REMINDER! Every artist develops their own method or practice of how they create work:
“Plunge into the Water: A Brief Look at 3 Photographic Practices”.
Join Stefan Frank in this one-session mini-workshop! @st.frank64
Sunday, Nov. 8 from 1-2:30pm ET.
$50
Live on Zoom!
ABOUT THIS 1-SESSION CLASS:
Every artist develops their own method or practice of how they create work. In this Mini-workshop, we’ll look at three different photographers (Eugène Atget, Robert Frank, and Diane Arbus) and try to understand how, with their individual photographic practices, they managed to change the course of photography.
The poet Stéphane Mallarmé described the approach to painting of Édouard Manet — who broke free from the conventions of academic painting — as akin to throwing yourself into the water to learn to swim: when Manet would begin a painting, he’d plunge headlong into it, not knowing in advance exactly how it will be painted, but discovering how to paint it through the act of painting itself. So follow along, hurl yourself into the water, and learn to swim!

We’re featuring work by Mikheil Kurdadze, an emerging photographer based in Tbilisi, Georgia. He recently participated in a StrudelmediaLive masterclass with Fred Ritchin. @misha.kurdadze
ABOUT MIKHEIL & HIS PHOTOS:
Mikheil’s interest in photography began at the age of eight, inspired by his sister’s participation in a documentary photography course. This early encounter sparked a lasting fascination with the medium, gradually evolving into an artistic practice that combines documentary observation with conceptual exploration.
Working across documentary and conceptual photography, Mikheil explores the complexities of human existence, the instability of perception, and the intricate relationship between memory and identity. Drawing on personal experiences, psychological states, and symbolic imagery, his work examines emotional detachment, fragmentation, longing, primal fears, and personal transformation.
His photographic practice is particularly concerned with the boundaries between inner reality and external perception, the familiar and the unfamiliar, the real and the imagined.
Moving between autobiographical narratives and abstract visual interpretations, he uses photography to give form to experiences that often resist language. Through this process, he questions the nature of existence, the subjectivity of memory, and the fragile foundations of our perceived reality.

FREE PHOTOBOOK EVENT on Nov 3 live on Zoom!
Join us for the 28th episode of Stefan Frank’s Photobook Show!
Episode 28: “Martin Waldbauer: Pathos and Patina”
@st.frank64 @martinwaldbauer @lichtung_verlag
Tue, Nov 3 at 2pm (ET) on Zoom
The work of German photographer Martin Waldbauer, with its gritty directness, has been compared to the confrontational street photography of Bruce Gilden. But rather than taking pictures on the streets of New York, Waldbauer photographs mostly in the Bavarian mountains and his subjects are farm workers, laborers, and vagabonds — people he’s met on the streets of sparsely populated villages, on their farms, and in their shops. These images of hard-working rural people and of the surrounding landscapes, combined with quiet still lifes, feel like they have fallen out from some other time.
In this episode of the Photobook Show we’ll look at Waldbauer’s work and how he calls upon the legacies of photographers like Josef Sudek and Andre Kertesz and brings them into our time.
In this series, StrudelmediaLive teacher Stefan Frank looks at recent and not-so-recent photobooks you might not know and how they advance this unique medium.

We’re featuring work by Christina Makoucha @xrstnxmx, a Greek photographer currently based in Utrecht, the Netherlands, where she is in her first year of studies at ArtEZ University of the Arts in Arnhem.
Christina recently took the StrudelmediaLive class “Let Movies Inspire Your Photography” with Anja Hitzenberger @anjahitze and Edward Ratliff @cineficar
ABOUT CHRISTINA’S WORK:
Christina’s practice explores the possibilities of photography and the ways in which an image can shift, distort and challenge our perception of reality. A recurring interest in her work is the creation of dream-like images that exist somewhere between the familiar and the imagined. Her photographs invite the viewer to wander through them and form their own interpretation of what they are seeing. By manipulating and reimagining reality, Christina explores how photography can reveal hidden or alternative truths that may already exist within the world around us.

In his monograph, Waldbauer invokes the ghosts of photography’s past to construct a complex German identity using his stark portraits and contrastingly quiet still lifes and landscapes of the Bavarian forests and mountains. In this episode of, we’ll look at his work and how he calls upon the legacies of photographers like Josef Sudek and Andre Kertesz and brings them into our time.
