should effectivelydepict movement, or it has missed its purpose. Yet manypeople seem to forget this, and select subjects in which thereis but little motion, or at least none that is interesting. Thatis as bad a mistake as it would be to take stereographs ofsubjects showing no relief, or to copy black and white draw-ings on color plates. Others, again, while getting plenty of animation in theirfilms, manage to choose incidents of a purely local and ephem-eral interest. These, of course, lose attraction in a few daysat most, and are not worth the serious attention of film buyers.The sort of film really worth reproducing and capable ofenduring a long run will always find ready purchasers. The remaining secrets of successful motion picture photog-raphy are a rock-steady tripod, a first-class lens, a good inter-mittent movement, meter-timed exposures, and a well-chosenlighting, full of roundness and relief. Also, whatever theexpert may do, the amateur is advised to select bright, spark- 78

Edward Weston

Edward Henry Weston byl americký fotograf a spoluzakladatel skupiny f/64. Je pokládán za „jednoho z nejmodernějších a nejvlivnějších amerických fotografů“ a „jednoho z mistrů fotografie 20. století“. Během čtyřicetileté kariéry Weston svůj repertoár neustále rozšiřoval; vedle krajin, zátiší, aktů, portrétů či žánrových scén tvořil dokonce i náladové parodie. Říká se, že rozvinul „bytostně americký, a zejména specificky kalifornský přístup k moderní fotografii“, jelikož se zaměřil právě na obyvatele a krajinu amerického Západu. V roce 1937 Weston jako první z fotografů získal Guggenheimovo stipendium a v následujících dvou letech velkoformátovým fotoaparátem vyprodukoval téměř 1400 negativů. Na řadě svých nejslavnějších fotografií zachytil stromy a skály v kalifornské přírodní rezervaci Point Lobos poblíž místa, kde žil po mnoho let. .. pokračovat ve čtení
