“Photography students are begging me to teach them about strobes and lights, but it’s all about what you see. It’s all about looking at light.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>Legendary photographer Deborah Feingold<\/a> joins the show to talk about the inspiration for her new personal project: photographing illustrators<\/a> (which is how we fell into each other’s orbit)! We get into her approach to teaching ‘Portraiture and the Art of Imitation<\/a>‘ at ICP, the process of learning through imitation and absorbing influence, how she moved from ‘professional girlfriend’ to ‘professional photographer’ in the ’70s while shooting pictures of jazz musicians<\/a>. We also talk about how she made the transition to digital photography while hewing to her film-shooting techniques, how she boldly directs her subjects despite being an incredibly shy person, the unspoken pressure to ape Annie Leibowitz’ style when she shot for Rolling Stone<\/em>, her stories of shooting early Madonna<\/a> and pre-presidency Obama<\/a>, finding the humanity in her subjects, and more! Give it a listen!<\/a> Also, go buy Deborah Feingold: Music<\/a>\"\", a collection of her musician portraits!<\/p>\n

“I have no fixed style, and that’s what’s kept my photography interesting.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
