Florian Glechner (54) is a photographer from Austria. He started steeming in September 2017 and I like the way he uses his Nikon D5100 very much. I will present you a couple of his photographs and I strongly encourage you to check his work out for yourself.

These photographs are HIS original work and I have absolutely nothing to do with them.

Famous Photographer - Irving Penn

---

Irving Penn (June 16, 1917 – October 7, 2009) was an American photographer known for his fashion photography, portraits, and still lifes. Many of the most iconic fashion photographs ever taken can be credited to Irving Penn. Working with clients such as Vogue and Clinique, his work has been published globally. Considered to be a technical master, Penn would utilise a variety of camera, printing processes and methods to capture his imagery. Penn was among the first photographers to pose subjects against a simple grey or white backdrop and he effectively used this simplicity. Expanding his austere studio surroundings, Penn constructed a set of upright angled backdrops, to form a stark, acute corner. Subjects photographed with this technique included Martha Graham, Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, Georgia O'Keeffe, W. H. Auden, and Igor Stravinsky.

His personal philosophy was: "A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart, and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it; it is in one word, effective." or "Sensitive people faced with the prospect of a camera portrait put on a face they think is one they would like to show the world. ...Very often what lies behind the facade is rare and more wonderful than the subject knows or dares to believe."

Must-watch - One Hour Photo (2002)

---

Drama/Thriller - 1h 38m
Release Date: August 21, 2002 (USA) / Director: Mark Romanek
''Casual shoppers stocking up at the local SavMart may not pay much attention to the man at the photo counter. In fact, they may not even see him. Sy Parrish (Robin Williams), a lonely technician, is a store fixture who develops an unsettling obsession with the Yorkin family, long-time customers.''
You will possibly find this movie entertaining and switching to a digital camera reasonable.
