Every morning when shes in paris christines. Flowers she says it makes the world more bearable was a. Good morning how are you. That was it i think ill take three watch rises. There for a very famous photographer who died taking pictures during the war were going to the palace says seventy. Three nice ones there. Christine spanglish was born in the news in eastern france and raised in spain she divides her time between paris and he beats a as a war photographer spending mans work has featured in many top news publication. Since the early one nine hundred seventy s. Shes reported on many of the major wars and conflicts around the world. Chad. Vietnam. Northern ireland. Western sahara. Afghanistan and. Iran. Shes currently preparing an exhibition for the house of european photography the end e. P. In paris its a retrospective of her life as a war photographer. And from all. Over the past century these five women have helped write photographic history what motivated them most still young in their twentys to take up their cameras and go to the frontlines were they as women able to see things that men couldnt. A viennese photographer is believed to be the first woman to record a military conflict on film these albums tell her story they returned from new york back to vienna and ended up in the Austrian National library. There the lifes work of alis shock a viennese jew who converted to protestantism in her mid twentys she made a name for herself as a war photographer during the First World War. The albums were discovered by viennese cultural historian christiane her up his work has helped restore charlotte to her place in history. Sinful to the dark and the second after that you have this is a lisa photograph she took during world war one russian beautiful that she probably put them into the album after the First World War as a memento of her time as a war correspondent and so leave you with that status expected out that. She was in her First Experience on the front was in an area she knew well the dollar mines. Getting back she was nabbed mountaineer a new the dolemite during peace time she went there with a group of journalists who were colleagues at least equally she not only wrote but took photographs to know and thats what made her stand out of the state that was why you see here she is with a group of officers and two civilians probably colleagues from the War Press Office by journalists or reporters. And this was a favorite since it showed her in the midst of this male military elite me go. And then the scene at the end these are two very interesting pictures on the right three soldiers and nearly their guns pointed at the enemy. And you know whats interesting is when you compare it to the one on the left hes in that instance which shows two soldiers in prone position it is a very good i mean this is a governor pointing in the same direction as me when you compare the two you realize they must be posing in the photo on the left of the theories because if the situation really were as dangerous as it seems in this photo here the three soldiers would never be nearing in the next photo here and since they were able to kneel they didnt need to be lying prone so this one is definitely passed on as it was on the last photo in the album is also interesting take at his side a callous charlock is getting out of a car and is being greeted by two officers so this was a kind of embedded journalism the officers knew she was coming you put your feet you get will to see comment. Of a movement you have to give her credit she was always pushing the limits trying to see how far she could go toward the action im sure she didnt make it easy for the press offices its year of the conflict about it. Weve come just in time now the show begins could any artist produce a more thrilling a more passionate show let those who stay home call board the crime of the century but those who experience it first hand will be gripped by the fever of the experience. We asked Christine Spangler to select one image from each of the four other war photographers and have it developed in a famous paris photo laboratory. Developing the black and white photos is an art and sunnies specialty the movements of his hands determine how much light goes where. And what i was in a five exposed its now. Going to develop it. When you already. See something in a moment then this black and white photo is of a Field Hospital in greece and italy on this living in border. For the where he belongs. I dont like it because its so simple. In this bleak place and the main sleeping of the straw pallets you need. To ensure it has a simple composition you have the Straight Lines the door the men lying down at first you might think theyre dead. So when you take a closer look you can see that theyre not dead. Theyre asleep. You know we take the printout now know how much we all really. Were so you can see the contrast in the. Eye less and more now you can see it even better method now a loved one called without this we wouldnt know anything about the Living Conditions of the soldiers back then. They called this show they. Are. Probably the worlds first woman war photographer was forced to emigrate to new york during the nazi era she died there at age eighty two. While only shylock was taking photos during the First World War. Was growing up in stuttgart her parents were jewish her father was an egg merchant. She became famous under the name tyros. Square near her parents house is named after her the city renamed the square some ten years ago following an initiative sparked by cultural historian. You must first began carrying out research on go to toronto more than twenty years ago her biography of the war photographer has been translated into several languages the book is now being released in japanese rice field. Just imagine how much id have to research if shed grown older. But unfortunately get a tower or die during the spanish civil war at age twenty six still she was like a magnifying glass who captured so many of the questions that marked the Twentieth Century and these. She was born in stuttgart in nine hundred ten in the one nine hundred thirty three she was arrested for distributing flyers after the nazis came to power she was placed in socalled protective custody and later fled to paris where she began to take photographs so for duke a few confronts freelance artists when subject to the same restrictions the large bites for bored in funk. In paris to get a met and fell in love with her young hunger in photographer andree friedman. The couple used to meet artist friends at coffee. Had an idea she would work under the. Tara and her boyfriend Andre Friedman who would take the name robert kapper. Towel these were hollywood style pseudonyms in a way. There was actually a great deal of xenophobia in france at the time right see how they wanted their photographs to sell better and build up its offer carl didnt want to be subjected to discrimination it ot semitism was then a phobia. And they worried that theyd be at a disadvantage because their names may have identifiable as refugees in baba and. They lived and worked together in one parnassus guerdon was and would always remain the love of robert campus life. I gather tara was a very vibrant person with a great deal of humor and wit but he was she knew what she wanted she was a very modern woman. Emotional about also carried out intensive research on the history of the spanish civil war which began in one nine hundred thirty six kappa and toro wanted to document the struggle of the forces of the left the republicans. In the beginning tarot and cap and publish their photos together. To us here is this is the issue about the mother evacuation tyro and a couple both took pictures there by before the coffee and the photos and here you can see their credit card her entire town hall. Both often photographed the same subject kept up with on micro tarot with a reflex corella which takes square format pictures. Tara was a highly skilled photographer in her own right. And yet is that and here is the special issue with photos taken by got a tara alone of the new peoples army in spain for me. She got the cover picture and she has a double spread in the magazine. You have and a credit to the photos tarot for towards time. Taros photos appeared in news magazines in germany switzerland spain and france the soldiers admired the german photographer. To have the charm and beauty of a child she was brave and the division admired her for that. By nine hundred forty five robert kapper had moved to new york where he and his colleagues founded the legendary magnum photo agency. Robert kapper and get a tyros legacy is in the holdings of the International Center of photography. Together with. Cynthia young has spent years investigating guerta tyros life and work they discovered that tara was much more than kappa secretary as the people at magnum thought certainly as we know her photographs are spectacular and i am more and more convinced the more i look at their work how much capital learned from tara and i think even his famous dictum if your photographs are good if youre going to have a good enough youre not close enough that was absolutely something that he saw in her or she was the fearless one of the two of them she went closer she stayed deep into the story as he was too but he could see what she was doing. After kept his death in one thousand nine hundred fifty four magnum put a new company right stamp on guitar as photographs photo robert cappa. Gerda taro was written out of photographic history. In two thousand and seven several boxes filled with hundreds of previously unknown negatives by robert capa and get a tyro arrived at the center they had survived the war and the following decades in the house of a mexican general. The discovery of the mexican suitcase as it became known caused history to be rewritten. This suitcase is a very lucky find in terms of our research its been especially important in our study have got a tolerance you. Know its helped us clearly distinguish between their work tara and cuppa. What is the female high or the female sensitivity. Thing the great story her did in the morgue and so insightful because i think it was a story that happened never photographed and never did even for the rest of his career to go so close to death and to hit it straight in the eye is that. A female perspective is that sort of the honesty of the you know the over the woman i. Left for. A second new this is the famous photo baghdad a tarot which shows the training of female republican militia during the spanish civil war yes you know so quiet this was a drill near bus alone or. When i saw it in the book as a photographer i mediately thought this is a photo taken by a woman seeking for book feedback and found. I will add to the absolutely even the contrast between the pistol and the femininity you can see the femininity in the shoes community. At. Home and she died tragically killed in spain during the fighting on the madrid front. When she was run over by one of their own telling. This bubblegum card depicts the accident that led to taras death. If you can finally says sawdust cattaro was regarded as a hero back then. There was almost a state funeral for her in paris in their eyes she was the first woman well photographer. She was the first woman photographer who was killed working on the frontlines for and the fallen east or and. Of course this was something that attracted worldwide attention the fact that photographers were putting themselves in mortal danger to take these pictures he said build the mosque and. Is buried in the cemetery in the area dedicated to the resistance and the victims of the concentration camps. Death is the risk we take in this profession these. Person might notice her sac every war correspondent man or woman else he saw. Once you commit to this profession like of occasions or religion you know that when they died doing it im going to. Force you to mount moriah but i dont think given the chance to make a different choice this is it no one would either of us and i see. Here in east sussex south of london these garden sculptures are a clue that the house belonged to an artist. Surrealist painter Roland Penrose lived here with his wife lee miller one of the most famous women war photographers. Their son Antony Penrose inherited from them and exquisite collection of modern art and a secret. After my mother died my late wife susanna came up here in the attic and she found that my mom had hidden her entire career there was Something Like sixty thousand negative so one manuscript the well maps the letter she had told everybody that there was nothing left of her work at all being destroyed in the war but we found that there was absolutely an entire life here. Antony penrose turned his parents home into a museum hes become one of the leading experts on his mothers life and work. She invented herself many different times and. She started off being a tomboy that was the first life she had then she became another student and she became a top fashion model and then she became a serious photographer and then that developed into being steered year in a commercial photographer and a fashion photographer and then she became a war correspondent and that wasnt enough so she became a combat photographer. Man ray fell in love with lee miller in paris in one thousand nine hundred twenty nine together they discovered soul or is a sion a new way of developing photographs. They had an intense relationship both professionally and romantically. Not long ago the Imperial War Museum in london hosted a major retrospective of lee millers work more than seventy years after the end of the Second World War interest in her has been reawakened. Picasso painted lee miller six times when he measure a nine hundred thirty seven he was immediately impressed with the warmth of her personality and the brilliance of her intellect and i think thats why he gave her this yellow face to reflect those qualities. At the beginning of the war lee miller lived in london with Roland Penrose who she would later mary. Lee miller was working for vogue magazine in nineteen thirty nine but she wanted to do things that were more connected with the war and suddenly the opportunity arose because vogue needed to show pictures of women at war and that was her moment. The exhibition at the Imperial War Museum sought to capture the unique perspective that miller brought to her work. Wolf talk a fee is not just from like combat there are a whole range of subjects and themes in approaches that photographers can adopt to illustrate war lee miller used all of them and i think she was the first female photographer who actually did that. Her images were as stylish as a fashion shoot women in overalls or fire masks. The family scs is very interesting to me in the way that. It showed that she was attracting her own style to the chaos of the blitz for her war with surrealism made real so she had no need to apply it there were enough to surrealist objects and scenes a quarter as she went through the entire war. Even her images of the liberation of the book involved concentration camp display a disturbing sense of the surreal. It then death and he saw this is an s. S. Prison guard endako he was probably thrown into the canal by the prisoners already killed himself. Since he was an executioner. And she wanted to take a photograph of him to show that this catastrophic and horrific era was now over. At first i was surprised to see photographs of war executioners. Because i was only interested in the victims believe him since all believe what she wanted to show that they were finally dead. Sea that this would not happen again. So land. When i did know that story the picture is really disturbing. Difficult but its good that it exists. It was what you know. Later that evening lee miller and her friend and colleague David Sherman took pictures sitting in and of hitlers bath tub in munich. The photo of lee miller in the bath tub made her world famous. When you look carefully at the photograph its been set up theres the photograph by Heinrich Hoffman on the left hand side of the path this was an extremely important image because it was the vanity portrait of hitler it was it was like taking a kind of a sacred object and insulting it then on the other side of the buff we have that horrible little kitsch sculpture by rudolph has beck and this is the tastes of hitler the man who cried degenerate. And then. We have on the floor the book. And the morning of that day those said carried lee miller around that and now she is stamping the filth of that place into hitlers nice clean bath mat and shes sitting there as a victor grinding his crimes into this intimate place and just insulting him in every way that she can possibly now. I think we were in photography. Can be both an advantage in some cases and a disadvantage in others the disadvantage came when. People with my sojourn istic they hated women they thought the womans place was nowhere near the front line she doing here anyway shes just getting in the way and then they began to get very very jealous because she was competing and she was better. And some of them became quite vicious and tried to sabotage. Ive got an amazing picture here which doesnt look like much on the surface this man is the american war correspondent who had really given only a very hard time he had done everything he could sabotage to discredit her with the author it is to get in her way to insult her and now shes standing there watching him. Steal the wrist watch from a dead german soldier now looting a corpse is a really serious offense in the military and so she waited until he had stolen the war and then she called out to him hey smile for the camera and he looked up and he saw that she had taken the picture and she never had a moments difficulty with interim that moment on. The strange. What is the arrival of a young lady comings and goings make you the name brits the dog just back from gathering scoops on the continent brilliant penrose surrealist art is now in the Army Chemical are six welcome to the bank and hopes to get rid of the baggage is at a campground on the news getting jobs. What the news report didnt reveal is that leno had been traumatized by what she had seen and experienced. After the war the doctors told lee miller that she could never become pregnant but i proved them wrong because that is me and the pain thing is by my father sharing her very heavily pregnant but also we nurses from this painting that shes looking happy she was reunited with my dad she was pregnant she was really happy about the thing but there were things waiting to go wrong already she was suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder when i was born she was hit very hard with person natal depression and in the space of two years when ronan painted her again this is how he depicted. You can see that happy faith has suddenly become filled with anxiety and coldness she really reached the depths of depression and alcohol abuse but her finest achievement was clawing her way up out of this unaided and it took a fifteen to twenty years but she recovered and one of the reasons that she was able to do that was right here this guy my dad because he stayed with it he stuck by his she was impossible. But he didnt quit and i think thats really what helped her pull up out of that terrible black pit. During one of his many visits Pablo Picasso painted a tunnel in lee millers kitchen. She died of cancer in one nine hundred seventy seven at the age of seventy thanks to her son her life and work have been restored to history. This is the garden of love god an architectural gem that mon house the cinema in the middle of paris. I love coming to love her god to this wonderful place that reminds me of vietnam but this is where i like to write what will be the second part of my autobiography i feel like im in saigon. As a fledgling war photographer christine went to vietnam in one thousand nine hundred seventy three. Seventy up. My friends in paris told me that if you arrive in saigon around midnight and go to the third floor of the associated press. You only see a man who has a reputation for never sleeping and yet they still. Force fast the famous a past fun hearns the man back then. So i came to him and said hello i want to go to the front tomorrow or i want to go to the fountain. In the set and he looked at me like this and said with his incredible german voice well basically nothing could be easier to come tomorrow at five am and ill send you to the front. Of. I dont do it didnt matter my whole life was decided at that moment. But these days i stood under the stairs and looked up at him and said but sir what kind of photos should i bring you so i can get the job as well. As you know he was still smiling at me and he said. They said lets save you thats easy the year of the rat insta day and the year of the ox beginnings you cant do that for me and you have the job. Christine spend returned with this picture it appeared in the New York Times and it was her breakthrough. Spengler sleeps among photos of afghanistan iran and Western Sahara they capture her life but also her nightmares. Spend less photographs became famous and so did she. She was called the female robert cappa a title in which she took special pride. Then with here i am in afghanistan with all my head scarves. As a woman being able to cover yourself in a child or a burka is a big advantage she. Is not only am i much less notice than a man. I just dont stand out at all. By the. New. Women of my generation in this profession are very rare maybe ten worldwide. Most of them died. They paid for the job with their lives. None of us ever got married or had children whereas all our male colleagues have children. And i dont have a feminine i have an instruction as i. Did when i hold the camera in my hands a man and woman at the same time place. Where there are taking pictures for paris match life Times Newsweek or standard. Im always aware that i have to prove that as a woman im just as brave as a man. Why was i courageous because when youre not afraid of death in the youre not afraid of anything. Way lets have a look then im very excited and. I think this is the first time youve developed my bombing of prom pen. Im always very moved even years later when i see this photo. I still dream about it. And. This is a scene or this one here with the black skies shows the two hundred twenty bombs fired by the khmer rouge. Oh this isnt a midnight sun as sort of bright white sun darkened by missiles and black smoke from the. Civil thing he said to me well. B. M. You can see the face of the horrified soldier looking at me with a helpless gesture as if to say look what theyve done. Says i did it that way deliberately. I always avoid sensationalism just as i never photographed the streams of red blood in color. Like a picture by here on a miss bosch all Dark Government that little boy that they long for a new one. Every year in late summer photojournalists from all over the world meet here in perth when young in the south of france its a chance to see photos that many newspapers wont print because theyre too distressing for young photographers pepin young is a stepping stone. In the reborn the power is here for her daughter camille. The photo journalist was killed in twenty fourteen she had spent two years in south sudan and then began reporting on the coup in the Central African republic. Kemi twenty six years old a young white woman among the black men in the fight is that scared me. Sometimes if i. Ask you always have fears about physical integrity aggression and all the things that should not happen but unfortunately sometimes do happen. Or who doesnt all. They said. I trusted coming at me but that didnt stop me from being afraid. Measures of a i knew her far she would go. It seems and i accepted her decision this issue i. Mean so many people tried to discourage me from following my dream doing photography and above all going to south sudan i cant blame them it was a crazy bet but now theyre proud of me respect what i do and i understand why i do it. You. Know reeve on the passion but some of her daughters friends in Peckham Young young women photographers who also feel compelled to tell the stories that would otherwise go unheard. Christina downside is a canadian freelance photographer who lives in kenya. But i know this is a moment when she was killed i almost essentially lost my faith in photoshop. And i thought if she was risking her life and gave her life. To tell these stories and yet after her death the work of toughening and so and i was a question whats changed in caro whats changed since us when she gave her life to. Our stories of people who ended up killing her. Commute look grew up here in armchair a medieval town in the west of france her parents still live here after her daughter died a reborn of bushs life changed for ever today she devotes her time to preserving her daughters memory. Get me because. Of all scummy rarely explained to me what she was doing that a player plays with after her death i found out what photo journalism entails under what circumstances the young people there are living. I just think im disillusioned if there are two types of photojournalism the news there is the news where you go to the middle east or africa for a specific event with or without an assignment and you come back with the photos. You. Give me see to it committed it differently is this she lived like the local people. I mean they knew and loved her. Goodness its incredible what ive learned about Central Africans gansey and why everyone knew comey the little white go with her camera who was everywhere. Ive learned about another profession i didnt realize that this type of photography existed which was a part of. Which truly frustrating is that the media is indeed not interested i was secretly hoping to make things change but quickly realized its going to take longer than i thought. I sincerely hope that once the stories are complete it will be easier to get them out if not through media through books or perhaps exhibitions. Kamila patches photograph is digital it doesnt need the darkroom. Now were talking about a young photographer who unlike the others photographed in color. A young french photographer camilla parker. Bowles you know i always think black and white is more dramatic but this one is too. I read a story that goes with us. This isnt by the rebels the antibiotic are try to wipe out the muslims and drive them out of the city for good. Is on that morning they killed five muslims who were laid out in a mosque like in a morgue and. Law the photographer has captured the moment which is always very painful when this person who probably is a member of the family closes the eyes of the dead. How would a man have photographed that is again i dont know that what happened here would have taken is from above. More sensational. And with more blood and he would have captured a smaller section or not even. Heard the seven from above to make the first or more spectacular. How horrible ravel comey.
