marcelo_p._lima Posted January 24, 1999 Share Posted January 24, 1999 Hello everyone, <p> I would like to know if anyone could give me some names of professional photographers who use the Pentax 67 in their work and who have published books showing it (in any category, i.e., outdoor, commercial, etc.). I'm new to MF and I want to see how other people use the equipment I'll soon be using. <p> Thanks a lot for the help, <p> Marcelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian yarvin Posted January 24, 1999 Share Posted January 24, 1999 One of the hottest photo books of this past Christmas season; "A Private Veiw" by Sante D'Orazio what shot mostly with the Pentaxes. This book is a real thrill for anyone who has anything to do with glamour or fashion. <p> Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photomark Posted January 24, 1999 Share Posted January 24, 1999 Check out Robert Glenn Ketchum. He's a nature/landscape guy who does extraordinary work. He has several books including "Northwest Passage". He uses both the pentax 67 and 645. Good Shooting. Mark Meyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_kemp Posted January 25, 1999 Share Posted January 25, 1999 Kathleen Norris Cook, one of the best American landscape photographers in my opinion, uses and has used the Pentax 67 for years. There's an article about her (and a number of her images) in Popular Photography, August 1998, p. 68 (the cover photo is also hers); in this article she talks a little about her choice of the Pentax 67. She has a very recent book, The Spirit of the San Juans (1998), a beautiful book, and she is also represented in The Nature of America (1997), a collection of photographs of America's premier landscape and nature photographers (the wraparound cover photograph is hers). She also took all the photographs in Yosemite: Valley of Thunder (1996), text by Ann Zwinger. Her home is in Ouray, CO. I have been to her business office in Southern California and have seen several of her original transparencies, and believe me, they will make you want to run out and buy a Pentax 67 and try to go out and do likewise!

todd_wemmer Posted January 25, 1999 Share Posted January 25, 1999 I was just thumbing through Bruce Weber's A Room With a View. If I remember he said he used a Pentax 67 and a fuji 6by9 in the interview at the end of the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferdl___ Posted January 25, 1999 Share Posted January 25, 1999 I know that Michel Comte does a lot of his work with a P67, I saw him at work with Sharon Stone in a TV-documentation and it was really impressive how he handled that thing. Search altavista and you'll find a lot of references to him. I was told that Herb Ritts does a lot with a Pentax 6x7, I'm not sure if this is right, I think he uses a Mamyia.

twmeyer Posted January 26, 1999 Share Posted January 26, 1999 William Garrett has published fine art aerials in color, and Marilyn Bridges has a book of B&W aerials of sacred archaeological sites called "Sacred Places" that's really nice. She was the Darling of FotoFest in Houston a few years back, and her work shows why. All those cool places that are supposed to be alien landing sites and other famous and not so famous spots like Stone Henge. South America, Europe and more. <p> p.s. Annie Leibowitz has used the Fuji Rangefinders, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrett_adams Posted February 12, 1999 Share Posted February 12, 1999 Another is George H.H. Huey from Arizona. His American Southwest work has been widely published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_warden Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 obie oberholzer (petrus cornelius jacobus oberholzer !) has a great book called "beyond bagamoyo". absolutely beautiful photos, although the pictures are a little more "happy" than the "happy-sad" he claim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted June 23, 2000 Share Posted June 23, 2000 Marilyn Bridges as Tom M. already pointed out (Tom, you were here? I got to drive MB and her then agent around a little bit..) . Commercial /Industrial /Annual Report photographer Jeff Smith of NYC is a big fan of the Pentax 67. if you are in Houston you can go see a permanant exhibit of my work at the Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Texas Medical Center (mostly in the cafeteria but throughout the first two or three floors) that I shot with a Pentax 67, a total of about 80 images, all 20 x24 or 24x30 Fuji Super Gloss type R from original RVP.

erik_bongers Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Check out Carl De Keyzer : a Belgian photographer working with the Magnum agency. I believe that - except for the first book - all others are created using a Pentax 67 with one or two flashes. See www.magnumphotos.com or his personal website www.carldekeyzer.com. Late reply, but still interesting to know, I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
