加入馬格南的條件:Magnum Photos is a co-operative owned and run by its member photographers. The photographers meet once a year, during the last weekend in June, in New York, Paris or London, to discuss Magnum"s affairs. One day at this meeting is set aside for considering and voting on potential new members" portfolios. Successful applicants will be invited to become a "Nominee Member" of Magnum, a category of membership which presents an opportunity for Magnum and the individual to get to know each other, but where there are no binding commitments on either side. In each of the last 5 years, between zero and four new nominees have been selected from among the many portfolios presented.
After two years of Nominee membership, photographers then present another portfolio if they wish to apply for "Associate Membership". If successful, the photographer then becomes bound by all the rules of the agency, and enjoys all the facilities of its offices and worldwide representation. The only difference between an Associate Member and a full Member is that an Associate Member is not a Director of the Company and does not have voting rights in its corporate decision making. Finally, after another two years, an Associate member wishing to apply for full membership presents a further portfolio of work for consideration by the members. Once elected as a full member, this effectively confers membership of Magnum for life or for as long as the photographer chooses. No member photographer of Magnum has ever been asked to leave.
大意:
馬格南圖片社由成員攝影師共同擁有並運營。每年六月的最後一周將在紐約,巴黎或倫敦舉行攝影師年會,共同商討圖片社事宜。會間將會有一天時間推薦並為可能的新成員投票。成功獲選的申請人將被邀請作為馬格南「提名會員」...也就是說你要通過現有成員的投票,才能成為「提名會員」。然後要做兩年,再提交一個申請,成功才能成為「助理會員」。再過兩年提交一個申請並且成功才能成為正式成員。在馬格南官網每年都會開放一個申請頁面,參與者需要提交60張圖片。申請地址:Magnum Photos History of Magnum你看現在活著的成員也就60多個,再看看他們的作品,也好知道天高地厚我等雜魚還是認真修行過再來戰吧。
跪拜中...============================*#*#*#*#*彩蛋*#*#*#**#*#*這裡面唯一的一個華裔,張乾琦,你們關注一下基本上,你很難得到一份「正確的」馬格南攝影師的名單。
我曾經希望仔細的梳理馬格南的攝影師名單,但是被這個名單搞瘋了,迄今為止,其他三位和呂楠一樣的通訊員(Micha Bar-Am、Raghu Rai、Miguel Rio Branco)早就在網站的名單上。去年剛剛成為候選人的印度攝影師Sohrab Hur在名單上顯而易見;2010年成為候選人的Dominic Nahr以及2012年成為候選人的Zoe Strauss卻不可見,可如果檢索他們的名字,又會神奇地找到兩人的馬格南主頁。
這個「特別神聖」的圖片社,其實相當「隨意」。有些人不在名單上,可能就是因為資料沒有提供完整。
針對怎樣才能了解馬格南圖片社和攝影師的文化,馬格南給出了如下幾個途徑:
1,參考馬格南網站上圖片社的歷史;2,閱讀馬格南出版的相關書籍,3, Phaidon出版的 "Magnum」 ;4, Russell Miller撰寫的馬格南的歷史。5, "In Our Time" 這本書前面的文章。
