A Venerable Photojournalist of the 1960s ? All Things Fulfilling
My photography is committed to the discovery of the basic spirit of human beings in their natural environment and to unrehearsed moments of human expression.?~ Cherel Ito
A few weeks ago, I was in an art gallery in Telluride, Colorado and came across an art book of a photojournalist. The book could be described as a ?volume,? it was quite large in size. ?That?s some book,? I thought, purely because of its dimensions. Naturally, I wanted to peak between the covers.?
I couldn?t believe the similarity between this photojournalist?s work, and that of another. To my way of thinking, Steve McCurry?s images are so stunning similar to that of Cherel Ito?s that it made me wonder whether he studied Cherel?s work intensely before he became a photojournalist. Ito?s work is revered by students of film, art, photography and photojournalism. Her images from the 1960s and 1970s so uniquely tell a story, that her work is featured in the permanent collections at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC. http://www.nmwa.org/?
There are two differences I saw between the compositions of these two creative people. Ito used only black and white film, which makes her work more valuable and interesting from the perspective of the historical development of photography and filmmaking.?
Also, when you read her journal entries, you realize she was an outstanding writer as well as a talented photographer. She had the ability to powerfully communicate so much, in so few words; an all encompassing artist.?
If you are not familiar with Cherel Ito?s work, her images and her journal writings have also been preserved for future generations of students of photojournalism in the book ?Through the Lens of Her Camera.? Her work is an important study in human nature as well as different cultures around the world.?
