hello and welcome to the special edition of your own max with me your host meghan lee today we are focusing on the world of photography here's a look at what else is coming up. brendan berry from britain who makes cameras from unusual materials. sacred spaces and through the lens of french photographer t.v. so far he knew. well 1st we kick off this special edition with a swiss landscape for tar 1st stuff on for star who heads out into nature sometimes for weeks on end to get the perfect shot he uses both his camera and a drone to capture images of pristine landscapes without trying to optimize them with filters now while many of the places are recognizable 1st star tries to keep some of the locations secret here's why. images of iceland greenland and the faroe islands taken from
5:32 am
a drone. my photographer and camera man stephan foster he sets out to capture nature's finest moments. of modern art in my images and film productions trying to show people the world the way it was before humans can fold them and how it will be after you know. and the way it should actually stay with human this is for me to come very very important to you to show nature completely. to talk. for i get almost. the northern lights over icebergs in southern greenland. flamingos after a storm in the highlands of chile. foster spends about 7 months a year on photo safaris. i was a bit misty lloyd to far when people ask me how to make your beautiful landscape
5:33 am
photo or create a great atmosphere my answer is always the same dress them more often you come to a place the better you get to know it and the better your chances are of being able to capture that special picture and that's a pacific new place the small dolphins who can. define fausta on a hike near his hometown vienna in eastern switzerland to him experiencing nature means sensing himself as part of it something that fascinated him even as a boy. thank you the man chucking all walked out i think everyone has some place where they're totally happy. for me that place begins when the door closes behind me but i can walk out into the woods like you slide some point in the woods were replaced by iceland i actually started walking across a day and only because my camera along to record my memories and cuts how i got started with the top irish male it's more a by product of my love for nature. to all. the renowned photographer
5:34 am
strives to reveal the beauty of the world around unadulterated if possible he may use filters on occasion and process his images but he refuses to manipulate the colors. the rocky mountains in canada. and back to iceland again in particular stephan foster is attracted to the rugged landscapes of the high north he returns to them again and again. he's devoted an entire photo book to the region nordic islands with images from over 80 trips to greenland norway the faroes and of course iceland.
5:35 am
he selected 160 images out of some 600004 the volume not in easy task. finishes doesn't he still shooting at this isn't the best part of the worst for me is that all since the best part is being outdoors. i've always been that way and i'm fairly unemotional i lock the door to my office and my studio and switch my cellphone to the light loads and then i look through all the shots bam bam bam bam look but i don't spend much time evaluating them and b if an image doesn't jump out at me right away it's gone up to spec. these days fausta shoots about 40 percent of his photos from a drone his aerial images appear in international documentaries the flying camera has the added advantage of not leaving any tracks on iceland's most for instance.
5:36 am
if you let yourself flesh and it takes many of these lichens and losses in the north decades or even centuries to grow and if i come along in my heavy hiking boots and 90 kilos of weight and walk on the course everything would get destroyed cellists a story. the photographer knows all too well that in many places the pristine nature he's looking for no longer exists it's been altered and often endangered by human activity vostok concedes his photos to appeal to our emotions as most national polls the feelings they evoke don't have to only be positive off there may be a little sadness and melancholy mixed and all things must pass this is for and nature shows us that it's all too well. off and she doesn't foster explores yet untouched regions in search of film and photo motifs. many. keeps the exact location secret so as not to attract tourists. he considers that an
5:37 am
obligation to show the beauty of our planet and how much he needs protecting. say cheese as you know and that is the typical phrase we use 1st smiling when taking a picture well british photographer brendan berry perhaps took this thing too literally he builds his own cameras using all kinds of materials but perhaps the most interesting and unique one is out of cheese but how good is the photo quality of a so-called cheese camera well that is something we had to see for ourselves. cheese camera. telephone box camera. and can take camera all built by british photographer brendan barry let's start with the cheese.
5:38 am
brandon barry teaches photography in exeter in southwestern england. but he's more interested in the process than in the fascists themselves so he builds his own cameras with all possible and impossible materials. today a camera made of cheese. the one thing i like to do. is kind of play with people's preconceptions an understanding of what cameron is and what it can do. when you make a camera of a block of something that people don't usually expect they respond. to the camera so far bristly in a different way but also the pictures that you take with them. it's trying to make easy to build the camera like this but it's not so easy on the net. a frame for the light sensitive paper is screwed to one side of the hunted up. and
5:39 am
twisted into the other signed and one of. the light passes through the lens and hits the photographic paper which can then be developed. and works stressed out. after just 2 hours of slicing and putting the cheese cameras ready for a touch of session brendan barry uses old polaroid film develops itself. to. the film or using is out of date right now they start making about 10 years ago i've kept my fridge since then which we're using today so the effects could be all over the place. and lego camera an accordion camera along camera and so on then settle for. easy to convey an entire camp and equipped it with a darkroom. today brandon barry's taking his camper camera for
5:40 am
a little drive through the country side. of the car. came on i thought well if i can just be inside the camera and have a dark room inside as well i have on. and i could take my dog. car anyway and sort of being in a sore space which was the. everywhere else can be the. final preparations for a fashion shoot with his mobile x x l camera. light is pouring through this lens and projecting the outside world inside upside down if i move this focal point further closer away from the. you see how different things come into focus. it's the same place breynton very positions the model and
5:41 am
they're ready to shoot tiny bit too right. prospect so long for the moment. turning the lights off close the lens. kind of things a photographic paper around. the time since those bones. are like an exposure opening and closing. one. 3rd. he puts the pressure through the 1st inside the camp and does the rest outside. it's incredible it's really nice because something interesting is incredible photographs. even a telephone box can become a camera and then it is already planning to repurpose many other objects to. want to do it but it's calmer one day. a double decker bus submarine because we'd like
5:42 am
leave but using the periscope as a camera. so are. his camera concepts may sound rather eccentric. but they do show a new perspective on photography. they produce unbelievable images. designing and building churches has probably always been one of the most challenging feats in architecture . is from france and a devoted churchgoer although not so much because he's religious he visits them as a travelling for torah for and is always on the lookout for new motifs. for me it's definitely the architecture and the power of this modern architecture through the 20th century. i always
5:43 am
have a central point of view and that the churches are always empty. so my goal is really just to create a sort of. feeling so that people can you know immerse themselves in the architecture. people quarrying seeks out modern churches around the world for his photo series sacred spaces. like notre dame to try in paris it's original it's different from anything you could have seen and also it has this visual impact with the difference of materials with the you know the wood to steal the lighting is very very interesting and ever ever present. you know the workers of that era so it also has a very emotional. impact i think on the whole neighborhood. this
5:44 am
perspective presents the architecture in the best possible light. and yeah you see in this one what's really beautiful is that the pillars are you know all aligned so you really want them to be you know popping out of the photo so in that way you know the architecture speaks for itself there is no destructions it's always the same the same angle and when you put them all you know next to each other they're all very different but you get a cohesive. shieling of you know all the different churches. tivo portrays lives in paris he discovered his passion for modern churches 4 years ago since then he's photographed 36 of them in europe and asia. the most difficult part is finding them. because. when you start the series basically you start from 0 and there is
5:45 am
a few that are kind of famous but most of them are not so it's it's mainly finding . all the churches in the remote spaces so you would maybe never passed by and you would actually not imagine what this is like maybe offices but not really. maybe a museum of why this is no short time to last alone young a cube shaped church on the outskirts of paris. she bows approach is always the same he looks around chooses a point of view and takes a single shot. that's it. at home he makes only minor corrections to the image most of the work is already done to mow is actually an interior designer and for him photography is just a hobby. yes his photo series have attracted attention around the globe. since 2015 probably has also been taking pictures of libraries around the world this
5:46 am
photo series is his most famous work to date. it's a specific space that everybody understands you know libraries or churches everybody's been there at least once in their lives. and they were made for a specific reason and so what i really find interesting how these architects have you know created. you know these different buildings but with the same the same purpose. one of his favorite churches is no to a dom do not sell it in paris he feels that the round concrete structure emanates a sense of tranquility. i guess i'm a pretty cool guy i mean i like it when i'm alone in the spaces because you actually get to experience the architecture in a very different way you know. it's just but it seems like it's been built just for
5:47 am
you when you're there and you can witness it for you know however you perceive it. and in the photos that people can imagine themselves in in the picture. people point to his photo series sacred spaces a testament to faith in the power of modern architecture. when you take pictures of food you want to get people's mouths watering but one spanish for target for is targeting different emotions and her images make us look twice now they are collaterally compose works of art rich in color and whimsical ideas well food still plays a key role in her work but not as you might expect. split up the word breakfast and this is what you might end up with. these images are from tesla donagh as photo series great fast.
5:48 am
despite his photographer takes foods an ordinary objects and uses them to produce extraordinary pictures. if you need any that last 3 woodstock used to describe my work. particularly at the end up said. of sort of. efforts result in sue real compositions like an egg being shocked with ammunition. pancakes cooked with an iron rather than a frying pan. today taking photos to advertise a shopping mall in madrid as the campaign's creative director she's to produce for images that will grace posters and appear on social media don't because photos have little in common with plastic food photography. provided the one
5:49 am
they're ok sit up straight and show how much you like the shoe. that will go on over there in my home you know the food usually looks a little out of place course as you've never seen it before in a way yes. they got enough it's been taken out of context and they say it overtly staged. for a walk here we have a model i you know i know fashion and a campaign there that deals with it but in a playful way. discovered her passion for photography in film while she was studying art in 2015 she founded her own agency she shoots commercials and produces for 2 series for magazines. still colors and minimalist composition all her trademarks and food is her favorite subject sometimes eccentric sometimes provokingly stage the biggest challenge is to make it look fresh and perfect. in a lot of well for
5:50 am
a photo of the perfect day is one that shines as a nice color and isn't overcooked i'm going to forget of course we added the pictures later but in general the glossy and fuller the better. just photographing the sandwich would be too simple instead the your construct. formed into nail polish because unusual stories are guaranteed to attract attention . and i suspect yes i guess that's a casing patches are a dime a dozen or the incidents one of them is that you hear so it again today everyone has a smartphone and takes photos. so it's become harder to tell a funny story or set yourself apart from the crowd around. whether it's breakfast lunch or dinner tested only those photos will leave you hungry for more.
5:51 am
when you think of the alps normally images of hiking or skiing come to mind when german for tog refer stuff on hey fellow goes out into the mountains he's looking for something completely different he's fascinated by abandoned buildings or so-called last places his photos cannot save them from decay but at least he can preserve their memory. ruins in deserted places have always held a magical fascination for people. they make us wonder who once lived in them and what happened to them. stephanie explores places like this with his friend felix closer in looks into their histories. of the superman perfect here you can clearly see the roof
5:52 am
is caved in the windows are broken its essence of the plaster is crumbling from the walls all together it makes for some beautiful photos. the tooth. built in the 1920 s. it served as a summer camp it's almost as if we can still hear the children laughing and playing who spent their summer vacations here until the late night team seventy's. if most of them didn't i want my pictures to reflect what i feel when i enter places like these it's a little scary i get a queasy feeling or hearts pounding i get a shot of adrenaline and it's exactly this feeling i'd like to reproduce in light and shade i want people to see that in the photos in the story i shouldn't even leave but rather have more atmosphere like a landscape photography shot this question still. heavily travels the world as
5:53 am
a professional landscape photographer he brings back images like this one of the grand canyon. and the jungles of hawaii many of his pictures have won awards he's widely recognized as one of the world's leading landscape photographers. heavily has been fascinated by abandoned houses since childhood he's published his discoveries in a book of photos. once splendid villas. first world war bunkers. hidden chapels. and factories where no machine has operated for decades. and. he doesn't say exactly where he finds the abandoned buildings so they won't be overrun by visitors. also many of these buildings are in decay and hazardous and most are hard to reach.
5:54 am
stephan heavily never works alone. its widest most visible for me but it's better to go in with someone even when i'm just photographing my landscapes if something were to happen or if someone broke afford to restrain the ankle it's safer but i'm lucky that it's never happened to me no major injuries but it's better to have a good pair along those able to help you. finding motifs takes some effort and detective work one of his methods is to scan satellite photos on the internet. postings from here you can see the places abandoned it doesn't even have a roof. it can be just that simple reality is more if it's harder you can browse certain blogs on the subject how can you can find
5:55 am
a lot so that's still intact roof center still nice on the inside and there's nothing more to see here or you happen to pass by and find something much chance. steffen have phileas photos document traces of civilization that time is gradually a race saying. his works are a kind of monument to abandoned places. our that we come to the end of this special edition on the fascinating world of fred tiger feet but before we go just a quick reminder to follow us on social media or check out our website for more information about the show for me and the rest of us here in berlin as always thanks for watching we'll see you again soon.
