    PLATON has to be one of the most unpretentious , intelligent, quiet & yet brilliant portrait specialists of this last 30 years & to boot he’s an outstanding human being. He’s a purist with a passion for telling the story behind the lens.

    He is amazing both as a person and as an artist. Few people are that transparent, clear, and direct.
    Also, the people that worked on this documentary did a majestic job! I really appreciated the way they balanced out the emotionally dark part of the women's stories in Congo by introducing right after that the warm atmosphere of Platon talking about his family.

  • @albus3137

    He talks, to make others not make a pose and so they become free, uneasy and feel thier fear. This creates a real soul to come out.....

    You will really feel the connection
    This is very inspiring, to actually use artistry sharing a simple but huge contribution to society.

  • @neurojitsu
    @neurojitsu Před 3 lety +49

    His sublime sensitivity to his subjects at the most intimate of moments is an inspiration, not just for its art but for its sheer humanity.
    It reminds me of the work of the late David Bohm, a Nobel prize-winning quantum physicist who is equally as well known for his philosoophy and deep inquiries into the nature of consciousness, explored through a simple term he called "dialogue." When he explained his concept of dialogue, the simplest summation I've heard, is that to enter into a deep dialogue with another human being you have to show "attention and care." The purpose of dialogue was to get past the baggage that we all bring to conversation and relationships, that comes from our personal history. Bohm wanted to connect with the human being, not that baggage. And his notion of "care" was the essence of how he went about it: he connected with his care for another human being.
    Platon's work embodies Bohm's notion of dialogue exquisitely.

    This piece and his story reminded me of what art means to - connection with other humans. Brought a few tears to my eyes for that innocence of stripped ego and bravado. Just connection. Beautiful.

Here is an undiscovered land for photographers like you. Souls are so uncovered here and one needs to have only some tools and artistic eyes for detecting them.

    En la frase "estás buscando un momento en el que te sientas más cerca del alma" es donde supe que no solo es artista por su arte, sino también por su humanidad.
    Este episodio fue muy inspirador porque platón nos muestra a través de su fotografía cada historia que vale la pena reflejar, él cuenta que la comunicación y la conexión es la base para transmitir algo porque antes de eso nunca conoceremos el mensaje y el se siente responsable por contar una historia y hacerlo bien, y las mostró en su viaje a África, porque lo que se vió fue muy explotador e impotente al ver a esas mujeres del Congo dentro de un sistema manchado, donde pasan su vida siendo víctimas de su propio país y pensar que poco a poco se está tornando en un círculo sin fin, sin leyes, sin derechos para esas mujeres y sus futuras hijas, me deja quebrantada.
    Pero a la vez me siento grata por este tipo de documentales que son una plataforma para darnos cuenta muestras problemáticas sociales.

  • @peoplebeforeprofit

    Platon is an orator who takes pictures. His stories always supersede the photograph. His commutation skills are why he has survived in an industry surrounded by better photographers, but who couldn’t compete with his oratorical skills.

How many photo-journalists do you think go to Africa to take photage of African people then end up with portraits of Africa & her people that corrupts the view of non-Africans who's only window into the life of the mother- land is the Frame of the camera they pointed at Africa.

    Platon is his art. His images have power and humanity shines under his lens. He works incredibly close up and I was intrigued by his lens choices. Was he using a 50mm distagon and a 120mm or a 150mm perhaps with extension tubes? The power of his documentary work was very moving. Really visionary!
