Publisher's Synopsis
Wide Angle Lenses by photographer Kypros - PHOTOS ONLY - NO TEXT
Embark on a visual journey through the lens of renowned photographer Kypros, whose early years as one of the world's youngest hard news photographers unfolded amidst the chaos of riots and IRA bombings in the 1970s. Armed with a formidable combination of a wide-angle lens attached to a robust camera, resembling more of a weapon than a photographic device, Kypros captured the intensity and urgency of those turbulent times. As time evolved, so did Kypros's approach to photography, transitioning from the 35mm wide-angle setup to the challenging Rolleiflex 6x6cm medium format film camera - the very instrument once wielded by the legendary Jimmy Rayner. In the pursuit of excellence, Kypros delves into the world of telephoto lenses with magnification powers so extraordinary they defy conventional nomenclature in photography. This collection, spanning 45 years of Kypros's illustrious career as a professional photojournalist across 65 countries, primarily showcases the seldom-seen snapshots taken with wide-angle lenses. The absence of text allows the vibrant and evocative images to speak for themselves, inviting you to explore the world through Kypros's unique perspective. Whether capturing the raw energy of a protest or the quiet subtleties of a vast landscape, these wide-angle photographs, presented without commentary, invite you to ponder, appreciate, and perhaps discover a new dimension of visual storytelling.
