Advice to Young Photographers from the Magnum Master Abbas.

Abbas Exhibition Buddhism

I found a series of questions that Magnum threw to their established photographers that covered “Advice to young photographers”. Their advice is inspiring as it actually comes from the top of the photographry world. People whom create through breathing photography.

The first gentleman off the rank was Abbas, whom recently released a book covering one of my favorite topics Religion. In particular  “Les Enfants du lotus, voyage chez les bouddhistes”  which focuses on religion.

Abbas

“My photography is a reflection, which comes to life in action and leads to meditation. Spontaneity – the suspended moment – intervenes during action, in the viewfinder.”

When did you first get excited about photography?
Upon birth

What advice would you give young photographers?
Get a good pair of walking shoes and…fall in love

More bits of gold to come!
