Photophiles: Brian Bowen Smith x Juxtapoz Magazine
Here’s to a special twist on our Photophiles. Photographer Brian Bowen Smith has just staged a thrilling interview in the September issue of Juxtapoz Magazine; Contributor Gwynned Vitello pulled archive-worthy statements from the photographer…the kind of quotes that you re-post and share with loved ones, or simply read when the creative sparks are low. You know our reputation for being inspired by the creativity of another, right? This is the perfect example of just that. Photographing celebrities, campaigns and editorials may put the photographers we love (and oh do we love this one) on the map, but the real cherry on the pie is when we get the chance to dig further for a deeper connection to our musings. Gain some perspective from Brian’s eye, travel with him, and archive those quotes we talked about….when you…
“…I think assisting, especially the opportunity to do it with a bunch of different photographers, helps mold who you want to be as an artist.” — BBS, JUXTAPOZ MAG, 2011.
“…I will change a picture to black and white and know right away, yes, that’s dope.” — BBS, JUXTAPOZ MAGAZINE 2011
“The most important thing I learned from him [Herb Ritts] was how to deal with people. He treated everyone from the talent to the last grip with the upmost respect.” — BBS, JUXTAPOZ MAGAZINE, 2011
“Well, that place is magical. If you’ve ever been to Egypt, that is how everything feels….an air of quietude.” — BBS, JUXTAPOZ MAGAZINE, 2011
*A GIGANTIC THANK YOU TO COPIOUS MANAGEMENT AND BBS PHOTO STUDIO FOR ALL THE LOVE ON THIS*
