He seems to capture their spirits so well!

Philippe Halsman

Uploaded on Sep 16, 2011

Philippe Halsman, né le 2 mai 1906 à Riga, mort le 25 juin 1979 à New York, est un photographe américain d'origine lettonne, célèbre pour ses portraits de personnalités et ses photos de mode, qui fit partie de la célèbre agence Magnum.

Dans les années 1950, Philippe Halsman bouleverse les conventions du genre. A la fin de chaque séance, il exprime une dernière demande à celui qu'il vient de photographier : "jump !".
L'idée semble bien légère, cependant, elle abolit les règles et les refuges de la pose. Alors, le sujet, interprétant à sa façon l'étrange demande du photographe, bien plus attentif au saut qu'à l'image qu'il va donner de lui-même, se laisse aller au bonheur, enfantin et libérateur, du saut. Les photographies sont aussi surprenantes que révélatrices, et l'exercice s'avère être un exutoire pour les vedettes de cinéma, politiques, artistes, écrivains, architectes ou industriels. When you ask a person to jump, his attention is mostly directed toward the act of jumping and the mask falls so that the real person appears. Les images débordent d'énergie, et par cette simple et joyeuse injonction, chacun est saisi, en lévitation, défiant dans l'instantané les lois implacables de la gravité. 

(Musique : Paul Anka - Jump & Frank Sinatra - Summer Wind)

The war in the South Pacific, a country doctor in Colorado, victims of industrial pollution in a Japanese village--all were captured in unforgettable photographs by the legendary W. Eugene Smith. This program showcases over 600 of Smith's stunning photographs and includes a dramatic recreation in which actor Peter Riegert (Crossing Delancey, Local Hero) portrays the artist using dialogue taken from Smith's diaries and letters. Interwoven through the program are archival footage and interviews with family and friends of this brilliant, complicated man, whose work developed from twin themes of common humanity and social responsibility.
