Pentax 67 photographers w/ pub. books ?

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>

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!

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.

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.s. Annie Leibowitz has used the Fuji Rangefinders, too.

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.

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...
