LOVE & WAR “She moved to Paris, became Man Ray’s collaborator and lover, and helped pioneer the solarization technique that gave photographs that dreamy, otherworldly glow.”

And then the war broke out…

AWARENESS I often wonder if she knew she would be such an incredible legend and teacher through just the visual study of her work. Based on her story, she wasn’t looking for anything but the satisfaction of framing an image and knowing she got it. Photography was her need, her muses were found everywhere around her. Impressive woman in so many ways.

LIVING LEGEND Louis Mendes is a recognizable NYC character in the photography community. It was fun to read more about his work in this shared post.

Louis Mendes nació en 1940 en Queens, Nueva York, y es una auténtica leyenda viva de la fotografía callejera con más de 50 años de trayectoria a sus espaldas 👤

Su sello de identidad es inconfundible en las aceras de Manhattan: siempre patrulla las calles impecablemente vestido con trajes elegantes, corbata y sombrero 😎

Su herramienta de trabajo principal es una cámara de prensa de gran formato americana, Speed Graphic, de los años 40. El dispositivo cuenta con el clásico fuelle desplegable y va acompañado de un enorme e imponente reflector de flash 💥

En sus inicios durante los años 50 y 60, Mendes comenzó retratando la vida nocturna en clubes y fiestas locales, pero con el tiempo convirtió la calle, en especial Times Square, Grand Central Terminal o los alrededores de la mítica tienda B&H Photo en su propio estudio personal 📌♥️

El modelo de negocio de Mendes se basa en vender retratos físicos al instante a los turistas y transeúntes que se cruzan en su camino. Para lograrlo modificó la parte trasera de su cámara Graflex para adaptarle respaldos capaces de utilizar cartuchos de revelado inmediato. Aunque durante décadas usó la mítica película de la marca Polaroid y cartuchos descatalogados de Fujifilm, hoy en día se ha adaptado a los tiempos modernos rellenando sus bolsillos con cartuchos de película Instax Wide 🙃

Tomarse una foto con él es toda una experiencia turística y nostálgica en Nueva York. El fotógrafo entabla conversación, ayuda a posar al cliente con elegancia y dispara su potente flash de bombilla tradicional. En cuestión de pocos minutos, la copia se revela en las manos del comprador. No impone una tarifa, sino que trabaja mediante una donación o precio sugerido que ronda entre los $20 y $40 dólares, por llevarse a casa un recuerdo irrepetible de la historia viva de la ciudad 🗽
