Ed Templeton x Leica

Ed Templeton, in addition to being one of my childhood idols is part of growing group of professional skateboarders turned creatives. Templeton’s camera has been a staple of tour trips and skate events forever, but now as he has shifted out of the skating spotlight the focus is drawn to his art. His photographic is mostly documentary with a touch of performance or experiential art mixed in. His early photos taken during his skating career capture things that an outsider would never otherwise be able to see. That insight is a beautiful thing.

The camera of choice for Templeton is of course a Leica. So as part of an ongoing series of interviews with photographers who use their rigs, Leica made this interview with him talking about his process and what inspires him.

Lumen

Lumen is an incredible set of photographs by Hungarian designer and photographer Akos Major. The way small but delicate elements pop out of these landscapes due to contrast is amazing.

Christian Stoll

Christian Stoll has a unique eye and interesting approach to capturing complex mechanical and industrial environments and objects. He has a knack for honing in on the essence and in turn presenting the viewer with a simplified artful composition of something that would otherwise be overlooked, if it is even visible at all. His work reminds me of Edward Burtynsky with the focus being slightly more on the megalithic nature of industrial spaces where Burtynsky tends to delve more into the working conditions and environmental change that our industrial age has made.

Vivian Maier

Amateur street photographer Vivian Maier captured New York like few others. The iconic and historic images she took of New York City create a looking glass into a time long since paved over and shined away. The culturally rich and gritty place that it was.

Iceland by Michael Schlegel

It has been a very long time since I have seen black and white photography, which stirs so much emotion and carries such gravity with it. Michael Schlegel has captured Iceland’s landscapes with a power and richness that is surprising to see without color. His photos express the essence and beauty of the water, the wind, and the fog of a beautiful place.

Abandoned during construction this partially completed wonderland on the outskirts of Beijing offers some images that feel different worldly and post apocalyptic all at the same time.

Max Dworkin

I feel blessed to have grown up with a group of really creative and talented people, at the time most of it manifested in the form of skate boarding, and snowboarding among other extreme forms of expression. There was a definite turning point when some people started picking up cameras (both film and video) to capture our exploits that the energy shifted. One such friend was Max Dworkin. I remember back to 2000 or so Max was diligently snapping shots of the competitors (he knew) launching off a massive big air jump at Catamount ski area. Those same roots and inspiration show through in his more current work, especially in these pieces where people are jumping, floating, and levitating within landscapes.

Austrian Race Car Photos

These photos were shot at the 1000km Red Bull Ring race circuit by Atelier Olschinsky, which is a small Vienna based graphic design and photography studio. Each photo carries so much weight and impression they all have a seriously cinematic air to them. The lighting and texture are what in my opinion strongly defines this.

Sam Handel

I have always admired and loved the photography of my friend Sam Handel. He has an extremely clean style and captures things so naturally that each of his photos seem to communicate a pause in time or a mere moment caught.

Hengki Koentjoro

Self proclaimed amateur photographer Hengki Koentjoro from Indonesia has a portfolio stocked full of rich textural images. Koentjoro shoots on a broad array of hardware including a Nikon D700, a Canon 5D Mark II and a 120mm film camera. He has this amazing thread throughout a great deal of his work that is the human relation to the water and how that is captured.

Richard Barnes

Richard Barnes photos are rather surreal, capturing a side of museums that most of us will never see. The behind the scenes work that goes into the exhibits we see in the Museum of Natural History are a work of art unto themselves.

Leica Lenses

Anybody who knows even the smallest bit about cameras or photography knows that Leica is at the top of the game. That is mainly due to the fact that their optics are second to none. This video detailing the process for me just confirms what I already kind of knew. Leica is serious about their product. Putting it through thorough testing at every stage, assembled, and hand finished by specialists is just another testament to the level of excellence their product exudes.

Nonspace

Artist Emily Grundon has shot a series of photographs, which look at the architectural details and intricacies of the spaces in which art is displayed and exhibited. In Nonspace she highlights the little things most of us would miss when we are in a museum or art gallery. Busy encountering a space in it’s intended purpose we often miss the most interesting or telling details. These photos capture light and shadow, which are often in art criticism some of the most important aspects of art.

Ramiro Chaves

Photographer Ramiro Chaves has captured some beautiful images of old signage, letter forms and unique objects. One of the more compelling aspects of his compositions is the signs, letters or subject matter are not quite in the place or state they were originally intended.
