Wow, that's great photo and a huge camera.
The box brownie was launched around the turn of the century and I'm sure I read somewhere that Kertesz' first camera was a Brownie

I read the article, thanks for sharing it, it's very interesting and I agree with most of it.
Actually I had no idea that portable cameras already existed by that time. I'll attach a photo of my grandfather, he was a photographer. It would've been sort of difficult to carry around a camera like this one. (approx. 1930)

Yes, you are right. Keep in mind that technology was changing too. Smaller portable cameras, etc enabled street photography. Thing about Kertesz to look for in his early works, the thing that sets him apart from HCB (who came ten or more years later) is his ability to compose elaborate frames in a very dynamic environment

I think Kertész did something new by that time and people don't always like to think different or out of the box. It might be a stupid example but it's like looking at a photo of a nice landscape or sunset and you can just say "oh, that's so beautiful". But when there's something different, something that is not obvious what actually the artist wants to express with his work, people do not always like to think. Sorry, I'm getting philosophical... :)

Yes, you are right about his departure from Hungary. You may have to seek his early work to see the origins of street photography (no much on the net, so books).
I 'm reluctant to say this out loud but I always think of Henri Cartier-Bresson as a poor man's Kertesz (that's not to say I don't have a lot of respect and admiration for HCB).

Yes, but as far as I know he worked and lived in France and New York after the war. Some of his photos are abstract and/or surreal. Never thought he was considered "street photographer". From my side, I think I fell in love with photography because it gives me a great power, the ability to stop time for a moment. "Capturing fleeting reality" as Henri Cartier-Bresson said.

Your work is lovely Linda.
Incidentally, are you familiar with the work of your fellow countryman and Budapestian: Andre Kertesz? He is the father of street photography, a compositional wizard and my all time favourite photographer

LOL! You're funny Paul.
In general you were right. Btw I appreciate any comment or opinion, I can upload my photos to a bunch of community sites to get "likes" but nothing useful. That's why I came back here. :)

Thank you for your comment Paul.
This is not a studio photo, I think what you are referring to is called butterfly lighting, where the shadow falls directly under the nose, I can only do that using two lights in a studio.
I am using my own way of lighting when I'm experimenting on myself. I'm holding one desktop light in one hand, I point it directly in the camera to measure light (that's why they are low-key), then I keep the camera still and move the light away to the side, or wherever I can/want, the result is always different. Thank you for again, best regards.

Another lovely portrait of a lovely woman.
I said before that I don't know much about studio lighting and nothing has changed however I have read that primary shadows should fall away and not forward. Looks like the shadow of your nose is about the right size, suggesting you have the main light at the right height but on the wrong side of your face.
Hope this helps
Regards

If I would strike a Pause for your project the project certainly will fail.
anyway the photo is so good.Sepia taste B&W I liked it so much. I would use this for a MAKE-UP commercial as it is without colour. Excellent ...
