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 berry from britain makes cameras from unusual materials. they print spaces through the lens of french photographer tivo fire me. but 1st we kick off this special edition with a swiss landscape for tar 1st stuff on 4 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 location secret here's why. images of iceland greenland and the faroe islands taken from
11:32 pm
a drone. by photographer and camera man stefan 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 humankind fault and how it will be after. and the way it should actually stay with human kind this is for music and very very important to me to show nature completely our blemished and to talk. for i get all the interest. in 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 very misty lied to far when people ask me
11:33 pm
how to make a futile full landscape photo or create a great atmosphere my answer is always the same dos 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 names 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 to munch up and all to up to it i think everyone has some place where they're totally happy. or me that place begins when the door closes behind all the while i can walk out into the words like you slow at some point the words were replaced by iceland i actually started walking across a day and only took my camera along to record my memories of this hot cuts how i got started with the target irish mayo it's more a by product of my love for nature. it's who i'm up to all. the renowned
11:34 pm
photographer who strives to reveal the beauty of the world around unadulterated if possible which 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 faroes and of course iceland.
11:35 pm
he selected 160 images out of some 600004 the volume not in easy task. for me she stressed me 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 switch my cellphone to the white rose went on and then i look through all the shots bam bam bam bam walk 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.
11:36 pm
if you know if you saw a flash and it takes many of these lichens and mosses 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 fostered concedes his photos to appeal to our emotions as much mission to oppose the feelings they evoke don't have to only be positive off there maybe a little sadness and melancholy makes sense all things must pass and nature shows us that all too well. often stephan foster explores yet untouched regions in search of film and photo motifs. keeps the exact location secret so as not to attract tourists. he considers that an
11:37 pm
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. and she's camera. that telephone box camera and it can pick camera all built by british photographer brendan barry let's start with a cheese. grater barry teaches photography in exeter in southwestern england.
11:38 pm
but he's more interested in the process than in the fascists themselves. so he built 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 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 for bruce lee in a different way but also the pictures that you take with them. it's surprisingly 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 out
11:39 pm
flock of sheep. and twisted into the have assigned and one of. the light passes through the lens and hits the photographic paper which can then be developed . it works just out. after just 2 hours of slicing and the cheese camera is ready for a time session brendan berry uses old polaroid film to bennett's itself $3.00 to $1.00. the from the user's out 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. and lego camera an accordion camera a lot camera and so on and so forth. he's even converted an entire campaign and equipped it with a darkroom. today brendan barry is taking his camper camera for
11:40 pm
a little drive through the country side of the car. came when i thought well if i can just be inside the camera i have a darkroom inside as well. and i could take my dog. car anywhere and then sort of being in a store space which was. everywhere else could be the. final preparations for a fashion shoot with. his mobile x x l camera. light is pouring through this lens and projected me outside world inside upside down if i move this focal point the closer away from the lens you see how different things come into focus. it's the same place breynton very positions the model and
11:41 pm
they're ready to shoot tiny bits you're right. past that so long for the moment. turn the lights off close the lens. get up and support a graph paper. in the paper. a time to sports. like an exposure opening and closing lines one. 3rd. he puts the photo through the 1st inside the camp and does the rest outside. it's incredible it's really nice because something interesting is 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 it would
11:42 pm
likely be using the periscope as a camera. software some of. his camera concepts may sound rather eccentric. but they do show a new perspective on photography. and they produce unbelievable images of. 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 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. they always
11:43 pm
have a central point of view and that the churches are always and team. so my goal is are just to create this 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 the steel the lighting is very very interesting and ever 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
11:44 pm
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. feeling of you know all the different churches. t.-bone 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
11:45 pm
a few that are kind of famous but most of them are not so it's it's mainly finding 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 what this is notional done to lash to learn young a cube shaped church on the outskirts of paris. to those approaches 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
11:46 pm
photo series is his most famous work to date. it's a specific space that everybody understand 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 you when i'm alone in these pieces 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
11:47 pm
for you when you're there and you can witness it for you know however you perceive it. and in 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 donagh as photo series break fast.
11:48 pm
the spanish photographer takes foods in ordinary objects and uses them to produce extraordinary pictures. if you need any that last 3 would use to describe my work on this. particular vehicle and up said. of sort of. efforts result in sue real compositions like an egg being shocked with i mean ition. 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. because photos have little in common with plastic food photography. by the one
11:49 pm
then ok sit up straight and show how much you like the shoe. bag you know i have in my kitchen is the food usually looks a little out of playing sports though as eve never seen it before in a way he asked they got enough it's been taken out of context and they say it overtly staged. it for i know what 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 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 all her trademarks and food as have favorite subject sometimes eccentric sometimes provokingly stage the biggest challenge is to make it look fresh and perfect. in the heart of why or for
11:50 pm
a photo of the perfect egg is one that shines as a nice color and isn't overcooked. again of course we edit the pictures later but in general the glossy and fulla the better. just photographing the sandwich would be too simple instead. formed into nail polish because i'm usually stories are guaranteed to attract attention. and it's getting us i guess that's a casing patches are a dime a dozen are the incidents one of them that you hear so a lot 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 to sedona those photos will leave you hungry for more.
11:51 pm
when you think of the alps normally images of hiking or skiing come to mind when german for tara for stuff on head for goes out into the mountains he's looking for something completely different he's fascinated by abandoned buildings or so-called lost sleigh says 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 here fully explores places like this with his friend felix who says in the extended their histories. of the superman perfect here you can clearly see
11:52 pm
the roof is caved in the windows are broken insistence of the planet or is crumbling from the walls of this altogether 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. is myth of a bit and i want my pictures to reflect what i feel when i enter places like these it's a little scary and i get a queasy feeling that our hearts pounding i get a shot of adrenaline from 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 leal it but rather have more atmosphere like in landscape photography shot this question still. carefully travels the world as
11:53 pm
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 abandon houseless 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. 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.
11:54 pm
steffen halfling never works alone. its fight is not as well 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 4 door severing 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 her family's methods is to scan satellite photos on the internet. postings from here you can see the places abandoned doesn't even have a roof. it can be just that simple yet it is hard for it's harder you can browse certain blogs on the subject than you can find
11:55 pm
a lot so those that still haven't tackled grooved center are still nice on the inside and there's nothing more to see here or you happen to pass them by going to find something much intensified. stefania if allays photos document traces of civilization that time is gradually erasing. his works are a kind of monument to abandoned place since. our that we come to the end of this special edition on the fascinating world of fred tiger fee 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.
