The technique of creating silhouettes in an image appeals
to me because I know that the viewers attention will be
taken directly to the main subject, says Erwin. Of all the
things you can shoot, my preferred subjects tend to be

necessary story. With that in mind, I try to put people into
some sort of context. Sometimes I will nd the perfect

SUPER STOPPER
Most photographers shooting land or seascapes would choose to work at either end of
the day when the light is soft. This is also generally the time when the addition of a 6 or 10
stop lter will give the very long exposures necessary to give the effect of smooth water
and cloud motion.
But sometimes things dont work out that way. It might be a question of tide or timing,
of weather or circumstance, or even a combination of these factors, but sometimes you
need to be able to shoot in broad daylight, or even bright sunlight, and still achieve those
very long exposures. These are the conditions for which the 15 stop Super Stopper has NEW
been designed. Super Stopper
Ive worked with these shing huts in France on many an occasion, but thought it would
be fun to visit on a very hot summers day, principally to put the Super Stopper through
its paces. The temperature was hovering around 37 degrees centigrade, the sky was blue
and the light ferocious, giving me a shutter speed without ltration of 1/500th of a second.
With the 10 stop Big Stopper that gave me a shutter speed of just 2 seconds, but with
the new 15 stop Super Stopper I was able to achieve an exposure time of 1 minute.

Lab results
Andrew Sydenhams lab tests reveal just how the camera performs
One thing thats certain is the K-1 has an excellent sensor at its heart,
which captures images with superb detail and a wide dynamic range.
In some ways, its performance is as expected for a 36MP full-frame
sensor, but comparing its results to those of some of its rivals shows it
to have some advantages, too. Considering that the only cameras that
currently beat it for resolution are far pricier than the K-1, these really
are noteworthy results. One slight oddity is the broad ISO range on

Roger Hicks considers
Death, from the Four series, 2012-2014, by Andrey Kezzyn
ANDREY KEZZYN
T
he Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse are rst described
in the sixth chapter of the
Book of Revelation in the
New Testament in the Bible. In order
of appearance, as so often in real life,
they are War, Pestilence, Famine and
Death. Good Omens, by the late Sir Terry
Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, lls out the
characters considerably. Andrey Kezzyn
shows us what they look like.
These are classic tableau photographs:
people costumed, arranged and
photographed to tell a story. Each picture
contains two adults and a child. When
trying to select which picture to reproduce
here, I was torn between Death and
Pestilence, but all four are brilliant (visit
www.kezzyn.com). There are lots of other
tableaux there too.
Now, tableau photography is about as far
removed from anything I have ever done,
although I did once pose three teenage
girls as Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak
No Evil in three spare niches on
Christmas Steps in Bristol, just down from
the Chapel of the Three Kings of Cologne.
Even so, tableaux have always fascinated
me. We do not have to practise a genre, let
alone be successful at it, to be captivated
by it. To paraphrase Dr Johnson, you do
not need to be a carpenter to tell whether
a table is well made or not.
I rst saw all four pictures, appallingly
lit and in a tiny cellar, in a temporary
gallery in Arles, southern France. They
were a superb illustration of the truth that
pictures are made to be looked at, not
reproduced. The impact was enormous.
At a guess, the original prints were about
1m (40in) high, but even at the size
reproduced here you can probably see
why I was so impressed. As so often, there
are only two reasons why I did not buy all

need several mansions, and a couple of
art galleries, to display all the pictures Andrey doesnt use digital manipulation. But if we believe them to be real, then in
that Id like to own. Why is this important? I dont know. some way they are more real. Andreys
The effort and expense of creating There is just something more real about tableaux are more real than many of the
tableau pictures is immense: lighting, straight photography. That reality may be realities we see every day with our own
models, costumes, make-up, prosthetics, illusory: what if the pictures have been eyes, because they are seen with the
stylists Its straight photography, too: manipulated, and we do not know it? eyes of the soul.
Roger Hicks has been writing about photography since 1981 and has published more than three dozen books on the subject, many in partnership with his wife Frances Schultz (visit his new website
at www.rogerandfrances.eu). Every week in this column Roger deconstructs a classic or contemporary photograph. Next week he considers an image by Willem Wernsen.
