Paul Caponigro portfolio: View Camera Magazine

[paulie_smith1]

<p>View Camera magazine is absolutely wonderful this issue. About 70 pages of images from Paul Caponigro. Not 'greatest hits', but images we have not seen before. The printing is excellent and his is an issue worth keeping as it showcases one of the great talents of our time.<br>

I hope he does another featuring Ray McSavaney in the future.</p>

<p>An interesting body of work spanning over a number of years as a photographer. Does anyone know if he used a large format camera for these images? I know it might seem obvious he did since his work appears in View Camera Magazine but I tried researching this and came up with mixed results (everything from 8x10 to 645 format)...Thanks.</p>

<p>I guess in answer to my own question, it's all of the above including digital! It looks like Paul has been working with digital for quite a few years now...multi talented.</p>

<p>He does film/darkroom. As for digital, you might be thinking of his son, John Paul Caponigro.<br>

Jon</p>

<p>Thanks for the clarification, Jon. I didn't know about the connection with his son (it's all beginning to make sense now)!</p>
