Buk poster

[bogdan]

Just bought this poster from eBay and I wonder who the photographer is, as it's not mentioned by the seller. Is it Montfort?

 

[roni]

yeah. This is definitely a Montfort-shot!

(There's a bunch of proof, if you want it.)

 

[bogdan]

Thanks Roni. I knew the picture from the cover of Sounes' biography (one of the several editions available), but I don't own it, so I couldn't check the credits. Maybe it was also published somewhere else, I don't know. But if you say it's a Montfort I believe you, no further proof needed :)

If roni says its Montfort, then it must be.

Although, my first thought was that it was by Herb Ritts for Interview Magazine :)

But I'm assuming S****s claims the rights to it. :rolleyes:

 

[Bukfan]

Come on! S****s would never claim the rights to a photo he did'nt shoot himself. :rolleyes:

Is the title of that photo really, "I Will Now Eat My Fingers"?

 

[mjp]

Ha ha - no, I stuck the image into the thread and gave the file that name.

 

[roni]

I stand corrected !!!

uh oh! I made a mistake!
There is a series by Montfort from the same time that has exactly this look and feel, the lightning, the perspective, the closeness - but this is NOT a Montfort-shot from this series!

It is a Herb Ritts photograph!

sorry folks!

 

[hank solo]

roni, really, how could you?! I believed in you roni... I believed :)

 

[roni]

yeah, I know.
I was too fast with my answer and a bit drunk and too lazy to really check.

At least, I am the first to admit when I made a mistake.

Will you still believe in me, grasshopper? I'll show you the marvels of the universe!

 

[Ponder]

a bit drunk

Du?

 

[roni]

Ah, no.
Of course, I don't drink at all, as you know. I was just making up an excuse.
