Memories of an unforgettable Summer

Max has asked us to realize two new videos containing some of the most beautiful pictures he did during his Summer stay in south France.
We are proud to announce the premiere of the first of these two videos on our YouTube channel for Sunday at 20:00 MEZ.
The video will feature photos of Belle, Bilitis, Kia, Lycil and Yuna together with Ennio Morricone’s masterpiece For love one can die..

What Max says:

This summer produced some of the most beautiful pictures. I really enjoyed the days with the girls and will forever remember the time with them. I hope you all enjoy the pictures as much as I do.
At the moment I am working on some exhibitions and I am already organizing some new photographic adventures with the girls.
We will go to Florence and meet some interesting people there. Among others the writer Olivier Mathieu and the well known photographer Corrado Pinci, former collaborator of the famous photographer Angelo Frontoni, who unfortunately died in the meantime. We all have a hang for romantic photography and I will also talk with Corrado about a future project together.
Until May I will photograph a few more girls and then go back to the south for a longer period of time, where the light and the landscape allow me to take the most beautiful pictures and inspire my creativity. Until then I wish you all much joy with my pictures and would be happy to welcome some of you at my exhibitions.

Fields of Poppies, the mediterranean sea, beautiful gardens and the ruins of an old farmhouse among others are the places where Max shot the pictures presented in this video.

For the music Max chose Frédéric Chopin’s Nocturne, the No. 2 from Opus 27. A perfect choice as we think.

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.
