Patrick Pope (born 1966) is British photographer, who specialises in taking pictures of musicians. As a touring photographer, Pope has travelled with several notable acts.
Pope was born in 1966, to Patricia, née Pirard, and the journalist Marius Pope. He was raised in Tunbridge Wells and attended The Skinners' School. [1] His older brother is the technologist Ivan Pope. [1]
He has toured with Radiohead [2] and was commissioned by David Bowie. [3] His work is used in the packaging of the albums Suede (1993), the debut by the band of the same name, and The Fat of the Land (1997) by The Prodigy. His 2001 photograph of Dido, taken in Madrid, is in the collection of the United Kingdom's National Portrait Gallery. [4]
In 2015, photographer Pope posted an open letter to the band Garbage on his Facebook page, alleging that the band's management had approached him for permission to incorporate some of his images without fee, apart from appropriate credit. [5]
Pope felt that this was hypocritical on Garbage's part, and declined the use of the images. [6] After the post went viral, and attracted media attention, Manson posted a response to Pope via the band's own Facebook page, stating that they had decided to ask photographers for the use of their images and respect any declined requests. [7]
Pope decided to draw a line under the debate that his open letter has started, and explain the reasons for his public refusal. [5] Pope explained that he strongly felt that photography was being devalued by companies asking for work with recompense, or not even bothering gaining permission (Pope only discovered one of his images had been used in the booklet for the band's greatest hits album Absolute Garbage after purchasing a copy and opening the package). [8]
In 2018 Pope was affected by a stroke. [1]
Mathew B. Brady was an American photographer. Known as one of the earliest and most famous photographers in American history, he is best known for his scenes of the Civil War. He studied under inventor Samuel Morse, who pioneered the daguerreotype technique in America. Brady opened his own studio in New York City in 1844, and went on to photograph U.S. presidents John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Van Buren, among other public figures.
The American Civil War was the most widely covered conflict of the 19th century. The images would provide posterity with a comprehensive visual record of the war and its leading figures, and make a powerful impression on the populace. Something not generally known by the public is the fact that roughly 70% of the war's documentary photography was captured by the twin lenses of a stereo camera. The American Civil War was the first war in history whose intimate reality would be brought home to the public, not only in newspaper depictions, album cards and cartes-de-visite, but in a popular new 3D format called a "stereograph," "stereocard" or "stereoview." Millions of these cards were produced and purchased by a public eager to experience the nature of warfare in a whole new way.
