Peter Lik Photographer--WlRN TV CH 17 ARTSTREET

[appacana]

a scanned film has more detail than the digital equivalent. that is why he is always using his Linhof.

[ElliottckHull]

I wonder if he is even the one who processes his shots...

[ronaldov09]

Who give a flying f@#k if the images are processed,HDR,too much saturation,cliche....the masses love his work,they pay through the roof to have his images and he makes more than anyone of us here doing what he loves!!

[geonerd]

If his prints really reflect the scene he sees, the man must have mutant retinas with twice the cones of normal people. Most folks look at his stuff and immediately think "BFD, he just cranked the saturation to 11." Even the 'old' high saturation slide films cannot begin to produce the sort of Crayola colors this guy likes.

What is the first panoramic camera that he has in there? The one that he attach the medium format digital back to. And how does he set that up? I would really like to do nature photography like he does it. So if there are any suggestions on other set ups that I can afford, I am all ears.

@Jawsjawsjawsrg Looks like is an Alpa body. Gear like that is crazy expensive which, as you can probably tell, doesn't really stop Peter Lik (his printer setup is over $1M). For the little guy wanting to shoot panos though, consider investing in tilt-shift lens or, if you want to shoot film, a more affordable pano camera. Perhaps something like Fuji or fotoman's 617. Or Linhof's 617 but that'll run you close to $10k.

This is very interesting. If you ask anyone working in a Lik gallery, they will tell you that he uses no Photoshop at all. At least here he clarifies things.

[opusnumberken]

@zavatone yes, but someone like yourself with a limited eye that only sees the surface of a work of art can not see the true spirit of what the artist is portraying, his process has true meaning, sorry you can't see that.

[opusnumberken]

What a great artist and human being, his work is authentic to God's creation, well done mate!

[zavatone]

@opusnumberken God's creation? His work is heavily post processed unless you can't tell.

[DylanFoxPhotography]

@zavatone photographs have always been heavily processed. Do some reading into Ansel Adams skills in the dark room!

[zavatone]

@DylanFoxPhotography Yeah, but take a look at Mangelsen's work. Close up if you can. It has much less of the processed look. We ALL process our photos, but you and I know that the trick is to make it look how people want to see it without making it look overly processed.

[Iamthelightofthestar]

I prefer mbmarconi com his work is also beautiful and affordable

[Iamthelightofthestar]

[flodamanatee]

[paclopes100]
