This was great and I did not know he was in Brazil, sad that I lost the opportunity to see it.
Very glad you enjoyed it @Magnum. Hopefully you can find another opportunity soon to see his work.
@@MartinParrFDN I hope so!
Thank you for this interview. Very interesting, and reminded me of the work of Vivian Maier, who used the top-down viewfinder Rollei, for her candid street photography. Most of the new digital cameras have straight viewfinders making the action of photo-taking more obvious. Also, I think we have lost something with fewer low-level shots. But this is excellent work.
@NickRichardson do you think it is just about how obvious a photographer is with the use of a downward viewfinder? If you see the image of Diane Arbus photographing in the park the large flash and camera is pretty obvious but the photos benefit from a top-down viewfinder giving a low and intimate angle to view the subject from. What else do we get from changing the angle from which a photo is taken?
@@MartinParrFDN I think it subtly changes the relationship between photographer and subject. Less invasive, but also the lower viewpoint puts less emphasis on the head [ in the case of a portrait] and gives the full image more equality.
