Mydans Square

Manezhnaya Square from different angles. Photographs by Karl Mydans¹, 1959. In this work I love colours and I am interested what type of film he used? Any one?

1. Carl Mydans (May 20, 1907 – August 16, 2004) was an American photographer who worked for the Farm Security Administration and Life magazine. Mydans recorded photographic images of life and death throughout Europe and Asia during World War II travelling over 72,000 km. In 1941, the photographer and Shelley Mydans were the first husband and wife team on the magazine’s staff. Shelley and Carl were captured by the invading Japanese forces in the Philippines and interned for nearly a year at the Santo Tomas Internment Camp in Manila, then for another year in Shanghai, China, before they were released as part of a prisoner-of-war exchange in December 1943. ↩︎
