Leica Portrait: Joel Meyerowitz | Reupload

During the next months we will re-feature some of the best videos from our archives and share them again with all of you.
Original Video from 2012.
*******
An award-winning street photographer who has been creating memorable images in the great photojournalistic tradition since 1962, Joel Meyerowitz pioneered the use of color in this slice of life genre, and his classic book on Cape Cod, "Cape Light" was instrumental in changing the prevailing dismissive attitudes toward color photography. Within a few days of the 9/11 attacks on The World Trade Center, Meyerowitz began to create an archive of the destruction and recovery at Ground Zero that consists of over 8,000 images of the aftermath of the tragedy. In this latest Leica Portrait video, Joel shares the story of his transition from junior art director to legendary photographer.

He‘s a photographic legend! His street photography is a time travel into history.

what I like about this job. the composition . color is not easy these color photos where a lot of things are happening. these are photos where we look at the composition from all sides !!

[@mjscpr]

His »Legacy« book about New York Parks is my favourite photography book, it is so underrated. You can see it in the frame to his left.

[@MiamiVPG]

His book, How I Make Photographs, will give you an insight into how he approaches photography. He is a genius and also historian.

[@weisserth]

Yes, I got that book. It's a great recommendation for anyone interested in "seeing", not necessarily only photographing.

[@Fontsman]

A master of his craft

[@kyl5767]

I think the lens he was waving in his hand was a 35mm Summilux ver2 - What do you think?

[@ivicadimkovski3790]

[@TungstenOvergaard]

What a legend…

[@ezekielkok1848]

Is that a M9 he’s holding?

[@Amia67360]

Yes, I've seen M9 on the camera in his right hand when he's talking!

[@morrisyang4255]

If he uses Nikon F5, he will take more record photos

[@Amia67360]

Absolutely, you're right.
