Michael Meyersfeld (South Africa 1940-), Alex Singers (from the Dark City Dreams series) ,2009
Estimations(basse-haute) :
Notes : Michael Meyersfeld lives and works in Johannesburg. After obtaining a degree in commerce at the University of the Witwatersrand, he entered the family steel merchandising business. During this period, he was an active member of the Camera Club of Johannesburg and contributed to many international photo salons and exhibitions. At the age of forty, he gave up the world of commerce and pursued advertising photography for several decades. His fine art work slowly took over and today remains his sole photographic pursuit. His work is notable for its stark, sometimes sombre, lonely and edgy imagery that has separateness from reality. He is not comfortable being drawn into giving explanations – his titles are deliberately obtuse, nudging the viewer to uncover what memory or emotion that particular image has stirred in them, moving them to reflect and respond in their own personal world. Meyersfeld’s photographic activities in the past decade have centred around exhibitions and refining of his approach to fine art photography. He has numerous awards, including a Gold at the London AOP Awards.
