Does anyone know if Anthony Suau shoots Leica?

Does anyone know if Anthony Suau shoots Leica? I just discovered his BxW exhibition entitled �Beyond the Fall� which depicts the transformation former Soviet bloc. Beautiful work. If he does use Leica is it R or M or both?

Hi, David:

Really I don't care whether he does . . . but what a great work of

photography and art he has done.

Thanks for sharing. I can hardly remember a better lesson on History

and photography. Though the much I have read and watched on TV on

these subjects I never had a sound idea of what happened on those

countries except that whatever it was it was a pitty. Now I have a

much better idea. This is real great photography and history, no

matter what it was done with.

Thanks again, David

Wow. Thanks for the link. IMO, it doesn't matter what he used to

capture these images. Phenomenal.

I understand he shoots with a M for the most part. And yes, the

photos are really something special. The horse in front of the small

house in Romania is my favorite.

Hallo David,

 

<p>

 

thank you for pointing out the photographs of ANTHONY SUAU !

 

<p>

 

I have seldom seen such terrific work! What a contrast between the

dead, normal people, soldiers, rebels, (living) politicians. The

burning cities and the posh interiors only the touch of a fingertip

on the keyboard apart for us. Visions burning into the soal.

As a photographer, I guess, you can only bear seeing all this viewing

it through the filter of you camera.

Talent such as this leaves me slack-jawed in awe...

God that´s what photography is for, thank´s for your sugestion David,

Suau is for certain heir of Koudelka´s transparen way of seeing, he

doesn´t watch, he sees with a soul free of prejudgements, he is free

and makes all witness of is work free too.Thank´s indeed.

I e-mailed Anthony Suau and he has 3 M6s and primarily uses the 28 mm

and 35 mm lenses.

Suau's Eastern Europe exhibition is now in Prague. It will be open

until 31st August. Come and see. Great work, really.

[raffi_kirbi]

he is one of the best photojournalist today, what I like to know

where is he been, we haven't seen his work for a while, he's got the

perfect eye for the picture.

[david_carson]

I am blown away by Suau.

 

<p>

 

You can find more work from him at <a

target="_blank">here</a>. His work is even better than James Nachtwey's take on

the same <a href="http://www.time.com/time/photoessays/shattered/"

target="_blank">subject</a>.

I just bought an M6. It's going to be delivered in a couple of days. I've got a long

way to go.

Anthony Suau was here in Budapest in the late 90's to make a trip in

our country (Hungary). Two hungarian photojournalist (one was my

theacher, the other is my friend) were accompanied him to a town

called Ózd. This town is a communist-industrial place with lots of

abandoned foundry, factory etc.

He used Leica M6 (3 body) with 28 and 35 lenses. He measured the

light with a handy lightmeter, the film was Tri-X.

Why can I not take pictures like that? Why? Why?

[shana_lee1]

I had the opportunity to work for him briefly in Paris and he is

definitely an extraordinary talent and a cool guy.
