Stockland Martel at the Lucies (photos)

Lots of great photos from the Lucies last week (scroll down for those), and some great news, to boot: “Engaged Observers: Documentary Photography since the ’60s”—the record-breaking exhibition at the Getty featuring the work of our own Lauren Greenfield, among other important photographers—won an award for Curator/Exhibition of the Year. Congratulations to the photographers and to curator Brett Abbott! (Read my interview with Brett here.)

Among the nominees at the event, which are like the photo world’s version of the Oscars, minus the choreographed dance numbers, were Roxanne Lowit (an IPA nominee for her book Backstage Dior) and Nadav Kander, who was nominated in the Print Advertising Campaign of the Year category for a Hyundai campaign featuring stock images that agency Innocean purchased from Stockland Martel Archives.

Gearing up for PhotoPlus and the Lucies

Kristina Feliciano — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:41:01 +0000

PDN’s PhotoPlus Expo kicks off on Thursday. On that day, Vincent Laforet will be teaching a hands-on workshop titled “Cinematography With a DSLR.”

And on Friday, Lauren Greenfield will present a seminar on photography and filmmaking:

…

I’ll be taking in all the seminars that I can, wandering the trade-show floor, and filing reports here at the blog.

Meanwhile, tonight is the Lucie Awards at Lincoln Center. Bill and Maureen and I will be there, awaiting the announcement of the IPA Photographer of the Year Award. Nadav Kander is a finalist. He is also nominated in the Print Advertising Campaign of the Year for his Puma L.I.F.T ads. Go, Nadav!

I also saw via Facebook that Allegra Wilde is organizing a tribute to Irving Penn. I know my friend the food stylist Victoria Granof (who I met through Stockland Martel, as she has collaborated quite a bit with Hans Gissinger and Craig Cutler) was going to submit something inspired by her years working with Mr. Penn. I’m looking forward to that.

Tonight at the Lucies, they’ll also be naming the Photography Magazine of the Year from the following shortlist: Aperture, burn, C International Photo Magazine, Foam International Photography Magazine, GUP, Lunatic, and Nueva Luz Photographic Journal. Given how tough it is to produce a quality magazine—even an online one—in these economically unfavorable times, it’s extra nice to see these publications get a little limelight.
