The Photography of Stavros Pippos
Exhibition runs to 28th July 2019
Stavros Pippos
In the days of black-and-white analogue television the ability to visualise colours as steps of a grey scale, from dense black through to paper white, was a necessary skill for a cameraman; and it remains so today for those of us engaged in the art of black-and-white photography. In live television the studio camera operator must also be capable of speed and precision, and have an eye for composition. It soon became second nature for me to reposition a large mobile camera, moving from one scene to another, simultaneously rotating the lens turret to select one of four prime lenses. Using my large-format analogue film cameras today requires similar concentration and attention to technical detail – with one significant difference: I’m now the director, producer, camera operator and creator of the final printed image.
Nothing could be more satisfying!
Stavros Pippos exhibition features three photographic printing methods: platinum-palladium, regarded as the pinnacle of archival printing, plus the more traditional black-and-white gelatin-silver and the exquisite silver-chloride contact prints.Together they form the nucleus of this magnificent work.More Info
