Alex Webb---- A photographer with Magnum Photos.













Alex Webb (born 5 May 1952) is a photographer associated with Magnum Photos. He has primarily worked in color, has published 11 books, and has contributed to such magazines as GEO, Time, and the New York Times Magazine.







Webb first became interested in photography as a high school student and in 1972 attended the Ape iron Workshops in Miller ton. By 1974 he was working as a photojournalist and in 1976 he became an associate member of Magnum Photos. During this time he documented small-town life in the American South. He also did some work in the Caribbean and Mexico, which led him, in 1978, to begin working in color, which he has continued to do.


Webb has produced six monographs with bodies of work from The Tropics (Mexico, the Caribbean Islands, Africa, and Asia,), Haiti, Florida, the Amazon region, the U.S.-Mexico Border, and Istanbul, and one retrospective monograph, The Suffering of Light.

Webb now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York with his wife, Rebecca Norris Webb, who is also a photographer.
















Jim Marshall ----- Music Photography


















MARIN INDEPENDENT JOURNAL: Famed rock photographer Jim Marshall's images of Haight-Ashbury live on in new book

The New York Times said Jim Marshall's images of rock stars in the 1960s and 1970s "helped define their subjects as well as rock 'n' roll photography itself." And Annie Liebowitz, who has shot her share of rock photos for Rolling Stone, deferred to Marshall as "the rock 'n' roll' photographer."

Joel Meyerowitz------New York Street Photographer



JOEL MEYEROWITZ

 is an award-winning photographer whose work has appeared in over 350 exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world. He was born in New York in 1938. He began photographing in 1962. He is a “street photographer” in the tradition of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank, although he now works exclusively in colour. As an early advocate of colour photography (mid-60’s), Meyerowitz was instrumental in changing the attitude toward the use of colour photography from one of resistance to nearly universal acceptance. His first book, Cape Light, is considered a classic work of colour photography and has sold more than 150,000 copies during its 30-year life. He is the author of 20 other books, including Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks (Aperture), and his 50 year retrospective book, "Taking My Time", was published by Phaeton Press in 2013. He currently has a major retrospective exhibition at the NRW Forum in Dusseldorf. In November another large scale exhibition, "Immersion", opens in la Piscine Museum in Roubaix, France.
