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. how brendan barry from britain remains cameras from unusual materials. safe print spaces through the lens of french for tongue her teeth for farming me cry. but 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
10:32 am
a drone. by 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't fault them and how it will be after humankind. and the way it should actually stay with human this is for me very very important for you to show nature completely. 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 lied to fall when people asked me how to make of you to feel landscape
10:33 am
photo or create a great atmosphere my answer is always the same gloss one of the 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 the civic place of the small golf names who can. define fausta on a hike near his hometown vienna in eastern switzerland to him experiencing nature means sense of himself as part of it something that fascinated him even as a boy. thank you so much up and all that walked with i think everyone has some place where they're totally happy. for me that place begins when the door closes behind and walk out into the woods like you slide some point in the woods were replaced by iceland walk allow for i actually started walking across a debate and only because my camera along to record my memories and just how cuts how i got started with photography i wish mayo it's more a by product of my love for nature. it's who i'm up to all. the renowned
10:34 am
photographer 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 devon fossa 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 pharaohs and of course iceland.
10:35 am
he selected 160 images out of some 600004 the volume not in easy task. finishes doesn't he still showing that 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 such my cell phone to the white rose and then i look through all the shots bam bam bam bam walk because i don't spend much time evaluating them and b. if an image doesn't jump out at me right away it's got 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 maass for instance.
10:36 am
if you know if you saw a flash 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 of. 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 foster concedes his photos to appeal to our emotions as mission to oppose the feelings they evoke don't have to only be positive off the air maybe a little sadness and melancholy makes sense all things must pass this is for and nature shows us that it's all too well. off and different foster explores yet untouched regions in search of film and photo motifs . but in. keeps the exact location secret so as not to attract tourists.
10:37 am
he considers that an 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 camper camera all built by british photographer brendan barry let's start with a cheese. grater in barrie teaches photography in exeter in southwestern england.
10:38 am
but he's more interested in the process than in the fashions themselves. so he builds his own cameras with all possible and impossible materials. today a camera made of cheese. one thing i like to do. is kind of play with people's preconceptions an understanding of what cameras 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 to the camera so publicly in a different way but also the pictures that you take whether. it's surprisingly easy to build the camera like this but it's not so easy on the net is. a frame for the light sensitive paper is screwed to one side of the hunted out
10:39 am
block of cheese and twisted into the have assigned and one of. the like passes through the lens and hits the photographic paper which can then be defended . oh it works it's just out. after just 2 hours of slicing in facing the cheese camera is ready for a 30 session brendan barry uses old polaroid film that develops itself 3 to. the from the user's out they run out 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. in lego camera and a cool. camera camera and so on then settle for. even converted an entire campaign and equipped it with a darkroom of its. day brandon barry's taking his camper camera for
10:40 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 darkroom inside as well i have on wheels and i could take my dog. car anywhere and sort of being in a store space which was the studio everywhere else can be the. final preparations for a fashion shoot with his mobile x x l camera. so light is pouring through this lens and projected me outside world inside upside down if i move this focal point further closer away from the. you see how different things come into focus. place friend and barry positions the
10:41 am
model and they're ready to shoot tiny bits you're right. but so long for the moment. turning the lights off close down the lens. of his photograph and paper around. times at this point. will make an exposure by opening and closing. while. 3rd. he puts the poster through the 1st inside the camp and does the rest outside. it's incredible it's really nice we pose something interesting it's an incredible photograph. even a telephone box can become a camera and print it is already planning to repurpose many other objects to. owners of boats but camera one day. a double decker bus submarine because like
10:42 am
but using the periscope as a camera. his camera concepts may sound rather eccentric. but they do show a new perspective on photography. and 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 traveling photographer 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. they always
10:43 am
have a central point of view and that the churches are always empty. so my goal is really just to create this sort of. feeling so that people can you know immerse himself in the architecture. book for years 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 you know the wood the steel the lighting is very very interesting and in her it represents the. you know the workers of that era so it also has a very emotional. impact i think on the whole neighborhood. this
10:44 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. to put me 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 a few that are kind of famous but most of them are not so it's it's mainly finding
10:45 am
all the 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. this is no tour done to lash to learn young a-q. shaped church on the outskirts of paris. she goes 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. chemo 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
10:46 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 notre dame 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 these places because you actually get to experience the architecture in a very different way you know. it's just for you it seems like it's been built just
10:47 am
for you when you're there and you can witness it for an hour you perceive it. and then the photos 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 tang 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 tessa donna goes photo series break fast.
10:48 am
the spanish for talk of a takes foods an ordinary objects and uses them to produce extraordinary pictures. if you need any that last 3 would sound used to describe my work on. a particular day and up said. efforts result in sue real compositions like an egg being shocked with ammunition. pancakes cooked with a minor 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. because photos have little in common with plastic food photography. provided the one
10:49 am
day i'm ok sit up straight and show how much you like the shoe. that will go i have in my home you know the food usually looks a little out of playing sports though as eve never seen it before in a way as the get out of iraq which is it's been taken out of context and they say it overtly staged. it for you know what hey we have a model i you know i know fashion and a campaign there that deals with you don't put it in a playful way. discovered her passion for photography and film while she was studying art in 2015 she founded her own agency she shoots commercials and produces for 2 series for magazines. national colors and minimalist composition off her trademarks and foodies have a favorite subject sometimes eccentric sometimes provokingly stage the biggest challenge is to make it look fresh and perfect. in minnesota where
10:50 am
for a photo of the perfect is one election as a nice color and isn't overcooked for a good of course we edit the pictures later but in general the glossy and fulla the bags are. just photographing the sun which would be too simple instead of the yolk is strong. formed into nail polish because i'm usually stories are guaranteed to attract attention. and it's beneath us i guess that's a casing patches are a dime a dozen are the incidents one of them is that you know yourself again and today everyone has a smartphone and takes photos that are getting at so it's become harder to tell a funny story or set yourself apart from the crowd around. whether respect 1st lunch or dinner don't like those photos will leave you hungry for more.
10:51 am
when you think of the alps normally images of hiking or skiing come to mind when german for tog refer stuff on head follow it 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. stephan halfling explores places like this with his friend felix who said in looks into their histories. you know the sequence perfect here you can clearly see the

staff. unhealthful a never works alone. despite as much as all for me 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 a ford or some rain 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 car along with able to help you. finding motifs takes some effort and detective work one of helpful a's methods is to scan satellite photos on the internet. listings for the us in the spirit you can see the places abandoned it doesn't even have a roof. it can be just that simple yet it is more if it's harder you can browse certain blogs on the subject and you can find
