The Legend lives – Eve Arnold

29. 08. 2014.Photo notes, GallerySrbija FOTO

Eve Arnold (1912-2012) is an American photojournalist and was the first female member of the Magnum Photos agency (in 1951, becoming a full member in 1957).

Arnold was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to immigrant Russian-Jewish parents, William (born Velvel Sklarski) and Bessie Cohen (born Bosya Laschiner).

Her interest in becoming a photographer began in 1946, when she worked for a photo-finishing plant in New York City. She briefly learned photographic skills in 1948 from Harper’s Bazaar art director, Alexei Brodovitch.

Arnold is best known for her benevolent, intimate images of actress Marilyn Monroe on the set of Monroe’s last (1961) film, The Misfits, but she took many photos of Monroe from 1951 onwards.

An exhibition of previously unseen photos of Monroe was displayed at the Halcyon Gallery in London in May 2005.

Marilyn trusted Arnold more than any other photographer, a relationship that is well-documented.

Due to Arnold’s sympathetic approach towards her subjects and protective nature of them afterwards, she is able to capture a closeness that is not easy for most others to capture. Not only has Arnold photographed VIPs such as Queen Elizabeth II, Malcolm X, and Joan Crawford, she has traveled extensively around the world, photographing in China, Russia, South Africa, and Afghanistan.

In 1980, she had her first solo exhibition which featured her photographic work in China at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City. She also did a series of portraits of American Presidents’ wives.

Functions

Sound
The Sound function is used, when you want to capture a moment in time using any kind of sound trigger. It can be used to capture, for example, balloon popping, breaking of glass, water splashes, etc. All of those event are great to see but only if you capture them. µ-Trigger will help you with that, to have a moment for ever.

Lighting
The Lightning function is used, when you want to trigger the camera by a change in the light level, for example with the flash from a lightning strike. You could also set it to capture the precise moment of sunrise or even a meteor shower. A popular way of using this function is to capture fireworks explosions.

Timelapse
The timelapse function is used, when you want to capture changes that happen over longer periods of time. By doing timelapse photography you essentially speed up an event and make it possible to observe it in a reasonable amount of time. Timelapse photography is fun to watch but is time consuming to make it. Timelapse function of µ-Trigger does most of the work for you. Just preset your time lapse parameters, lay back and enjoy!Timelapse function is perfect for star trails and for making timelapse movies, it’s a ‘set it and forget it’ mode, just ensure your batteries are charged and you have enough room on your memory card for all the shots you want.

HDR/BKT
The HDR function is used, when you want to trigger the camera to capture the same frame with a different time exposure. This captures multiple photographs at different exposure levels and combines them to produce a photo representative of a broader tonal range. HDR function lets you apply the HDR (High Dynamic Range) technique to your shots very easily. µ-Trigger helps you with fast settings for such photography.

Laser
The Laser function is used, when you want to trigger the camera with a “laser trap”. To set a “laser trap” you need to position a laser and align the laser beam with the receiver on the µ-Trigger. When the beam is broken (or weakened – you can set the sensitivity of the sensor) it will trigger the camera. Because of the properties of a laser beam you can position the laser far away from the µ-Trigger. A great way to use the laser function is to capture very fast moving objects, but don’t let this limit your imagination.

Do It Yourself
For the inventor in you! Create a new type of triggering mechanism and use it to capture moments in a different way. You can set the µ-Trigger to trigger in very specific events and so filter out the undesired situations. For example, you could set up a device to trigger in the event of a specific tone pitch, thus capturing a rare bird species or use a pressure sensor to capture a rain drop… The possibilities are endless. Experiment!

Manual
The manual function enables you to manually trigger your camera from a distance. Just click on start to instantaneously trigger the camera. With this mode you will not need the shutter cable anymore or set “timer” mode to have a clear photo.
