Mark Mann: The Graflex Project @ Gawker
A while back, I bought a beautiful Graflex Super D camera from the 50s and immediately put it to work. Using instant film, I shoot interesting people in locations where they convene. With my Union Square Project, I set up a seamless white drop in the park and photograph the insanely diverse people who pass by; for Burlesque, I have gotten to know—and shoot—the extraordinary girls who perform this lost art in New York City; and most recently I brought the analogue charm of my Graflex to Gawker, where I photographed a cross section of the staff. Retouching, it should go without saying, is kept to an absolute minimum in order to keep the look and the colors authentic. Enjoy!
