About Roland Jaccard, Dawn Dunlap and beautiful Stella

Today we will fight the boredom of your isolation with a good shot of literature, a small video of a very interesting man and of course a lot of beautiful girls.

Do you know Roland Jaccard?
The Swiss writer?

Not only did he write books like “The Inner Exile”, “Freud” and “The Madness”, (yes, you’re right, he is a psychologist) which are also in Max’s library by the way, but he is also a big fan of Dawn Dunlap, the actress who played the role of Laura in “Laura, Shadows of a Summer” by David Hamilton.

Visit Roland Jaccard’s blog or read his column in the magazine “Causeur” and enjoy his refreshingly sarcastic, cynical and often nihilistic world view.

He also has a YouTube channel where another of his short videos has just been published.

Although it’s not easy to take pictures of beautiful girls these days, Max has managed to get a real beauty in front of the lens.

Stella, so her name, was already planned for Max’s trip to Florence together with Manouk and Bilitis. But unfortunately, as everyone can imagine, this trip, which would have resulted in some really extraordinary pictures, had to be cancelled.
So we are left with only a few pictures that were taken during a first test shooting with Max.
We don’t want to withhold these pictures from you as a further measure against possible boredom or even depressions caused by isolation.
You can be sure that these are not the last pictures of Stella!

Olivier Mathieu has written a very interesting book about Dawn Dunlap.
As we can see, this beautiful woman has obviously stayed in the minds of many men (and certainly also some women) until today.
Read here on the page of Olivier Mathieu and order his novel about Dawn Dunlap against the boredom of isolation.
It is also recommended to watch her film “Laura, shadows of a summer”, directed by David Hamilton.

“Reflections” was shot by Max just a couple of days ago while strolling through the meadows and woods together with Bilitis and Stella.

Max says:

“I hope you enjoyed today’s article on my blog.
Read in the books of Roland Jaccard and Olivier Mathieu and if you like my pictures order one or the other of them for your home and let yourself be carried away into a world of beauty and romantic dreams. You will be surprised how good that feels.
By the way, Stella is not only very pretty but also an extraordinary interesting personality. I am already very much looking forward to dedicate a really large photo gallery to her.

All pictures you see here can be ordered now. As always on best paper and of course personally titled, numbered and signed by me.

And since we are celebrating David Hamilton’s birthday today, we are giving a 15% discount on every order placed until April 15th at 23:59 (UTC+2).

Gladly Bilitis also accepts your special wishes.
Simply write to her.

The Good And The Bad News

Today we have good and bad news for you.

Max’s philosophy is that it’s better to hear the bad news first.
Well, here they are. Due to the current crisis we have to cancel all exhibitions until after the summer.

Max also had to cancel his trip to Florence over the Easter week.
This is heartbreaking as we wanted to visit Olivier Mathieu and we also wanted to meet with Corrado Pinci who was the assistant of star photographer Angelo Frontoni. Corrado and Max have planned to publish a book with romantic photographies together. All this is now delayed until the crisis has ended.

We strongly recommend to visit the blog of Olivier Mathieu.
His books, which are blessed with incredible writing skills, and his interesting blog will banish your boredom in isolation in no time.

It is also merely possible to go on a shooting trip for Max because of the extensive curfews. But we try our best and maybe there is a ray of hope soon.

The good news are, we have a very new and very beautiful jeune fille for you. Max met her before the crisis really started and they already did a short photo shoot together. We will not reveal her name yet, but soon there will be a post with the first pictures here.

We are also pleased to inform you that the online shop is open without restrictions. However, there may be slight delays in shipping the pictures due to the current situation.

So why not just buy one of Max’s beautiful pictures and decorate your home with it! Maybe this will help you to get over this unpleasant time of isolation.

The pictures you see in this post have been done by Max just before the crisis started. It was one of the first days with a bit of sun after several weeks of constant rain. We love these pictures very much. They truly look like landscapes from a fairy tale.

Our thoughts are with you in this hard times and we hope Max’s pictures bring some joy into your heart!

Take care of yourself and stay healthy!

Soon this time will be over and new hamiltonian times will dawn.

Max Stolzenberg – The Polaroids Part I

In 1972 American physicist and industrial Edwin Herbert Land (1909-1991) introduced the SX-70 camera to the world.
From 1951 to 1954 Land was also president of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

The SX-70 camera was the first one to use integral film and made it possible to shoot and develop pictures in literally no time without the hassle of separation film.

Polaroid film has always fascinated all kind of artists from Andy Warhol to Helmut Newton and last but not least the true master of light David Hamilton.
On one occasion David told Max an interesting story about his meeting with Edwin Land.
Edwin had sponsored David with all kind of camera equipment and films, especially SX-70 film and cameras.

David showed Edwin his pictures, but when it came to the nudes his face dropped and as David said with a smile “That was it with Edwin Land. I didn’t get any sponsoring any more.”
You have to know that Edwin was a strictly religious mormon!

Despite that little anecdote David went on to use SX-70 film for some of his beautiful photos until his death in 2016.

Max is a big fan of integral film too. He always carries his 1974 SX-70 Land camera with him. The subtle low fidelity feeling, the muted colors and the artistic potential of this film are just magic.

 From today we want to feature his Polaroids with a new series of clips on our YouTube channel.

 

All pictures can be purchased as personally autographed and dry stamped prints (limited to 300 worldwide) from us.

The prices for the different sizes can be seen in the shop.

Simply write to Bilitis to place your order. She will help you through the ordering process.

 

 

 

Everlasting Beauty – Studio74

 

We invite you to visit our exhibition at the Studio74 during the weekend from 9th until 11th November 2018.
As always pictures of beautiful romantic jeunes filles are presented together with picturesque landscapes and haunting pictures of lost, rotten places.

Our pictures which have been produced under complicated and often dangerous conditions will carry you away into another world. The world of Max Stolzenberg’s photography.

Enjoy this trip together with us and a good glass of wine.

We are looking forward to your visit.
