Belgian Magnum photographers



As announced in my previous post, here are pictures of three of the four Belgian Magnum photographers. They engaged in an interesting exchange of ideas on documentary photography and the life and travails of belonging to the elite group of Magnum photographers.  The discussion was moderated by journalist Jef Lambrecht (photo 1), book signing by John Vink and Harry Gruyaert (photo 2) and Carl De Keyzer, shown here being filmed (photo 3).

  1. I confirm: the event was great, with a very interesting discussion. Baseline was: there were never so many good photographers, but it is very difficult to make a living of photography

  8. Yes Virginia and Perth Daily Photo, I consider myself lucky.
    The Belgian Magnum men (since the only lady Martine Franck could not make it that night.. unfortunately) were interesting, entertaining but also super nice, and easy to talk to real human beings.
