Barbara Alper: In Conversation - Vintage Prints

Barbara Alper’s long career as a photojournalist, street photographer, and fine art photographer is well-represented in our selection of items available through our partnership with Getty Images Gallery. Now, Barbara is opening her personal photo archive to offer collectors access to a selection of vintage prints.

Barbara and I got together via Zoom to talk about her art practice and some favourite pictures from her archives. We covered a lot of ground, which I’ve broken up into two elements; a 15-minute video tour of vintage prints conducted by Barbara from her studio in New York City, followed by additional transcribed commentary from Barbara outlining aspects of her life and career.

While making art, she completed an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, followed by a PhD focused on feminist practice in online culture at University College, Dublin...

Shane outlined a concept for a company that will holistically nurture artists and their practices - as an exhibition venue, agency, and creative studio - while identifying and cultivating opportunities for collaborations with a global network of creatives. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that Shane had my complete attention...

In Conversation: Chris Thomaidis

We welcomed Chris Thomaidis to our roster of FFOTO Exclusive artists after discovering his refined artistic sensibility and ongoing curiosity for where the camera might lead him. His successful career as a commercial photographer complemented a dedicated, parallel fine-art practice that he has come to make his creative priority in recent years. I met with Chris (via Zoom, of course) to talk about his art practice. We covered a lot of territory – from discussing how Chris found his way to becoming an artist, his time as a commercial photographer and how that honed his observational skills, artistic inspirations, and more...
