Hello dear reader,
In this article i’d like to share with you some photography food… The legendary photo agency Magnum have a lot of members, and amongst them is Marc Riboud whom i’ve discovered quite recently. My friend photographer Arnauld lent me the little book with some of Riboud’s most iconic images. They captivated me and i wanted to know more. Below, there are valuable and very interesting links about this amazing artist
Now, i’m not going to copy the whole Wikipedia page on Riboud but i’ll leave the link right here
Marc Riboud’s famous quotes:
My first reaction at the very idea of this interview was to refuse to talk about photography. Why dissect and comment a process that is essentially a spontaneous reaction to a surprise? 
The eye is made to see and not to think…. A good photograph is a surprise. How could we plan and foresee a surprise? We just have to be ready. The idea of photography as evidence is pure bullshit. A photo is no more proof of any reality than what you may hear being said by someone in a bus. We only record details, small fragments of the world. Rather than a profession, photography has always been a passion for me, a passion closer to an obsession. For me photography is not an intellectual process. It is a visual one…. Whether we like it or not, we are involved in a sensual business. Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.
Next up is a fantastic video that shows the workflow and stories behind his famous images
And finally i’d like to leave you with a link to his profile page on Magnum official website
I have learned and am still learning a lot by studying his images and reading about his work, so i hope this article will be as much help to you as for me (if you don’t already know M.Riboud of course).
I’m going to be making more of this kind of posts in the future, so if you’re interested in learning together with me, feel free to subscribe or follow this blog and you’re always welcome to connect and leave a comment 🙂
Thats it for now, thanks for stopping by
Till next time
Yuri
