COLEC7IVA

By Chuma Montemayor

For those around San Francisco, California check the Arnold Newman Masterclass at the Contemporary Jewish Museum. A great opportunity to learn from this great late photographer. One of the most productive, creative, influential and successful portrait photographers of the twentieth century.

After three months of continuous success, the photographic work of Garry Winogrand (1928-1984) left the walls of the Metropolitan Museum in New York on 21 September. Considered one of the greatest photographers of the twentieth century, Winogrand is known for his urban narrative of Manhattan stretching from the 1950s to the early 80s. Read more.

Meet the Artist: Selma Fernandez Richter

This week I’m very glad to bring to you a photographer I have seen grow in time, Selma Fernandez Richter. A portraiture artist born in Oaxaca, Mexico residing in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Fernandez has been exploring themes that relate to identity through a connection with a place, adaptation and religion. Most of her late work is done in film, in a unique way where she relates to people no matter their religion or culture. One of her biggest strengths is that she is able to capture moments and feelings that speak for themselves and where the engagement she has with this world is shown in each and every portrait she does. Selma Fernandez also works as a photo workshop producer, including Mary Ellen’s Mark workshops in Oaxaca, Mexico and New York.

Car poolers gives us an interesting look in how people from the suburbs of Mexico travel to the metropolitan areas. Cartagena offers this unique view by shooting from a pedestrian overpass. Peeking into the lives of the unknowing travelers, he takes us on a journey itself.
