that make up her series “Ness” appear to be long lost artifacts, just discovered by modern man, that show the unique tangible sensibilities from the areas and time they were created in. These pinhole landscapes explore the timeless melancholia of the isles and inlets of the Southern Coast of England with X-Ray Film that create a cohesive visual story that evokes the dualistic nature of places we may have only visited epigenetically from our ancestors’ past.
Feature:
Noell Oszvald - “Surreal Self Portraits”
Website | Instagram
Noell is a Hungarian artist living in Budapest. Her work is at once simple and complex. Seemingly simple lines and uncomplicated visuals can lead to complex conversations–the very best kind of art. Working exclusively on black and white, Noell doesn’t shy away from the tools afforded to photographers today yet has a very specific analog vision. Beautiful and intensely personal, her work very much stands out in a visually saturated world.
Interview:
Judy Dater - “Photographic Icon”
Website
Photographer, feminist, and icon of the visual arts, Judy Dater’s portraiture philosophy has set a tone and style that is immediately recognized the world over. A photographer’s photographer, her experience in making both portraits and self-portraits alike has garnered her a place within the history of photography. As a visual artist, educator, workshop leader, and inspiration to so many, Dater’s background and experience is a must-learn for anyone seeking guidance from a master photographer. Analog Forever Magazine is thrilled to offer our feature interview with cover artist Judy Dater.
Interview:
Heidi Kirkpatrick - “Lost and Found”
Website | Instagram
Heidi Kirkpatrick, a fine art photographer and educator based in Portland, Oregon, combines traditional forms of photography with found items to create artifacts of a reimagined past. Whether printing cyanotypes on textiles or collaging with film positives, she toys with the interplay between image and object to invoke narratives steeped in nostalgia. Meditating on themes of family, femininity, and history, she creates one-of-a-kind photo objects that serve as both art and heirloom. Heidi has exhibited widely over the years and her work is held in numerous private and public collections including The Fox Talbot Museum, Wiltshire, England; and the Denver Art Museum.
Feature:
Don Whitebread - “Communing with the Stars”
Website | Instagram
Don Whitebread takes us on a journey into the wilderness of the American West to witness the glory of the night sky. Utilizing multi-hour exposures he is able to capture the dynamic movement of the earth through the heavens in juxtaposition to the eerily still landscape, all in stunning silver. But with civilization ever encroaching, are we at risk of losing this magnificent darkness completely?
Feature:
Molly McCall - “Into the Twilight”
Website | Instagram
Molly McCall’s recent work expands an ongoing investigation of the interaction of memory, the passage of time, a sense of place, and of identity through the visual interpretation of the poem, “Into the Twilight” written by Irish poet William Butler Yeats in 1899.
Interview:
Lori Vrba - “Drunken Poet’s Dream” + Assemblage
Website | Instagram
Lori Vrba discusses her approach to photography - rooted in themes of memory, illusion, loss, and revival - as well as her intentions behind the stories told by them. By examining her body of work “Drunken Poet’s Dream” and her more recent assemblage pieces, we can find the common thread and narrative that connect the two and propel her aesthetic to the forefront.
