Emva kweprojekthi yeefoto: umrhumo kubathwebuli beefoto

Umfoti owaziwayo uTim Mantoani ngumbhali weprojekthi ethi "Behind Photographs", equlathe imifanekiso yabantu abafotayo abadumileyo abazenzela ezabo iifoto.

Ukufota kuvelise uninzi lwegcisa elinakho ukufota ezinye zeefoto ezibonisa amakhulu ezigidi zabantu abazibonileyo. Ngamaxesha amaninzi, iifoto zidume kakhulu kunabantu abazithathileyo.

Ukuze sihambise imbeko kumagcisa, umfoti owaziwayo uTim Mantoani udale iprojekhthi yefoto ethi “Behind Photographs”, nayo eye yajika yaba yincwadi yezithombe ethi “Behind Photographs: Archiving Photographic Legends”.

Olu luhlu luqulathe imizobo yeefoto eziphethe imifanekiso yazo yezandla ezandleni zazo ezifakwe kusetyenziswa ifomathi yekhamera enkulu eyi-20 × 24 Polaroid.

UTim Mantoani unika imbeko abafoti abadumileyo kwiprojekthi ye "Behind Photographs"

Iprojekthi ethi “Behind Photographs” yaqala ukubuyela emva ngo-2006. UTim Mantoani uthathe isigqibo sokubhala iifoto ezaziwayo, kodwa hayi ngendlela eqhelekileyo, ke ngoko uqeshe ikhamera enkulu eyi-20 × 24 yePolaroid.

I-20 × 24 Polaroid yikhamera enqabileyo kakhulu, enobunzima obungaphezulu kwe-100 kilograms (ngaphezulu kwama-230 eepawundi) kwaye efuna i-tripod ekhethekileyo ukuyibamba imile. Njengoko umntu enokwenza umfanekiso, kuyabiza kakhulu ukuqesha, ke uTim uthathe isigqibo sokusebenzisa ngendlela ekhethekileyo.

Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, le projekthi kunye nabafoti zifanelekile. Kuthotho lwe "Behind Photographs", uTim ujonge ukubonisa amadoda angasemva kwezi foto zidumileyo, ke bayafotwa bebambe iifoto zabo.

Ngaphandle kokubuza neefoto zabo, abafoti nabo baceliwe ukuba babhale okuthile malunga neefoto zabo ezantsi kushicilelo. Ngexesha elimalunga neminyaka emihlanu, ngaphezulu kwe-150 yeefoto ziye zacela uTim Mantoani.

Malunga ne "Emva kweefoto: Ukugcina amaNqaku ePhoto"

UTim Mantoani uthi iziqwengana zembali ziyalityalwa, kubandakanya izixhobo kunye namagcisa. Nangona abantu abaninzi bebonile ezinye zeefoto ezibonakalayo, abantu abazi ukuba zenziwe ngubani. Incwadi ethi "Emva kweefoto: Ukugcina amaNqaku ePhoto eFoto" kubeka amagcisa kunye neefoto zawo kumfanekiso omnye.

Ngapha koko, i-20 × 24 Polaroid khamera inokuthi kungekudala isebenziseke, njengoko imveliso ye-20 × 24 yefilimu inokuphela kungekudala. Kungenxa yoko le nto uTim ekhethe ukudubula esebenzisa esi sixhobo.

Uluhlu olungaphezulu kwe-150 labafoti luboniswa kule ncwadi, kubandakanya uSteve McCurry, uJeff Widener, uDavid Doubilet, uNeil Leifer, kunye noDouglas Kirkland.

Incwadi ethi “Behind Photographs: Archiving Photographic Legends” yile iyafumaneka ukuthengwa eAmazon, ngelixa ezinye iinkcukacha malunga neprojekthi ziyafumaneka kwiwebhusayithi kaTim Mantoani.
