Kratochvil Interview Over at Photoshelter

Photoshelter blogger Rachel Hulin has a nice interview (here) with one of my all time favorite photographers, Antonin Kratochvil (he also sent me work from the road for the slide show which you can all see once I repair the problem). I love working with Antonin because although he appears to be tough as a bag full of hammers, in reality, he’s a very down to earth man who endearingly refers to everyone as “bitches.” Oh, and his pictures ROCK. His contact sheets are something to behold because there’s hardly any frames leading up to “the shot.” Talk about a tough edit, try editing 50 of his contact sheets down to 5 pictures in a magazine. Impossible.

    Kratochvil is amazing, indeed. I have to say, though, I didn’t expect that interview to end with an answer which included the phrase “hot beef soup”.

    Max – I was thinking the same thing – from Bono to Beef soup to Yum!

    Nevertheless, his work is truly outstanding. So raw.
